Discover Magic of Entrecard U Drop I Link| New Work At Home Ideas


Have you seen a new widget on a lot of Work at Home Business blogs lately? A widget that the owners spend precious time to design and put a smashing title on and finally placing it in strategic places in their blogs? It may also come in a few sizes but the colors and pictures may differ due to owners’ fancy or creativity. But the one thing that does not change though – every one of these widgets has the unmistakably “E”. Yes, you probably guessed it – Entrecard.

Entrecard is essentially a social networking system but some of the work at home ideas being thought of in site promotion seem pleasantly unique and offer a refreshing change to bloggers.

What is Entrecard

In a nutshell:

· Entrecard is a blogging network as well as a social networking system.
· You can drop your card whenever you visit other bloggers who are members too
· Other bloggers who visit you drop their cards on your Entrecard widget
· Entrecard uses a currency called EC – Entrecard Credits
· You can use EC to buy adverts on other sites.
· [tag-tec]Entrecard[/tag-tec] has forums that you can participate in.

Entrecard: How To Grow Your Blog

The term used in this blogging community is “drop your card” which essentially means login into Entercard and simply click the “Drop” at the blogger’s Entrecard widget. After doing so you get a polite “Thanks” so you know you’ve done it successfully. It really can’t get any easier than this don’t you think.

Drop 30-50 cards a day perhaps just to get to know how it works or who is in this blogging network. You can be sure that when you do this, a fair number of bloggers will return the favor by visiting your site or blog.

While [tag-tec]Entrecard[/tag-tec] has made card dropping so easy, I really don’t suggest you visiting 50 sites daily just to get yourself rewarded with EC credits. Do remember that it is a social network first so you should get sociable and take some time to pick out some good sites that you may envisage working with in your work at home business. Then leave a comment as you normally would when you are networking with other bloggers or potential business partners.

Entrecard: Advertising

As an [tag-tec]Entrecard[/tag-tec] member, you can apply to advertise on any of the blogs in the network. There are currently more than 10,000 blogs listed in the network. After you have purchased an advertisement on your chosen site, your ad will be active for a good 24 hours.

You must have enough EC credits to cover the cost of your intended ads. The price of the ads will be shown below the members’ Entrecard image on their profile. Just click the “Advertise” button found under this given price when you’ve decided to advertise on this site. You will also see a ‘wait time’ depending on how many ads there are in the queue.

Entrecard: Exchange EntreCard Credits for Money

Yes I’m really sober and you read it right all right. You can make money online here. Your EntreCard credits can be used to exchange for real money. Unlike in the past when you may have to go to [tag-tec]eBay[/tag-tec] and sell them, you don’t have to anymore. You can sell it back to EntreCard for real cash, Of course its not going to make you very rich selling your credits, but where else could you find a [tag-tec]Social Network[/tag-tec] giving you money in exchange for credits they gave you so easily.

On a more serious note the reason why EnterCard allows such cash exchanges is because ECs can also be purchased by members using cash and this helps to provide the overall EntreCard Credits to Cash in a balanced position. The currency exchange rate is 7.50 US Dollars for every 1000 ECs. Kudos to EntreCard for such a brilliant idea.

EntreCard: New Work at Home Ideas

EntreCard implemented its newest idea giving all members more EntreCard Credits. Since June 2, for every new blog post you published, you earn 25 ECs. This credit compensation is given to you automatically as the Entrecard system picks up your new posts from your RSS feed submitted during your registration. I really like EntreCard for some of these little things that they do, creating the buzz and excitement and another great work at home idea.

EntreCard: U Drop I Link

This widget is used exclusively by [tag-tec]Entrecard[/tag-tec] members and I just had it installed on my blog so go ahead to take a look at it. It is not owned by [tag-tec]EntreCard[/tag-tec] but developed by a third party and created for the main purpose of rewarding Entrecard members who visit other members’ blog.

Essentially what this widget does is that when you drop your card, it retrieves and displays the content of your Entrecard Inbox and shows the last 50 blogs which have dropped a card on it at any date. But what good does this benefit you? Well just by dropping your card, on my blog for example, your Entrecard ID is added to my Entrecard Inbox and your blog url, name and description are displayed on the widget for other bloggers to see. You get to stay on my widget until the 51st visitor drops his card on my blog. So essentially the 2 most obvious benefits are a linkback to your blog and getting some traffic coming from my blog. So feel free to drop your card on this blog at the “Drop” sign of my Entrecard widget to enjoy these benefits now. Do it fast before these spots get taken up (less than 40 now).

Get the U Drop I Link widget now by going to Work At Home Wealth. All it takes is 5 minutes to set it up by following the owner’s set up instructions. It’s really a simple yet powerful concept to increase visitors to your blog, get more ECs and finally rewarding them for visiting your blog with a linkback automatically. Now who can possibly say no to this.

What do you think
What do you like about Entrecard, their good work at home ideas and what are some of the things that don’t really excite you in this social networking system. If you’re already a Entrecard member or if you have the U Drop I Link widget, do share with us any experiences good or bad so that we can learn more about it.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for mentioning “You drop, I Link” widget on your post. I’m confident it will help you get more visitors from Entrecard.

    I’ve just stumbled and twitered your post, but culd not digg it because your address has been reported for spamming Digg, be careful with that.

    Congrats for your blog.

    Hi Anthony,

    Thanks for dropping by and for the stumble as well. Yes I’m not sure what really happened to my Digg. The fact is that I seldom used it and have never done anything wrong. I tried to contact them but got no replies so I gave up trying.

    I have been using Entrecard for a while. No doubt it helps to bring in the extra traffic but on further analysis, they are merely droppers who are intent on making drops than come for a real visit. Hence, the bounce rate is pretty high.

    Still it is a relatively good and inexpensive way of blog promotion. Oh ya, I didn’t know you can actually resell your points back to EC, is it possible?

    Hi Yan,

    About the selling back of credits to EC, I have read this in at least 2 blogs and from what I read, this was something new and implemented by EC in June. I couldn’t find it in the FAQ though. But it could be true since this was written by more than one person. Oh BTW Yan, I customised my EC image but nothing changed. Even though they said to approve or reject all ads. Any idea?

    I really doubt if they do as nowadays it’s so much easier to earn EC credits through power dropping.

    Look at it this way, they sell EC credits out of nothing which means they will never run out of credits. Hence, does it make sense if they practice buying back? I may be wrong but from any business point of view, it’s just not the norm of doing business.

    I may take awhile to see the widget update your EC image, I had the same issues before but it should be fine after a while. Sometimes, it takes day…

    Hey Alan,

    Good of you to drop by. Yes I’m still new to Entrecard so I thought I’d better start to find out more. Afterall there is free traffic. It may not be the most targetted traffic, but still the concept is interesting and pretty powerful if you ask me.

    Great post. I have used Entrecard for about 3 months now and it has helped my traffic stats.

    However, in the long term, Entrecard has to create more incentives to get people to read and comment on blogs, else it becomes a traffic exchange.

    Hi Jeflin,

    Thanks for visiting here. I believe it’s your first so welcome! I’m very new to Entrecard but I do see some traffic so any traffic is better than no traffic. Perhaps Entrecard helps to create some opportunities from networking with a few good ones. Do visit us again and share your Entrecard experience here as well.

    Hi guys – after reading through an awful lot of stuff on here I want to ask you lot a question. Of course I want to find a way to work from home or I would not be here – but where do I start? Online surveys are tempting – like http://makemoneysurvey.net – But I would prefer to start with a recommendation from someone who is doing well already.

    Thanks in advance – Kieran

  22. Peter Lee Says:

    @Kieran Hines: Hi Kieran, thanks for dropping by and your comment. Many people define success or in your term “doing well” differently. Most people will tell you the average person takes some time to be really successful and no two persons can achieve similar successes over the same time even with the same business program. So though you can still do this i.e. getting a recommendation from the most successful, but it may not be the only way to it. That said and since you asked for a recommendation, do take a look at my Plugin Profit Site and SFI Top Home Business Opportunity both of which have made many people successful. Feel free to email me if you need more details or if you have further questions.

    Hi Peter,

    I’ve been wondering a lot lately about Entrecard and whether I should join.
    Your post here is very descriptive and has helpd me to make my decision (which is yes, I will be joining soon).

    The first time that I heard about Entrecard (maybe 3 months ago), it really sparked my interest as it really “resonated well” with me. Your post here has helped to bring this into focus for me.

    Thanks for that.

    Entrecard is great. I just joined and got a recommendation right off the bat. My ego got puffed up because a lot of people wanted to advertise on my blog right away, then my ego got flattened when I learned eager Entrecarders wait at the “recently joined” door to jump on the cheap advertising marks like me. I'm doing the same thing now. It's like a mosh pit over there.
