Empire Avenue is awesome, and if you haven't heard about it yet, don't worry. I was an extremely late bloomer to the site myself. If you are new to the concept, Empire Avenue is a social media stock market if you will. When you sign up, your online name has an IPO. Other bloggers buy your shares and in return this increases the value of your brand name and Empire Avenue currency (e).
Investing in other bloggers is important, you want to look for active users that have a lot of activity on their social networks. This pays dividends which will keep money coming into your portfolio so you can continue investing. Finding ways to make more (e) on Empire Avenue isn't always easy.
When driving traffic to our blogs it's going to cost a lot of (e) so in the beginning, continue investing in other members by purchasing shares and eventually your earnings will be so great you will be able to afford weekly missions. You will also receive (e) when others buy shares from you. Building a large and profitable portfolio is extremely important from the start.
Driving Blog Traffic With Empire Avenue
Tip #1 From what I've seen it's custom behavior to leave a comment after buying shares with twitter a handle and or blog link. It's normally accompanied with a nice message to the user expressing your interest in them and opening the doors to further communication. I normally say something along the following lines,
“In for 200 shares my friend, if you blog or want to get me back I'm @bbrian017 and @blogengage”
What I'm doing is making sure this user knows I want to create a relationship with them. I have invited the user to engage with me, purchase my shares and possibly even follow me on Twitter. Let's remember I don't just purchase any shares, I ensure the user has some sort of social media brand power and activity.
Tip #2 The second tip is creating missions for Empire Avenue users to visit your blog, follow you on twitter or engage with you in some sort of way in social media. This will drive high quality traffic back to your blog. Make sure to offer a nice award for completing the mission but trust me the users are top quality traffic and could be extremely interested in your blog and what you have to offer..
Be careful when you're creating your missions, I would suggest to keep them small around 30 – 40 and if you want to target your audience only offer it to your shareholders. I on the other hand allow anyone to do my missions as all Empire Avenue users are prospects for my RSS and Social Media Services.
Smart Investing on Empire Avenue
The last tip I have for you today is to invest with your brain and not your heart. Make sure the people you invest in are active, have many social connections and have a high paying dividend. You hold on to these shares and daily they pay you extremely well per each share you own.
I know the price is high for this stock but if your portfolio can purchase shares that will perform this well you will be creating weekly missions in no time. Just look for users that have their profiles connected and visit the profiles to see how many people they know, how many posts they're doing, and how often. Remember social activity is key to high dividend payouts.

Hi Saad your very welcome, make sure to come back here and share your EA name so I can purchase some of your shares and help your stock grow. So far I’ve been enjoying the site A LOT and it’s been driving a lot of traffic to my website.
Sure thing , just too busy with a new project 🙂 , i dont see you a lot on my site then how are you getting away with the traffic ??? LOL
Hey if you have a new project create a missions for people to Tweet, Like or Comment on something your doing,. I get great results! Don’t miss out saad.
yea , working really hard for it , its looking great and i would be needing help from successful communities like urs (Blogengage) , Miss Ileane and Andy Bailey(Big fan of him)
ps that was supposed to be if not f lol looks like I said f you haha. Sorry about that one.
still havn’t altered the comment lol :p
Another good income source, Thanks for your valuable share.I will try my luck with this.
I don’t think it’s a good source to earn money, in fact it’s not at all. You earn (e) which can buy shares or drive traffic by using missions. I think you should check it out I’m sure your blog can benefit from it big time.
Never thought that Empire can be so successful, thanks a lot! Really apreciated!
Hi Toms your very welcome! Enjoy and have fun I’m having a blast learning and understanding the community.
There’s probably some informational benefit to Empire Avenue, but by and large it seems like a way to ascribe value to behavior that may really just be a waste of time. Reminds me of Farmville, to be honest. Should I tweet more to bump up my social networking “value”? Probably not, when there are plenty of activities that have real world value.
And the best part is the expanded activity to drive up share prices and dividends is short term – it falls again when you stop again, which makes artificial inflation attempts temporary, and not that effective. People sell you off when activity drops, so you’re better off finding your happy medium.
Don’t ever judge a book by it’s covers, Amrik I’m telling you now Empire Avenue drives traffic and is getting me new sales for my rss services. If you use it, create missions I know for a fact you will see an increase in traffic. It’s all about building new relationships and right now Empire Avenue is doing an amazing job of accommodating this need for us.
Great post Brian.
I didn’t know that Empire Avenue can bring traffic to our blog. I new you are a member of Empire Avenue, but I never thought it could give you some extra traffic.
It would be so nice to buy shares and creating missions. I too will surely sign up with it as I want a traffic increase.
Thanks for sharing such a valuable piece of information with us.
Hi Arbaz your very welcome, you will find Empire Avenue to be rather addicting LOL. But it’s a tons of fun, you can drive traffic with missions, buy shares, send shareholder announcements. It’s a ton of fun once you understand what’s happening.
Yeah, you will surely see me in Empire Avenue in upcoming days. We’ll have fun together investing in each other’s shares. 😉
My favorite thing to do right now is to watch the new people come in and when they connect their social profiles purchase and build that new relationship, that’s what it’s about right? Building the first initial positive connection?
Hi Brian,
That seems quite interesting concept to increase your blog exposure and driving relevant traffic as well.
Hi Aasma it is a ton of fun, if you end up joining come back and share your profile link I would love to invest in you.
I have never heard about Empire Avenue before, so I can’t leave very valuable comment here. All I have to say is that I will check out the Empire Revenue system.
Hey Ehsan that’s so amazing, see I wanted to bring something new to Basic Blog Tips and I think I may have succeeded this time. It seems like a lot of readers here are new to the program and this article is something new we can all try. Please if you end up joining come back and share your username, I would love to connect and purchase 200 shares from you.
Hello,
im from, Germany, “Empire Avenue” is completely new for me as a method! I will give this a try, thanks for the tip!

Hi Brian, I am now a member over there. Its early days and quite confusing. I added a couple of RSS feeds and it wants recommendations. I have no idea what that is. You can find me on there. If I am allowed to post the profile here then here goes. http://www.empireavenue.com/SHALUSHARMA
Okay that’s great I purchased 200n shares and I endorsed both your blogs, you need 5 for each blog and then it increases your share value and social influence. Best of luck, now my advice is to spend money investing in others and expanding your portfolio. Check out my comment luv for some good investment opportunities. I do a weekly post now.
Thanks Brian for that. I too have invested in you. Its a little confusing at first. I spent all the money buying and then realised had nothing left. But when I came back today, there was some in the kitty to buy some more. It’s a good concept.
Yeah I saw that, honestly great investment I can see my stock going very high, in fact it has to from what I can tell the system is mathematically based from. Sorry my stock are so expensive. Make sure to check out some of the Empire Avenue posts on Blog Engage you will love the tips.
I had not heard about Empire Avenue, so I appreciate you writing about it, and talking about how it is working for you.
One thing, I had a little trouble finding it, as there is another site that is EmpireAvenueTips— was pretty confusing. Now I have tracked down the real site, and it looks pretty neat. I am signing up! Thanks for sharing.
Seems to be the trending response in this article, it’s about time someone brings something new to basic blog tips huh? I hope you join the site and enjoy it, it’s a ton of fun.
I have to admit that it is an unusual idea, but it has a huge potential. I would give it a try, especially that I like the whole concept.
Hi v great news this is exciting, cool to see I’m sending so many new members over to Empire Avenue! This is exciting make sure to check me out and share your own profile link so we can invest in you.
yes, There is probably some informational benefit to Empire Avenue, but by and large it seems like a way to ascribe value to behavior that may really just be a waste of time. Reminds me of Farmville, to be honest. Should I tweet more to bump up my social networking “value”? Probably not, when there are plenty of activities that have real world value.
Since I’ve been using the system I’ve made so many new connections, I got a ton of new Facebook fan page users and I’ve even seen an increase in sales from my services. If you have something that provides great value and service then you will see as well Empire Avenue is a great place to meet, connect and drive traffic.
Hi Brian,
You have done a great job of reviewing this site. It seems pretty complicated for me and right now money is tight. I went to the site and it looked kid of confusing for me. I hope all these commenters here are able to join cause sounds like everyone is pretty interested in joining. Great job! Saly
Sally, this is the second time you have commented on my Empire Avenue posts and mentioned how your money is tight or you don’t have it. Listen the site is free lol you don’t need money. The site is entirely free to use and operate when we say money it’s fake money (e)
Ok, Brian. No problem with you laughing at me cause I am very funny! Sometimes I confused with a blonde (just kidding all my blonde friends)! Of course, I was testing you cause I totally know it was fake money…… LOL Sally
Okay thank goodness, I thought you weren’t joining because you were thinking you needed to pay real money. Real money can be spent there but it’s not needed at all.
You are such a push over! I think I’ll pass right now though because I have so many distractions already.
It is so funny that I thought it was real money. I’m confused easily. LOL Sally

Its seems an interesting thing on internet buying bloggers shares and I am confuse in it how that’ll be work? Secondly, how can we get to know that its been working well for our business?
Pay attention to the connections, names and brand images your meeting and making. If you see these users on your blog, tweeting or liking or even signing up toy our services then you know it’s been a success. I’ve already received over 9 new customers using Empire Avenue on Blog Engage.
