Membership Surges After US tour.

Well I’m back from my whirlwind trip around the USA, where I met some amazing people and helped to raise the profile of The SOC Exchange and our fantastic online community around the United States.

I had a great time appearing on various TV programs, like Good Morning Columbus, Good Morning Austin, Tennessee Mornings, Fox in the Morning in Louisville, Better Connecticut, NBC and ABC 40.

As you can see, I literally spent more time in the air than I did on the ground as I hopped from state to state to spread the word about our SOC community.

We’ve posted lots of footage of my TV appearances on the website, so make sure you check it out and let me know what you think!

I really believe that the fact we received so much air time on TV across the USA and also met loads of great people along the way, has had a tremendous impact for The SOC Exchange community. It confirms the need for an online model that is simple, fair and affordable!

Our site membership has increased enormously, with membership literally growing by the second as Americans in their droves are jumping on board to sell their goods and seek out the great products and bargains on offer on the site.

While I was in the USA, I also met with a number of charities with a view to forming relationships for a great program we’ve launched - The SOC Exchange Charity Referral Program.

In a nutshell, The SOC Exchange is partnering with worthwhile charities in an arrangement whereby the charity receives a split of revenue (50%) for each person that signs up with The SOC Exchange on a yearly membership and quotes the charities’ unique referral ID.

This means that each charity that becomes part of The SOC Exchange Charity Referral Program will receive $5 for each person that signs up for a $10 one year subscription and quotes the charities’ unique referral ID. The partner charities are also given their own branded 'SOC' sites, free of charge, on which they can promote their services, conduct fundraising activities and keep 100% of the profits raised.

Well, that’s it from me for now – until next time, may your sales be great sales…
