Social Follow Profiles Officially Launched!

We have been working day and night (literally) to give you the ability to create your own profile on SocialFollow.com.

Why would I need another profile?
Honestly, we don’t know. But we figured we would give you the functionality as another method to gain exposure and for something that will take you 5 minutes…why not?

A few days ago we created the ability to have profiles on Social Follow, but the “official launch” is really about making it visible on the website with a profiles menu button and giving people the option of searching through the profiles.

We built in some functionality to ensure your profiles are optimized for greatest exposure through the search engines, yay!

We have a field for your Twitter Feed and Blog Feed with some handy instructions in case you need that extra assistance. When you enter the link to your feeds, the most recent posts from those feeds will show up on your Social Follow profile and automatically update whenever a new post is added.

What is the future for the Social Follow profiles?
We’ll get back with you on that, input is definitely appreciated. We are not trying to completely blur our original purpose because the Social Follow button is really our unique element, but having profiles could only help.

Check out the profiles at: www.socialfollow.com/profiles/

Social Follow Featured On Go2Web20.net

Social Follow has been building up for some time now with over a quarter-of-a-million button impressions, and it has now been featured on Go2Web20.net.

The website lists new and upcoming Web 2.0 applications and tools.

As I write this post, we are list #3 on their home page and we’re being tweeted about pretty consistently.

With a huge increase in users, we urge you to claim your name now with a Social Follow Profile before it’s taken by someone else, as we’ve already seen some users simply “grabbing” names.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,
Kerry Jones
Social Follow Lead Developer

Social Follow Profiles

Hello everyone!

The Social Follow beta is evolving and with it comes more features. One of which we’re specially excited about.

You can now create a Social Follow Profile for each button you have that will hold a search engine friendly URL. This means you have to claim your name, as they are unique. If you have a business, we suggest claiming that too. Remember, each button can have a profile.

What do these profiles look like? Well, here’s mine:
http://www.socialfollow.com/profiles/kerry-jones/

If you’re worried you don’t have a twitter or don’t have a blog, don’t fret, it is customized to what you have. You will also notice that it adds a “Social Site” to the Social Follow button itself.

Here are a few more profiles:
http://www.socialfollow.com/profiles/social-follow/
http://www.socialfollow.com/profiles/rafferty-pendery/

So, how do you do it? Simply create a new button, or edit an existing one, and go down to the 4th option. This option didn’t exist before.

Select the option of “I want a Social Follow Profile” and fill in as many of the details as possible to get as complete a profile as possible. You will see there is a plethora of options you can choose from.

Have a great day!

Social Follow: Profile Pages Coming Soon

Social Follow has been growing rapidly, giving us a strong base of people helping us find any bugs. At this point, the Social Follow system is solid with the functionality included. Thanks to everyone!

Onto the next phase: Profile pages. We are including the functionality of being able to have a profile page for each of the Social Follow buttons you manage in your accounts. This is going to be a basic profile page to help give more points for you to attract attention about you and your business.

We have all the functionality worked out, and are shooting for having it live this next weekend.

Stay tuned!

Social Follow: Almost Launched

There have been a select few getting the inside skinny on the launch of Social Follow. I figured I would give a more general update on what we have been working on. Here are some of the things we have been doing in order to have an effective launch and scaling (for expansion) of Social Follow for the future:

1. Reducing Code: After you sign up for the account with Social Follow, you will then create your button. After you enter the links for your social sites, you press Create button and you get a box with the code you need to copy and paste to your website. We have reduced this to only a few lines of code which will make the button load faster and perform better on your website.

2. Improving User Flow: After looking at the flow of the interface, we have made some changes to make the interface more intuitive and overall easier for people to use.

3. Analytics: We were going to wait to release the analytics functionality of the Social Follow button, but looks like we should be able to release it on our initial launch. This required us to do additional coding to make the button track things such as how many impressions your Social Follow button gets, how many people are using your social follow button for any given period of time and lots more.

We will give more specific updates to the different parts of Social Follow as they are finalized.

Thanks for following!

Social Follow Button: User Flow

In developing the Social Follow button, we had to take into consideration many details from the optimization of the coding to functionality. In this I’m going to lay out the simplicity of getting started with the Social Follow button.

The flow works like this:

1. User creates an account on SocialFollow.com

2. The user goes to the create button page and fills in all their links to their social sites. Then click Create Button at the bottom of the page.

3. You will see a pop up with some code in it. Copy and paste this code to your website, wherever you want the button to appear.

That’s it!

The button will now show up on your website displaying the social sites you put links for. If you want to update your button later, go back to the create button page and you will see the social sites you already listed there. Add any additional links or delete any you want to remove. It’s as simple as that.

The button can be 1 column or 2 depending on the number of links you want in your button. You get the 1 column button for 1-7 links and that looks like this for example:

Then if you want 8-14 or more buttons you will our 2 column button which looks like this:

The Social Follow button was built to require very little code and be optimized to load quickly on websites, this is done as well. The button is a few lines of code and loads instantly on websites.

I hope you have as much fun using the button as we did creating it.

Enjoy,

Definition of Social Follow

Social Following is when people are actively searching your social networks to get more of an understanding of you as a person. In doing this, people get to know you on more of a personal level, which can result in increased business.

When Social Following is properly managed, visitors to your site(s) feel more inclined to use you when seeking out someone to solve whatever problem they are trying to solve. This is because you provided them an easy way to get to know you as a real human vs. Bob, the VP for Administrative Affairs in Diplomatic Affairs (ok, maybe the title is a little extreme). Nonetheless, when executed properly, a Social Following strategy can make the difference between a product that sells 20 units and one that sells millions.

Social Follow’s button allows you to have all social networks in one button.
