Buzzoole is a new (to me) social network for influencers like you and me also known as a Influencer Marketing Platform.
As a blogger it is important to be acquainted with different social networks out there. When I started almost 3 years ago, I did not know anything about social networks nor being a social media influencer. For me all I knew is that I need to write posts and somehow people would stumble upon (no pun intended) my blog and they would read my blog and leave comments. Little did I know that there was more to it than it, I have mentioned before on this blog that as as blogger you’re both the content creator, editor, social media strategist and promoter of your posts. Those who’ve been blogging for a while can testify to the importance of being a social media influencer, yes it does have something to do with your followership but 9/10 it’s more about interaction on your social networks.
I keep talking about ‘social influencers’ but does that even mean? Who and what are social influencers? Social influencers in my own words are a group of people whose opinions about products can sway the public opinion. Social influencers are now bigger than big in the world of marketing, there are so many companies and brands out there that are using social influencers to get word out there about there products. As bloggers, since we talk about a variety of products we become experts on different products. These days people are not just trusting the word of the brand or company, they want someone who has actually tried the product before and shared there experience.
Buzzoole is social network that is working to bring users together, influencers (or bloggers) and brands together to network and be the testers of the latest products on the market. Many brands are using influencers to understand public opinion either before they fully launch their product or revive products or brands already out on the market. I have been using Buzzoole for only a few weeks now and I am loving it, the beauty about using is that you earn points (most social platforms do not offer such incentives) which can be exchanged for amazon gift upto £400 imagine how much damage you can do with £400 in amazon gift cards? the amazon delivery guy would definitely not have you on his christmas card list.
With Buzzoole every social network you link up allows you to be matched more easily to the different brands that are looking for influencers. I have been matched because of the social networks I have added to my profile to Encore, the Buzzoole referral program, being Buzzoole Ambassador and so far I have earned enough points to get £15 amazon gift card but I am saving it until I reach £50. It is easy to sign up for Buzzole, you can use this link to sign up for an account with Buzzoole or you can watch the video.

I prefer getting paid in cash, that is why I love Webfluential. They give me a suggested price based on what other Webfluential Influencers are charging, for each of my social profiles and also for my blog posts.
Once you created your prfile and set your price brands can search for your profile on Webfluential and include you in Influencer Marketing campaigns. If you get selected you will receive a job offer with a brief of what will be required in the camapaign, how many social posts, how many blog posts etc. and then I can accept or decline the job at my own discretion. 30 days after the campaign has been completed, I receive my payments via Paypal or bank account. I’ve made more than $2600 over the last 6 months with Webfluential.

Monica y says
I have never heard about it but for sure bookmarking the site. Great to grow the blog and get organized in 2o16
Miranda says
I hope you find it as useful as I am so far
Marielle Altenor says
I joined a few weeks ago. It’s fun to see my “reach”. I love how you can get points and convert them to Amazon gift cards. I use Amazon a lot so this will be fun!
Miranda says
I know right, it’s awesome. I can not wait to earn more points and convert them to Amazon gift cards
Zoe Alicia says
Hadn’t heard of this site before. Probably shows how little I really know about utilising my social media! Definitely will be paying more attention to social networks like this for 2016 x
Miranda says
I didn’t know about it until a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon it. 2016 I think we will all be paying more attention
Crystal says
I’m not sure that I’ve signed up for that one yet. I’m going to get on and check it out.
Miranda says
Hope you do sign up, I am loving it so far.
Colette S says
I have heard this name before but now so much information. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have to be a UK blogger only, or does it extend beyond for other bloggers in other countries?
I’m quite interested in this program.
Miranda says
I don’t think it’s restrictive to UK bloggers, I saw it original on a USA blogger’s webpage
Jaime Nicole says
I’ve never head of this before either. I’ll definitely have to check it out – it has some aspects that remind me of Klout.
Miranda says
Actually that’s right it does remind me of Klout too. Hope you check it out
Eileen says
This sounds like a really interesting social network. I’m not on it yet, but I’m going to have to check it out and try it out for myself.
Miranda says
Hope you get a chance, it’s a lovely network.
Bonnie @wemake7 says
I haven’t heard about this until now. I can’t wait to check it out. I really need to work on getting noticed.
Miranda says
I am glad to be introducing you to it.
Mudpie Fridays says
Thanks for the tip I have not come across Buzzole before it sounds like a good idea in theory. I intend on working on my social media as well next year – I have a couple of goals which I want to try and hit next year! x
Miranda says
You most welcome. I hope you achieve those goals and also try out Buzzoole
Cathy (MummyTravels) says
Definitely a nice idea – there suddenly seem to be a few new ones around (or I’m suddenly only now paying attention) but a lot don’t seem worth the effort of signing up. This one sounds like there’s more to it though.
Miranda says
I know what you mean, I signed up to plenty and honestly most are just a waste of my time. I do love Buzzoole though as I have already earned some pretty credits.
Erica Price says
I read about this on another blog the other day, but I’d not heard about buzzoole before that. Interesting idea to find out about your strengths and weaknesses.
Miranda says
Definitely an interesting idea for us bloggers and other online influencers out there.
Terri Beavers says
This sounds interesting. I’ll have to check into it as I’m always looking for social networks to increase my reach.
Miranda says
It really is interesting indeed
Nicola Cassidy says
Ooo this sounds very interseting. I’m very open to new networks at the moment, trialling a few to see what works for me. So I’m going to register and see what happens!
Miranda says
I am glad to hear that, I too been trying some networks to see which would work for me and so far this one is.
Emma T (@ETusty) says
It’s nice to get something back as a blogger for signing up to these networks. I find I sign up to so many, and rarely find them useful, most are very US based so irrelevant to me.
Miranda says
I know exactly what you mean as being a UK blogger we are in similar position but with the network it doesn’t matter much on your location.
Mandy says
This is definitely a useful site for bloggers to connect with brands and extend their social reach. Great find!
Miranda says
Absolutely, it’s always nice for bloggers to have affiliate networks that connect bloggers and brands together
Heather lawrence says
I have never heard of Buzzole before. I am planning on putting in much more time in 2016 working on my social media for my blog so I will have to check it out!
Miranda says
I intend to do the same for my blogs in 2016
