Most people would agree that social media has become an important part of our modern daily lives. Digital natives spend a lot of time using Twitter, updating statuses on Facebook, blogging, and engaging with other online users. Over time this engagement builds an online reputation.
Services like Klout, PeerIndex and more recently Kred attempt to measure your online reputation with mixed results. Yet the data that makes up our online reputation is valuable to corporates, marketers and more importantly you. But how do you exploit your online reputation and leverage it for profit?
Well, a new London based start-up, MinuteBox, said they have found a solution.
MinuteBox enables people to buy and sell expertise online in small units of time via multi-media (video/audio/text) chat. They believe that individuals with specific skills should be able to leverage their online reputation, and sell it to a growing online audience.
Using a web-based application, MinuteBox facilitates live advisory sessions between experts and clients and handles the payments for these transactions. To help experts fully leverage their reputation, MinuteBox also offers a powerful widget called MinuteBox Direct. This widget allows experts to offer live expert advice directly from their blogs, websites, and social profiles.
As a pioneer in promoting future social technologies, media140 is forming a partnership with MinuteBox to offer their service to our community. We are very excited about the potential of this partnership, and believe that it can actually help individuals leverage greater value from their online reputation and skills.
MinuteBox are trialling their service in BETA at the moment and are looking for early adopters to help them fine tune the product before they launch on a much larger scale.
As an incentive media140 can offer anyone wanting to register a reduced commission rate of only 15% (normal 25%). (The commission rate is fee MinuteBox deduct from the transactions.)
