You are probably well aware of the hazards of Social Media and you’re probably thinking that Empire Avenue sits within a similar bracket.

I’m guessing that you have played at least one of the Facebook app games (although most of us try to hide the fact). Farmville became very popular at one point and if you are running a business, that kinda stuff really isn’t the best use of your time.

So why am I here writing about Empire Avenue, what looks like from the outside something that is going to suck your time into oblivion?

I’m going to be honest here and tell you that the only reason I even took a look at this was because it came in on recommendation from a great marketer that I know. He pointed out the downfalls, but also one of the possible benefits too.

So what has Empire Avenue got for you that can be of use?

Take a look at the quick video below where I break down a few things about how I see that it can be a great tool in your arsenal. Just bear in mind I have only been on Empire Avenue for 24 hours or so so I am not the best rehearsed at where everything is and how it all works.

3 Main Points of Interest with Empire Avenue

If you are smart (and my research is right) there are 3 main ways you can benefit from Empire Avenue, get yourself some free traffic and generate more engagement in your Social Media efforts.

1. FREE Advertising using the ‘paid ads’ using your free currency
2. Get people to do stuff and engage in your other sites using ‘Missions’
3. By being able to email your shareholders you could set up your Empire Avenue ‘business’ to run as a community, only accessible by being a sharholder in your stock. This hits on 2 levels, you’re creating and engaging with your own community plus your stock price will rise with the more members you have, which will in turn increase your profiling.
4. Ooh and a cheeky little one here, as your Social Media efforts are now on public display with Empire Avenue you have more reason to be consistent in your efforts (otherwise it will show in your stock price falling)

So in short, if you are not conscious of the pitfalls you could find yourself wasting some of your precious time, but used wisely, Empire Avenue could create you some extra interraction with the Social Media crowd and increase your brand’s exposure.
