Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.
Back in 2009 I created two clubs, one called "Retweet Club" and the
other one called "Facebook Club", where members would share each
other's content, with the goal of increasing social media traffic
to their blogs and websites.
The clubs worked as mailing lists (using Google Groups), but
eventually the activity died down. The main reason was the
following: sharing wasn't fair. A member could be selfish and only
send requests to the club, without ever sharing the content from
other members.
A couple of weeks ago I started thinking about what could be a
better model, and I came up with this: a club where members would
earn points by sharing the content from other members, and once
they reached a certain amount, say 10 points, they would be able to
spend those points to post their own request to the club.
This would make the system pretty fair, because members who didn't
share the content of other members wouldn't earn points and
wouldn't be able to post their requests. In turn members who were
very active would earn more points and be able to post more
requests.
I spent the last week or so coding such a platform, and I launched
it a couple of days ago. Despite that we already have 90 active
members and over 500 retweets!
The club is completely free and works on a website (so don't
worry about getting tons of emails). Here's the URL:

So far only the Twitter section is working (i.e., you can only
retweet stuff from other members and request retweets on your own),
but I am working on the Facebook section already and it should go
live within a couple of weeks.
See you inside,
Daniel Scocco
