Early Adopters

Paying for goods or services with a Facebook post is an idea so simple, it begs the question, "Why isn't everyone doing this?"

I suppose it has more to do with the life cycle of innovation or the life cycle of technology. Many times, an ideas adoption has more to do with social convention than merit. This image illustrates.

If you're a small business looking to jump start your marketing efforts with minimal cost, what do you have to lose? It's really quite straight forward. Build messages that you want your customers to post on their facebook pages. Enter products and / or services that you are willing to exchange for the message (along with how many friends they must have to get your stuff). That's it. Your customers are doing your marketing for you!
