Social Connect review and bonus bro-fest

North Denver News - The Voice for the New North Denver

Alrighty, then. What is the buzz on Sam Bakker‘s Social Connect and what are the bonuses…

Here's a quick rundown:

So just what is Social Connect? In short, it is a full-featured comment system designed to create engagement and capture  commenters to build a list and remarket to. At first blush, that may not be as wow as many internet marketing products it does actually provide many competitive advantages to users, and really plows a virgin furrow.

Web publishers use comments nearly universally as they are a the easiest means  to not only get feedback but also to engage with site visitors. They are ubiquitous,  built into WordPress and every other CMS systems, and almost all Web 2.0s. Comments are common  on sales pages, squeeze pages and even on promotional pages such as bonus pages or review pages. But challenges exist with the way many people choose to integrate comments. Most of these issues are caused by the fact that sites use a general purpose commenting system, like the native WordPress platform or the Facebook comments widget.

Into the gap steps Social Connect. What if there was a way to turn comments into super

profitable leads for your business? What if there was a way to build massive social proof and

sell lots of products with comments?

Everyone knows how powerful it is to build social proof around your products or services. Amazon does this with their reviews… Forums and blogs do it with their comments… Social Connect can build more social proof and communities for your visitors to get more sales and higher conversions:

Here's Brett Rutecky's take:

The first thing I noticed is that the social log in buttons only show on the sign up page, not on the registration page. I think it makes sense to have them on both pages if they are enabled. Second I wish that people who make comments where able to edit their comments later. As it currently is they can only delete them, not edit them. Finally I noticed that the system will show the number of people who are ‘online’. It gets this number from the people who are logged in.  What this means is that if people just leave the page, without logging out, the system will still show them as being online. In a way this might be a good thing since it makes it look like your comment box is always active, however I wish there was some kind of automatic inactivity timeout that logs people off and removes them from the list of people online automatically.

Neither of these things are bugs though, they are more like suggestions for improvement. Overall I think Social Connect is a very good system with a lot of options and functionality. While it may not have the ‘hype appeal’ of some push button get rich quick products (that are often nonsense) it is in fact what a good software should be. It's a functional tool and frankly its just a better, more engaging way to use comments, while also building your email list.

More thoughts: Testimonials a.k.a Social proof.

But if it is old/static and not a live content, it might not impress the prospect. But what if you can have the testimonials in the form of a chat or a dialog box that is open for all to comment and you also get to build a list in this process?

Social Connect is a chat platform that lets you have online chat communities inside of your website and also assists in list building. With Social Connect, you can do it in three  simple steps:

1. Customize a pre-loaded template

2. Set the moderation rules
