Promotional Frenzy Team is a moderated team with the following requirements:
SERIOUS BUSINESS OWNERS WANTED! The 1st week or two on the team will require a little more work initially in order to get used to the routine and to follow each other on social networks.
We are looking for people who already have social networking accounts with Twitter, stumbleupon, flickr, pinterest and a blog.
****** IF YOU ARE APPLYING TO THE TEAM THERE IS A 1 WEEK TO 2 WEEK DELAY IN OUR RESPONSE. WE ARE SORRY FOR THE DELAY BUT WE ARE MAKING SURE EACH NEW SHOP IS WELCOMED TO THE TEAM AND HAS HELP LEARNING WHAT WE DO *******************************
1. You have to participate in a minimum of TWO activities per week which is approximately a 60 minutes for the week.
2. You must be willing to put in consistent effort into improving your shop. This can entail creating new product lines, listing more inventory, working on product photography, improving on keywords and placements of those keywords etc.
3. You must use social networking sites, and be willing to try new ones as we grow and evolve. No business will be successful OR stay successful if they become stagnant. So the sites we use will change and/or grow over time. Minimum requirements:
www.stumbleupon.com
www.twitter.com
www.flickr.com
Other optional networks (squidoo, digg, google buzz, kaboodle, Pinterest)
HIGHLY recommended: Facebook and kaboodle. Digg is great for the Blog activity.
4. You must post in our social networking thread all of your social networks so that we can follow each other.

5. You MUST sign up for our team newsletter.

This way even if a shop is on vacation we are able to make sure all members have the most up to date information. This will eliminate confusion when important changes are made. Anyone not signed up or that removes themselves from this newsletter will be removed. We won’t be spamming people only important updates will be sent out.
6. You must have a blog, or be willing to set up a blog within 2 weeks of joining. We also maintain a list of our shops on our blogs (on the main page of your blog). This is for critical back links to our shops, therefore a requirement.

8. Your favorites and teams must be public. You can't have them private since our team is about networking and cross promoting.
9. You can't be a member of a competiting promo team.
You can certainly promote your shop, and join general promotional teams. But teams that participate in the same activities and in organized systems like we do are not allowed. Any questions on which teams are ok and which aren't feel free to convo the team Captain or team leaders. There are only a few that would be against our rules.
10. You need to be in at least 500 circles to join.
