How to promote content past the barriers of the self-built GG circlejerk

As we all know, the spreading of information has, partially due to blockbots, but also due to the very nature of GG, become difficult.

While spreading links on KiA, 8chan etc can help, it only goes so far. It only reaches those that are already here to listen.



Especially on Twitter, GG has become rather insular.

While OpSkynet has provided a tight net of followers and information spreads fast, it also only spreads to other GGers, failing to reach past this barrier.



To mitigate this, i suggest using Viral Content Marketing tools.

For example http://viralcontentbuzz.com/



This tool allows users to share articles they like from a list of articles in various segments (games being one of them)



For sharing said content, you receive points, a sort of currency, based on the amount of your followers



This currency can be used then, to promote your own articles, or posts, and get others to share them, so they can earn points themselves.



The interesting point here, is that people with no connection to GG are incentivized to share content we wish to see promoted, without having to invest in paid advertising like promoted twitter tweets.



Due to OpSkynet, we have a large amount of people with a substantial twitter following, which translates to a high point per share ratio



My suggestion is, to focus on the articles we wish to see promoted,by the most reputable sources (Im thinking Auerbach here or Kain for example) or even custom written blog posts of our own.



If you are a proponent of Airplay, this would be a way to promote it as well



Just some thoughts ...
