Shoutwire is a community through which its members can add to the website, things which they have seen on the internet and were interested in, and they want to share this information with other people.
In order to do this, you must be a registered user on the website, registering is very easy, also you will be required to download a toolbar that you will use to share whatever you wish with others.
The Shoutwire style imitates digg somewhat, but with the difference that here what is commonplace is finding articles, pictures and videos, for pure fun and entertainment, even though various topics such as politics, science, technology, and health are also covered. The main thing you will find however is entertainment.
Another aspect worth noting is the freedom that is allowed on this site, because it is very common to find explicit content such as suggestive and nude images.
Format
I have mentioned that it is similar to digg, another similarity is the way in which other people can access the content which you have posted, for them to place you on the homepage, your articles, pictures and videos must have a certain score, and since it is very complicated to have access to the new content, it is very common to see the same content posted for days and even weeks.
Besides this, you can also become one of the writers and appear on the editorial section, to do this you must get in contact with them.
Everything that is on Shoutwire can be commented, if you are a member of course, otherwise sometimes you will not be able to even read the article or see the images and videos.
Another very interesting thing about this social network is the range of their public, which they themselves state is composed of 71% men, also the average age as can be seen on the image.
Users of shoutwire
Does Shoutwire work as a Marketing tool?
It’s relative, if you promote yourself they will remove your account, also links cannot be included in the comments, maybe uploading images and content related to your business will help, but once again we go to the point that it is very difficult to find them, and also since most comments need to be given a score by other users, leaving a comment with the purpose of promoting yourself will get you scored with a 3 (garbage).
Advertising on Shoutwire: Now, you do have the possibility of advertising yourself on the website by paying for it, and the prices go from $400 dollars per week for a simple link of 25 characters, up to $1200 dollars per week for a 780×90 banner. There are very few of these…Is it maybe because the service is too expensive?
Shoutwire is one more option of sharing those interesting things that we see on the internet every day.
It might be possible that some other way of advertising through Shoutwire has eluded us, if you happen to know, then please share it.
