Visibli Let's You Monetize Your Blog Content & Shared Links

The new Visibli Toolbar allows you to brand and monetize your links on blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.The guys who own and operate Visibli look at things this way:

Online Accounts are more than virtual identities; they’re Assets!

Visibli helps large publishers and Brands like E! Online, Nike and Hollywood Celebs and small individual Tweeters like you and me to monetize our content and links.

Each site you link to shows a web-based bar, with your brand and message above the destination page. Visibli launched in May 2009 and has seen significant growth since then. Visibli is part of the Extreme University accelerator program.

There are 2 ways to share a link

• As a Bookmarklet
• As a Code Snippet

Using the Visibli Bookmarklet

As you surf the web and come across interesting articles, videos, web pages etc. you just click the Visibli Bookmarklet you dragged to your browser Links bar and select the icon you want to send it too (be it Twitter or Facebook or Both). I usually send the link to both, since my demographics of my Friends, Fans and Followers are pretty much the same.

When I send my monetized link to Twitter, I'm able to modify the text. I usually copy and paste the article headline and include this in the Visibli link, but you have to be careful not to go over the 140 character Twitter limit.

When I send the monetized link to Facebook, it automatically send the link with the meta data pulled right from the web page. As present, it defaults using the old "Assetize" logo as a thumbnail. You can uncheck the thumbnail box and send the link solo if you like. I'm still experimenting with this feature, so I can't say which one gets more clicks yet. I suspect the link with the logo thumbnail is more appealing to the user seeing the link on Facebook.

Using the Visibli Code Snippet

If you host a Word Press Blog and you've installed the header|footer plug-in, it takes about 10 seconds to insert the java script code snippet Visibli provides, once you sign up as a User/Publisher. I'll do a quick video on how to do this in a couple of days. Ping me, email me or call me and I'll walk you through this simple 3 step process.

Visibli lets' you customize your toolbar with a robust set of custom options.

Depending on if you want to grow your Twitter followers or promote a YouTube video or an affiliate program, you can tweak the toolbar to suit your needs.

On my current Visibli Toolbar, I chose to

• promote my Main Blog
• the Aaachoo! Social Network
• random 3d party Ads
• my Primary RSS feed

Visibli offers 4 Different Pricing Plans
