Going TNW Pro: A Smart Way To Make New Social Media Friends

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends. William Butler Yeats

 The Next Web (TNW)  is a terrific online publication that curates and shares the latest news on technology, business and culture. They have a global reach with about 7.2 million monthly visitors to their site. Visitors come to learn about the latest in internet technology and other hot button news.  So why am I telling you all this? Because TNW offers a great subscription with a fantastic gift attached to it. When you sign up, they offer you a one month free trial and then if you wish to continue, a one year subscription is only $30.

What is the gift? If you look at the frame above, there is a picture of me and my Twitter link. When you sign up with TNW, they offer you your own webpage on their site, and whenever you share a post from the site, your profile is attached and you increase your contact with others and the potential to make new friends. Typically, we send out a link with nothing more and others re-tweet, click or ignore it. With the byline, it draws attention and connections can be made.  How does this work?


Another Look at the Pro Member Image
I was curious how my Pro membership worked when I first read about it and so I explored further.  On their FAQ page, they provided the additional explanation below.

 How do I share as a Pro? Every post on TNW has share buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. When you are logged in as a Pro member (you can see if you are by checking the menu bar. If it is yellow and shows ‘PRO’ that means you are logged in) the share buttons contain custom URLs with your unique ID in them. They are shortened using our own tnw.to domain. When you use these sharing buttons to share to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn you are using the correct URL.

Each time your shared article is clicked on or re-shared your unique ID registers it. Of course, the more hot news we read and share the more others are exposed to it and TNW has a weekly update on the top 20 members who've shared newsy items. So give it a try. Funnily, I was reading another post from the site on 20 Ways to be Awesome on the internet and that post led me to this one. Two things that stood out for me on that post was: Be Useful and Love What you do. Would you be interested in learning about the other 18 points? The audio is below and it's a short and easy to hear recording. Go on, listen and then Go sign up on The Next Web and claim your Pro page.

  1. This is the first I've heard of this tool. I'm a little leery of paying for subscriptions, but depending on how many registered users the site has it might be worth it.

    1. You get the first month free and then the yearly subscription can be paid for each month at $3 or fully at $30. It's a global well regarded publication.
