I’m about ready to launch my company (Placcess) that helps businesses manage their location based services’ profile on such websites as Foursquare, Gowalla and Facebook Places. With the rapid growth of location based services, businesses are going to have a tough time managing all of their different profiles. My company hopes to help restaurants, bars, retailers and any business where people “check in” using their mobile device. It allows them to log into one website and create a promotion or deal and have it population Foursquare and Gowalla (and eventually Facebook Places).

It’s totally free Location Based Services Software and the website is called Placcess (www.placcess.com) and feel free to leave me any comments or advice.

Thanks!

Scott

I stumbled up on this website last week, thanks to an article on Techcrunch. Let me tell you, I’ve never had so much fun with a website. Granted it only $5 a job and I’m getting paid way below minimum wage, but it’s turning into a great lead generation tool.

I have three offers available now:

  1. I will write 10 tweets about you in a week for $5
  2. I will write 5 comments with SEO backlinks to your site for $5
  3. I will answer 1 question on how to improve your online marketing efforts for $5

The site has become fairly popular the past few days and the servers have been really so. There have even been $5 offers from site visitors to help improve Fiverr’s servers, but hopefully the website will increase in popularity and increase their site bandwidth.

In a matter of 3 days, I’ve received 12 orders and I meeting a lot of great people that I normally wouldn’t have access to.

Check out Fiverr
