The concept of Facebook sharing and re-tweeting and how it applies to Zenofon.

One of our goals with Zenofon is to be able to track all information that is spread on the web. When you find an article, video or a product that is interesting, you share it, either via FB, twitter, email etc.
Previously large media distribution companies such as record labels, TV stations, book publishers controlled the content. Nowadays, someone can make a video themselves put it up on Youtube or wherever and have the project go viral.
Almost as important as the person who created the concept, is the person who initially shares the concept with his friends and their friends etc. Facebook, which is the platform I feel most comfortable with, has started allowing people to track links by using a “shared by” feature. So when you share, from someone else’s link it shows that you saw it initially from them. Facebook does not go past the initial shared link, to say the person who shared it to the person who shared it with them, etc.
All of this sharing has financial repercussions. A story that is shared generates views and ad revenue. A product that is shared generates profit to the vendor. Zenofon’s concept, although just in infancy at this moment, allows you track the sharing of links indefinitely, with a system that fairly divides revenue back to the original sharer. Hopefully, we are able to expand our initial concept, which as of now, only sells telephony products, into the idea of sharing ideas as well.

18,902 Zenophytes – see picture below.

As of today, we have 18,902 people who signed up for Zenofon services. The breakdown of the referral levels is above. (There is a slight discrepancy between the 18,902 members and the 18,702 showing up in the above picture which represents people who signed up and had to be disabled due to abuse). Not all of these people are minutes purchasing customers, some of them just signed up and never tried the service, but they still show up in the picture.

Zenofon plans now to lower certain rates to certain destinations to generate more interest in the product. We still have to fix our sound quality to many destinations, but the underlying marketing idea, of tracking word of mouth referral forever, is fun and sound.

Zenofon has never advertised in a traditional manner. All I did was tell 73 friends about the business. From there it spread out thanks to everyone’s assistance. Zenofon’s, and my challenge as the president is to use this concept to grow exponentially within the phone business and into other products.

Latest Zenofon Stats – Almost 18,000 members

Zenofon currently has almost 18,000 members. Most of the members are clustered around the 7th level. We expect that to change as more people in the lower levels figure out how good Zenofon is.
We go 25 members deep. Thats incredible. Every single person who has joined, has joined based on a client referral.
Check out the stats below.

Zenofon adds commission history log.

As usual Zenofon is adding more and more features to make the site more user friendly and to help you refer more people.
Previously on Zenofon you could only check a total of your commissions, not the individual sums you earned. We have added the feature where you can check commissions individually. Hopefully soon you will be generating a new commission every 5-10 minutes as the Zenophyte below is now doing. See the screen shot below:

Zenofon has 15,484 members. Word of mouth referrals spread to 25 people away.

Zenofon grows by customer referrals only.
Sure we induce people to refer their friends by offering commissions, contests and coupons as incentives, never the less, we can honestly say we are strictly word of mouth based.
One of the advantages to doing business this way is we can track every single customer and determine who is responsible for a new customer joining Zenofon.
Additionally, we take pride in seeing how many levels of contact away new customers are from patient Zero, the original Zenophyte.
At this time Zenofon goes 25 degrees of seperation away from Patient Zero. That means A told B, told C, etc. One day it would be great if this number keeps increasing. Additionally, we have plans to add features to allow you to see more information about the people who join below you, while carefully protecting the privacy of those people.
The chart tracking Zenophytes away from Patient Zero is below:
deep 1 72 referrals
deep 2 252 referrals
