4 easy steps to claim your shopping god crown at your favorite merchant

Do you buy frequently from a favorite merchant? Wanna be recognized as someone special at that merchant?  You can claim your  shopping god crown at your favorite merchant by sharing your purchases on ShopSocially.
Let’s say you buy frequently from Amazon.com and you want to claim the shopping god crown. Here is how you go about it.

Step 1. Check the current shopping god at the Amazon page on ShopSocially
You will receive the shopping god crown when you have shared more purchases than the current shopping god at Amazon.

Step 2. Make a list of all items you bought from Amazon.

Step 3. Share each purchase on ShopSocially by entering the product URL
Remember to fill Amazon in the merchant name box. This information is optional but required to claim your shopping god crown at Amazon. Continue to share purchases until you have surpassed the current shopping god.

Step 4. Visit the Amazon page on ShopSocially to verify your shopping god crown.
Also, check your own profile page on ShopSocially for your shopping god crown.

Its that simple! Remember, you can become a shopping god at any of the 5000+ merchants approved by ShopSocially. If you have purchased from a merchant that we have not yet approved, enter their name in the merchant box anyways. You will receive the shopping god crown after we approve that merchant. It usually takes 1-2 days to verify and approve a new merchant.

Beware! Keeping the shopping god crown is not easy. Another person might usurp your shopping god crown by sharing more purchases than you. So, be alert! Continue to share as many purchases from your favorite merchant as possible to retain your crown.

We are currently working to get some very cool rebates and discounts for shopping gods. Keep checking this blog for updates.

How to build a personal product catalog and share it with friends?

Wanna know what products your friends own? Wanna tell your friends what you own? With ShopSocially, you can build a personal catalog of products that you own.  Your friends can comment on your products and share their thoughts with you.
The easiest way to get started with your personal product catalog is to add things that you most commonly use.  You can then invite your friends to view and comment on items in your personal catalog.    

Of course, it is a perfectly good idea to add all kinds of things to your catalog. No need to limit your catalog only to the most commonly used items. Your friends may be interested all your special stuff too.

List out all the things that you own on a piece of paper. Then add the product to your personal catalog on ShopSocially by clicking on the Share a Purchase button.

Enter the product URL or product keywords to find the product.

Tell your friends your experience with the product. This will help them understand your thoughts on it.
Optionally, specify the merchant where you bought it and the price you paid for it. Your friends will thank you this information if they are in the market for a similar product.

Tell your friends about stuff that you own. Ask them to do the same. Try it! It is a liberating experience.

Check out my personal product catalog on ShopSocially. My catalog is evolving. Keep checking for updates. Tell me what you think.
