Recommendations
WORKSHOP:EPICLIST
1. Focus on your strongest platform (Facebook) to invest in building reach, engagement and actions.
2. Use Twitter as a secondary platform to get your story into #hashtag conversations with links back to site, app, and even FB.
3. Promote Instagram as a user content sharing component, with hashtag incentives.
4. Develop a Blogger Outreach effort to identify and connect with the most influential independent travel writers and enthusiasts, ideally those who accept guest articles (you or epic fans could submit) and those who will do product reviews.
WORKSHOP: CAMALOON.COM
WORKSHOP:CAMALOON.COM
Camaloon is a platform for design products such as wall decal, tshirts, stickers or buttons. Everyday products that make life a little sweeter. Our users either create their own products (with a design, logo, photo) or purchase a product designed by an artist, who in turn makes money by selling the artwork.
For now, we have not been able to use Social Media as an acquisition channel and are relying upon it as a means for loyalty. Our Social Media efforts reactivate already existing clients, support the buying decision, convey our brand message, serve as customer support channel, drive traffic to our blog and create a community of artists.
I would like to find a way to convert our Social Media visits at least in the 'design-selling' part of the platform. We have tried to do so with various Facebook Ad Tests, with Promotions, Contests and even Facebook Game apps but the results were not very promising. Our Social Media conversion rate is around 0.5% whereas the overall conversion rate for the site is around 2.2%. Most of the Social Media sourced conversions we get, were initiated by the artist (eg A tweet by the artists promoting his products published on Camaloon). Camaloon.com

WORKSHOP: KOOVE.CO
I am the co-founder of Koove.co. Koove is the Quora for discussions.
People, often, share their experience as comments at different places. e.g. Hacker News, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, TechCrunch, Mashable, and other blogs, articles or forums, mostly in their areas of interest.
However, the self life of even, a very useful comment, is only about 3-4 hours. After that, it is lost in the large data blackhole, called internet, forever.
We are building Koove. A quora like product, which preserves useful knowledge shared as comments, answers or discussions. These discussions can be shared and re-shared, and discovered better. Hence more people get access and engage with it.
Users can now discover great content, on topics of their interest. These content is not from a blog or magazine, but from people like us. Simple useful comment or views. Uncommon Knowledge, not generally found outside.
Our target customers are early adopters in different verticals. They are the people who are browsing across these places seeking knowledge. We want them to come to discover and read useful comments. We also want them to contribute and add useful comment to articles, posts and discussions of their interest.
