The eGoa network reaches a Million people

When it comes to the eGoa platform and the PartySoulz network, we constantly talk about "reach", what we mean by reach is how deep our "friends of friends" network goes or how many people we have directly or indirectly interacted with from the start.

Using,

  • Our own social networking platform, eGoa which has ~10K daily active users and about 80000 users have registered over time
  • Facebook developer api to analyze 50+ pages or groups owned by us
  • Twitter developers tools to analyze hashtag reach
We can identify unique people who have interacted with us across our properties, that number has just hit a million people. It's interesting what can be summarized with simple data.

eGoa and PartySoulz cross-branding is enabled

Since my team is now focused on E-Goa, I can understand the concern from people who have been using PartySoulz.com blog to promote their events, we had anticipated this concern and already have the features of PartySoulz.com on eGoa, infact eGoa extends PartySoulz functions by miles.

Earlier users had to request an admin to get their events listed and promoted via PartySoulz.com, on eGoa a user can directly "create an event", when an event is created, the content is relayed as a blog post onto partysoulz.com and across it's social media network automatically, this is done using the concept of APIs, this automatic tech-driven integration between eGoa and PartySoulz allows both to function as independent brands and provides more exposure for event promoters.

The motivation to launch E-Goa

In April I began a project soon after I got done with my final year BCA exams, I call it "E-Goa", I always wanted to build a social networking platform catered for Goa. I have bigger plans in the future so it's either now or never. People ask me Why? Well, Because I can! lol

On June 15 we will launch, we have the initial website up in beta mode and will go live at 2PM IST on egoa.co.in, egoa.in and e-goa.com to serve different global locations, a big thank you to all the devs and investors who made this possible.

The next order of business is to get a sales team to generate revenue to support the venture, here's a screen shot of the test mode version launched today.

Very Excited!
