Join the Bonanzle Action Club
Our community has proven time and time again that if we set our mind to a goal we can achieve anything. So when Mark and I sat down a few days ago to ask ourselves how we can keep up Bonanzle's momentum and continue to increase our buyer traffic, our first thought was the obvious one: get the community involved! Thus, the Bonanzle Action Club (BAC) was born! The BAC will consist of up to 50 of our most highly motivated, action-minded Bonanzlers who will work together with us toward weekly goals that will help Bonanzle burst through the atmosphere and into orbit (that's a good thing, trust me).
What Does It Take to Join?
Each week, every BAC member will be given one actionable objective to help Bonanzle grow. The task will never take more than 20 minutes of your time. Some examples of a BAC objective might include: post a comment about Bonanzle on a specific forum or blog; email a specific media person to tell them to feature the site; or Digg some article about the site. We will email you at the beginning of each week to let you know what the week's action objective is. The objective will also show up in the list of BAC objectives (accessible via "My Bonanzle"). When you complete the objective, you check it off your list, and your karma + Bonanzle cred increase a notch. We should be clear that joining the BAC is an important commitment. If you are considering signing up, you should be willing and ready to follow through on the objectives. We are limiting enrollment to 50 people, so that we only keep people on board who feel that Bonanzle is worth 15-20 minutes of their time per week.What's In It for YOU?
Plenty! First of all, the more traffic that Bonanzle gets, the more traffic your booth gets and the better the chances that you can make Bonanzle your permanent residence for buying and selling items. Secondly, members of the BAC will be given priority status for support requests and will have a higher say in prioritizing our objectives for Bonanzle. BAC members will also have a pretty slick avatar added to their profile to identify them as a BAC member (starting Friday). You can wear your BAC badge with honor, knowing that you have played a vital part in Bonanzle's growth. Buyers who see this badge will know that you are an integral (and probably trustable!) part of the Bonanzle community. Trust = Sales. Sales = Good.What Are You Waiting for?
You have already witnessed firsthand what we can accomplish in our community. Now imagine what happens when we channel that energy towards one goal each week to help drive traffic to the site. Operators are standing by! Go to "My Bonanzle" and click the new link near the bottom of the page that mentions the Bonanzle Action Club.<< Back

Thanks for the Great Idea, Bill and Mark!!

Where have I been! I just noticed this BAC! Well, I reckon I’m too late! What can a very small seller do to help? Let’s see, Craig’s List, Emails, Friends and Neighbors and it’s amazing how far Word of Mouth can go! Wow! I can do all that and maybe, just maybe, that BAC list will grow as we grow!
O.K. BACers! Keep up the good work and us little guys will do our part!
Bonanzle Rules!!!!!!!!!!!
Count the nightshift in here. I’m willing.
Darn…full up!!…well I am ready and willing if ever needed!!

plz let me in
Mary
Ready and willing and would love to join. Shucks..missed it..computer just had to go and crash. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Spent hours blogging Bonanzle yesterday and didnt know about this offer. Gosh am bummed out now as I even shut down my store on ebay and removed all my listings there as am a powerseller there.
I hit the high profile blogs that hit main stream media and not typical free blogs or posts. Such as hit ebay where it hurts on investor pages like google, yahoo, forbes, and places investors plus typical people that may peek here.
My focus has been buyers and even hit ebay post about this site as on top of it told my PS rep yesterday on the phone your boss is crazy John Donohue and that I was going to Bonanzle and she said good luck!
I signed up early yesterday and forgot to leave my note- but we’re in! RAH RAH RAH :)where do we pick up our pom poms?
Ready. Please enroll.
Amazing concept! I am in just wish spots were open lol! well I will be soon and you know what us that didn’t get in to the 50 can still promote just like I and many of us already our, use blogs, myspace, youtube, etc.. Go Bonanzle! we are going to be the next best thing!!!
Hi
I would love to join – I want this to go over the moon – to be the best and I will do what it takes to get there !!!!
Blessings to all
Pat
I am just now setting up my booth but I love everything I see about Bonanzle and would love to join if you still need anyone. I’ll have my booth up and running as soon as I decide on my custom categories.
This site has more promise than any I have looked into and I will be doing everything I can to get the word out whether I’m chosen or not. :o)
Ooops, I see I’m late. But, if you ever need a replacement, I’m here. I’m online almost 24/7 and I’ll always be glad to help do whatever I can.
If it’s not too late or if you are allowing more to join. I’d like to be in. If not, I’ll still try to do my part to promote wherever and however I can. Thanks!
Promote Bonanzle at your Post Office to advertise to local shippers. So many online sellers go to the post office, so it is a great way to promote.
The first time I read about an ebay boycott was on a flier at my local Post Office.
As a true SEO freak, I would be happy to help. Any spot openings?
I love everything about Bonanzle! Sign me up, I shall do my best, I promise!
Seems as though I am a day late and a dollar short. However If you decide to up the number of members or someone can’t fulfill their part I would be honored to join. I am retired and have plenty of time to do Bonanzle’s bidding. Having spent time in the service I understand how team work can help us all, by joining forces we can make Bonanzle a strong marketplace where we all call benefit. Or even if there are things you would like me to do just ask, we are all already part of the Bonanzle family. The kudo’s would be great, but helping each other is first.
Thank You and good luck to us all.

I’s be more than happy to help out too! I must have missed the blurb on this earlier.
Ahhh .. Too late to join, however I have tried to promote traffic by doing away with my business’ online catalog …. now when visitors go to the website & click to go to our online catalog it takes them to my Bonanzle Booth. I have also grabbed a Bonanzle banner and placed it on my website with a link. We are just a small shop in a small town and this is a great online venue for the “little guy”. I tell all my customers that come in about Bonanzle… ever little bit helps!
Too late for me as well. But will try my best to promote this site by sending emails to my loyal buyers and prospective buyers from the other site.
Cheers to all !
If you up the anty I’ll be in also. Just got back from vacation and missed this opportunity :( Please reconsider to take on more members.
I guess I am to late also and have been doing a lot of my own promotions from the day we signed up I also have over 16 new sellers that have joined that we invited through private email. if you add to the numbers please count us in
Thank you and will continue on promoting
I’d love to help too. I’ve already gave good review on a podcast interview with The Savvy Seller!
I’m ready to jump onboard. You know I certainly am putting my all into promoting Bonanzle. Any room for me now?

Well, I see there are other hopefuls ahead of me, but if you ever get down this far I would love to be a member. :-)
I’d love to help out here. Count me in! Are you sure 50 is enough?
Put me on the alternate list please.
Count me in! I am a media relations person and can help out in so many ways to market this site! I’m working on my contact at Harpo Productions re: Oprah’s show right now!
I’m In!!!!! My intution is in the near future we will overrun that other selling site that has been unfair to it;s sellers.Most of us have autos so I suggest a simple advertising ploy would be to put a bumper sticker or magnet on them reading BONANZLE.COM. I personally would purchase one.The profits should be posted on billboards accross the nation. I’m also willing to donate 10% of my profits to Bonanzle to promote this very unique selling alternative.
I will give it a shot as well!
If there is any opening still, I am more then willing and able….
If you need a second stringer, I am available and promise to obey the Girl Scout… oh wait, different club. Well, I’ll obey the Bonanzle rules. I love Bonanzle Woo HOO!
PC ( I hear Voices 45)
If anyone drops out of the 50. Do we get a chance to get in?
BONANZLE has given us a voice. I would welcome the opportunity to use it. Anything I can do please “COUNT ME IN”.
I would love to have a spot on the Bonanzle Action club!!
I’m just getting started here on Bonanzle. When the items I have left on e-Bay are over….NO MORE !
Bonanzle Rules….e-Bay Drools !
If you expand the BAC…I’m there for you !!
I want in! I am so THRILLED with this site! I am two weeks old on here, a transfer from eb. This is such a fun and refreshing site after all the rif raf out there. I love the enlightening attitude from Bonanzle and all the people on it. Way to go!!!! Yipeeeeeeeeee I love it!!!!!!
I would enjoy being considered for this rewarding user position.
If and when there comes an opening, please ask anything of me that would help you to determine if my placement on the BAC Team would be advantageous to all of Bonanzle.
Thanks
Would love to join, I’ve been trying to promote any way I can. I sent out 400 email invitations yesterday.

I’d like to add my name to that waiting list! Still trying to get my booth set up and items listed, but … looks like it’ll be a while here! This site is great, and there are so many suggestions listed here for ways ALL of us can help to spread the word about this site!

Terri

I would love to be put in. I really believe in what bonanzle stands for and I would love to help out.
I would love to be considered. I find this a very inviting place to buy and sell and would love to take part.
I want in, maybe it’s time to let a few more of us join…
This is the BeST club to have been created back in October 02, 2008. In order to continue creating ongoing mAx exposure, expanding the 50-limit on a quarterly or semi-annual basis by replenishing previous 50 with new members would allow a continual refreshment for continual exposure and growth. New memberships arrive daily with qualified knowledge varied within networking, etc bringing Bonz awareness worldwide…+hank you, MONTROSE (Feb 28, 2010)
Hey… got any openings yet?
Love Bonanzle and it’s people!!! ((happy huggz))
