A Special Message To KGO Listeners
A Special Message To KGO Listeners, from KSCO Owner Michael Zwerling
PDF Print E-mail
"The abrupt firing of some of the finest talent in the talk radio industry by the new clueless corporate suits at KGO last Friday is an indication of two things:
1) their total disregard, no, make that CONTEMPT for both the talent and the listeners who made that station so special, and
2) their INCREDIBLE, Darwin-award-qualifying stupidity.
KSCO extends invitations to all displaced KGO hosts to come to a station owned and operated by HUMANS with good hearts, good souls, and diverse personalities and perspectives-- not by cold corporate weasels and bean counters.
One of those hosts, Dr. Bill Wattenburg, has graciously accepted our invitation; let's see what the others will do.
Join us on the next KSCO Special for a stimulating discussion of this unprecedented talk radio drama, possibly with some of the players in attendance, this Saturday 10 AM to 12 Noon, right here on still proudly a voice for everyone radio AM 1080 KSCO."

Cost Per Share
Click above image to start.
It is Fraud Safe!
We realize that the value of our social coupon platform is not just our patent-pending on increasing the value of offers the more they’re shared and amplified through consumers’ social networks. Rather, we also recognize that we must both protect our clients against fraud of all kinds by instituting industry best practices, as well as with innovate fraud prevention features that are uniquely enabled by our platform.
Below are those that are currently available as measures against different types of fraud. If you are aware of any best practices or new fraud prevention measures we have not yet implemented, pleased let us know at info@shareitup.com.
Click Fraud Prevention
Because the value of Share It Up! coupons increase based on the number of consumers who ‘share up’ an offer (the number of people to whom they share the offer is not relevant; only the sharer’s action of sharing is counted as one Share toward unlocking the next Value Tier), we need to protect against users trying to game the system by sharing up an offer multiple times.
Identity Validation
To prevent click fraud we first require that a consumer be signed into Facebook before she can share up an offer. Not only does this enable us to show the user his/her exact list of friends to make sharing on Facebook simple, this practice also allows our system to validate the consumer’s identity (based on their unique Facebook ID) and confirm his/her eligibility to share up an offer based on whether the user associated with the unique Facebook ID has already shared up the offer in question.
If the system determines that a user has already shared up a specific offer, s/he will see a notice that while s/he may share the offer with more friends, the value of the coupon will only increase if those friends (or their friends) share up the offer.
Could a user theoretically create multiple identities/accounts on Facebook in order to get around this obstacle? While they can create multiple accounts (so the system would recognize each subsequent account as eligible to share up an offer), our IP Address Validation helps further protect against this scenario.
IP Address Validation
Our system records the IP Address of the computer being used to share up an offer. So if a user were to create multiple Facebook accounts as noted above, the user would have to attempt sharing up the offer from a different computer or physical location for each Facebook account they want to share up the offer.
While this practice is certainly possible, the reward for the inconvenience of setting up multiple Facebook accounts, logging in and out of them, and doing so from different computers/locations is hardly worth the effort.
For example if a person were to go to all the trouble to create 5 or even 10 different Facebook accounts, and were to share up an offer from 5 or 10 different computers, the total fraudulent shares would be 4 or 9. Considering that unlocking upper Value Tiers may require tens, hundreds, or even thousands of shares, all the effort required to successfully circumvent these measures is trivial in its relative impact.
Redemption Fraud Prevention
A second area where fraud is a concern is around consumers’ ability to print multiple copies of a coupon on their home/office printers (or in the case of online offers reuse special promo codes multiple times), or to use digital editing tools to change the value or other attributes of a printed coupon. Either or both of these can dramatically impact redemption and budget forecasts. We are taking several measures t protect against these possibilities:
Watermarks
The value, offer details, and expiration date of each printed coupon overlay detailed watermarks are printed under printed coupon headline, sub-headline, and expiration makes tampering extremely difficult.
Personal Information Printed on Coupon
The consumer’s name is printed on the coupon so s/he can be ID’d at point of sale. Brands will also have the option of having the consumer’s Facebook profile picture also printed on the coupon.
Repeated Information
The value of each coupon is repeated around the border, making tampering more difficult.
Traceability
We capture the IP address and Facebook Account that created each individual coupon, so that if someone is able to falsify a coupon, it is traceable directly to them.
Per-User Print/Use Limits
You have the ability in the Share It Up! administration screen to restrict each user to a single print (or in the case of an online offer, to a single use of a redemption/promo code)
Total Print/Use Limits
You also have the ability to set the total number of coupons that may be printed (or redemption codes issued) to manage redemption. Once the limit you set has been reached, consumers will no longer have the ability to print or be provided with a redemption code.
Validation Data
Unique identification numbers and retailer instructions printed on the coupon allows validation of value, expiration, or previous redemption via the shareitup.com website or our automated phone system.

Why PeopleDeals?
Peopledeals offer huge discounts on products and services through partnerships with local merchants. PeopleDeals produce wonders for local small businesses that need foot traffic. Traditional online advertising isn’t nearly as effective as social buying platforms for getting people to visit local storefronts. For approximately the same price as a decent-sized online advertising campaign, a PeopleDeals site will feature your business’s deal offering on their website and notify local email subscribers. With many of these online services boasting readership in the millions, they can literally flood your store with hundreds to thousands of new customers within a single day or two. Moreover, PeopleDeals only charge you when sales are generated. So not only will this promotional tool earn a bucket load of cash flow and new customers for you, but you’ll only have to pay when real results are obtained for your business. A pay per sale model combined with a powerful distribution system, time-sensitive discounts, and social media based user referral incentives make PeopleDeals a hands down winner for most local business owners seeking to gain new customers and elevate sales.
1. Instantly acquire new customers
– For budding small businesses that are starved for clients, PeopleDeals are the most effective solution to acquiring new customers. Groupon and others like it can send you hoards of deal crazed consumers for you to convert into long-term customers. Your return on investment (ROI), in terms of getting new customer in the door, is unmatched compared to other advertising options.
2. Quickly generate cash flow
– PeopleDeals can generate sales in the tens of thousands for some business owners. If a merchant sold 10,000 vouchers at $10 each (50%), that’s $50,000 in cash flow that was raised in just a matter of a few days. No other advertising model rivals this cash injection flow into a business.
3. No upfront costs
– PeopleDeals utilize a Cost Per Share CPS) model to generate revenue which means business owners prepay only $50 minimum minus 40cents per sale/customer with 20% account replenishment reminder. Retrieve unused balance at anytime! In contrast to traditional cost per thousand impressions (CPM) or cost per click (CPC) advertising fees, a cost per sale charge ensures that you only pay when a sale is generated for your business. Barring unauthorized purchases or any refunds that buyers submit to the deal site, your advertising expenses produce real results in terms of customer acquisitions and the production of sales.
4. Measurable results
– Companies can spend millions of dollars on local radio, television, print, and online advertising campaigns and never see any clear increase in offline sales, let alone any change in traffic to their local stores. Vouchers require that the customers visit your storefront in order to redeem them. When they do this, you can easily track the profits and expenses for each voucher sale that’s generated. Before that however, you’ll already know exactly how many people received your deal offer in their inbox, how many people opened it, and the number of people that purchased it.
5. Increase offline visitor traffic
– Previously, the resources available to convert online sales into foot traffic for local store owners was limited to gift cards and simple coupons. The conversion rates of the latter are quite poor and without a discount, gift cards don’t fair much better when it comes to getting customers into stores. Social buying sites on the other hand represent a very efficient way for merchants to push traffic into local storefronts and acquire new customers.
6. Gain Facebook & Twitter followers
– People love businesses that offer deals to their customers and they’re more willing to hit that “Like” or “Follow” button on Facebook and Twitter because of it. Business owners have reported that their Facebook fans and Twitter followers have increased after being featured on PeopleDeals.
7. Minimal time commitment
– PeopleDeals do nearly everything for you. Your time commitment upfront is limited to gathering a few images and creating some text copy regarding the limitations of your deal offer. PeopleDeals employs nearly one hundred full-time writers to ensure your featured deal pops off the page and it creates quite a buzz for your establishment. In comparison, effective online advertising requires a much larger investment of time to create the ads, complete the necessary keyword research, and setup conversion tracking.
8. Incredible business exposure
– PeopleDeals have thousands of email subscribers and they get just as website visitors each month. They distribute your deal offering to local site members that then retweet and share your deal throughout the Web. Since you only pay when a sale is generated you’re essentially getting free advertising to boot and lots of more buzz for your business.
9. Highly desirable customer demographic
– The average user of PeopleDeals tend to be educated females with money to spend that are socially active both online and offline. If you’re a local business owner that utilizes PeopleDeals this means that those new customers possess a great potential to return to your establishment and share their experience with their friends.
10. Reduce your advertising budget
– The primary goal for advertising is to acquire new customers for your business. PeopleDeals is much more effective at this than traditional advertising channels. By redirecting your company’s advertising budget to offer a group deal via "Social Amplification" instead of traditional local ads allows you to spend less on advertising and still acquire more customers.
PeopleDeals vs Groupon
Groupon demands its merchants to cut retail price to 50% then collects the money and pay back the merchant one half and keeps the other half.
PeopleDeals allows the Merchant to decide on the initial discount and increment further discount* as customers share deals with their social networks bringing in more sales and still only charges a flat rate of 40 cents per share with maximum of 10 on going coupon campaigns or just a one time $599/life membeship(as long as the Merchant & PeopleDeals are in business)
