The electronic sales and marketing system of the preferred embodiments includes an algorithm stored on computer-readable medium and carried out by one or more networked computer devices, wherein the algorithm includes showing a post containing one or more of A) one or more products for sale, B) one or more services for sale, and C) one or more items for sale to a user; accessing information stored in computer-readable medium related to one or more additional user, if the first user one or more of: 1) designates that they feel positively about the post, 2) makes a purchase related to the contents of the post, and 3) rates or reviews the contents of the post; showing at least a portion of the contents of the post to the one or more additional users wherein the information related to the one or more other users at least one of I) suggests a social connection exists between the first user and the one or more other users, and II) shows that the first user and the one or more additional users have elected to be in at least one common group within the system, wherein the information additionally one or more of: i) suggests there may be at least one common interest between the first user and the one or more additional users, and ii) shows that the first user and the one or more additional users have stated that they have interests in at least one common area, wherein the method further comprises the ability to purchase through the electronic sales and marketing system one or more of A) one or more products for sale, B) one or more service for sale, and C) one or more items for sale to a user. The electronic sales and marketing system of the preferred embodiments has been designed to provide a viral social marketing platform that preferably encourages the spread of exposure for good products and products appreciated by users, rather than providing advertising exposure based on expenditure from the seller. The system of the preferred embodiments is further designed to show products or services to users based on the actions of other users socially connected to those users, and preferably shows products or services only to users that the system has information suggesting those users will be interested in those products or services, which is done to ensure that users see only products or services that they may be interested that are also supported by those they are socially connected to, and also to avoid showing users a large number of posts they do not have interest in. The electronic sales and marketing system of the preferred embodiments, however, may be used for any suitable purpose. |
