That's when I came up with HiHO, a new type of share button that allows users to share their favorite products for an instant reward like 10% off or free shipping #buildinpublicyoutu.be/Jc9qykPRauc
I didn't know what form this would take. Originally I thought it was a chrome extension similar to Honey. Then I thought it should be an app where you take pics of products and share for a reward. But then I focused on the share button #buildinpublic
My baseline idea was to create tool that allowed customers to share SMB's to their social media and receive an INSTANT reward. Unlike referral programs that hinge on someone else completing a purchase #buildinpublic

How can you you incentivize word-of-mouth? Referral programs only work so well and the share buttons on ecommerce sites never get used. Customers need more of an incentive #buildinpublic
I asked myself, what is the most valuable thing to an SMB? I came to the conclusion that word-of-mouth is a huge component to a successful SMB #buildinpublic
Early on in lockdown in 2020, small businesses were getting hosed. Brick & mortar was shut down, consumer buying habits shifted and a lot of SMB's had to shift online #buildinpublic
Came to twitter to share the genesis of a product that I've been working on that was created out of a desire to help small businesses compete #buildinpublic
