Automated Method To Match And Initiate Online Social Influencers

Abstract

A system and computer implemented method where Advertisers can request that a promotional Message, which can be manually crafted or an Automated Promotional Message from their computer systems, be promoted and distributed to users by Social Influencers in online social networks in a unique and novel manner. Without the need for Advertiser knowledge of, review or approval of the Social Influencers, the automated process receives the Message, determines the appropriate Social Influencers to promote the Message, obtains Social Influencer approval, automatically posts the Message to online social networks on behalf of the Social Influencers and manages the settlement of funds with the Advertiser.
