In today’s article I’m going to review a social traffic exchange website called Likestool.com
What is Likestool?
Likestool is a website that offers social media engagement services, allowing users gain more likes, followers, views, plays, shares, repins, friends and more on various social platforms.
The website provides a range of services for popular social media networks, such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, Pinterest, Dailymotion, Vkontakte, Vimeo, Myspace, Reverbnation, Ask.fm and Website Hits/Traffic.
This is how the earn free credits area looks like on Likestool. You just click on any of the arrows to expand the category, and you will see the options you can use to earn credits under that category, such as:
By clicking on any of the options, it will take you to a page where you can do actions in order to collect coins.
How do I get more coins?
You can get coins by liking and following and viewing other peoples social media pages and posts. This is the entire premise on how the website works – exchanging clicks with other people. After you’ve collected some coins, you can add your own social media pages in the system, and offer those coins for other people to collect by liking and following your pages, posts and videos. Registering on the website, collecting points and using the website in its entirety is completely free, which is great.
Another method you can use to get more coins is by getting referrals. The website has a two-level referral system, and you will get a reward at a rate of 10% of the coins earned by first level referrals (your direct referrals) and 5% of coins earned by second level referrals (referrals of your direct referrals).
There is also a Daily Bonus page on the site, where after you’ve done 50 clicks in one day, you can collect a daily bonus. I’m not entirely sure how many coins you can get from the daily bonus, but it’s a few hundred points for sure. And this is available every day 😉
If you would like to get coins faster, without having to do any actions/clicks with your social media accounts, you can always buy them. Likestool accepts Paypal and Debit/Credit cards for buying coins. This is actually pretty rare for these types of websites, as most of them stick to cryptocurrencies and other less popular methods for accepting payments… mainly because taking payments with Paypal and debit/credit cards can be next to impossible for these types of websites, as this type of social media exchanging is a bit of a high risk business for the payment processors, so they tend to not allow it.
Pros and Cons
The pros are that the website is completely free to use, and that it has been around for many years, which means it’s not very likely to disappear tomorrow, and it has a substantial user base. Also the fact that they accept Paypal and debit/credit cards for buying coins is very convenient.
The cons are that some of the categories are broken, so they don’t work at the moment. Most categories work fine, but a few do not. Sometimes categories stop working because of updates on the social media sites. Likestool eventually fixes it, but any category could not work at any given time. Another bad thing is that many of the categories are kinda dead, meaning, even when you add a page in the system, you will get very few interactions on it.
Considering the cons here, my advice for new users would be to first collect some points manually and test the categories that you’re interested in. If they are giving you a satisfactory number of clicks, then you can collect more points and/or buy them.
Here is a video I made talking about this:
Summary
In conclusion, Likestool.com is a good and established social media exchange site that is worth checking out. I’ve been using it for years, and I never had any problems with it. It doesn’t always get me a lot of clicks, depending on the category I am trying to get clicks from, but all in all it’s worth it.
