WebWise Rewards (you won't believe what people will do for a t-shirt!)
One sure way to keep people submitting fresh and relevant content to your web community is to hook up a rewards system.
We created the WebWise Rewards program a few years ago and implemented it for some of our clients, and the results have been spectacular. Learn how to earn points, or how to hook up WebWise Rewards for your own website.
Since we implemented this program, our clients are getting more submissions, of higher quality, than ever before, and we immediately noticed a substantial increase in repeat submissions from some of our most skilled writers. The readers are the ultimate winners here. But the submitters win too. (And of course, you win, because your site gets richer and richer...)
Studies show that there are both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators that influence contributions to web communities. Extrinsic rewards are gifts, spiffs, and other tangible prizes. Intrinsic rewards are bragging rights, leader boards, Top Ten Contributors lists, reader ratings, etc.
The WebWise Rewards program provides both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators.
Contributors to WebWise Solutions websites can earn points for various kinds of contributions, and these points are redeemable for a wide range of gifts available through our WebWise Rewards catalog. That's the extrinsic part: you get cool stuff for posting articles on our sites.
The intrinsic motivators we've used for our clients include such things as author bylines, Top Contributors lists, special-edition t-shirts, and Author Pages that aggregate all contributions by a specific author (and show a bio and pic as well).
Check out the WebWise Rewards page to see this in action.
