Bonus Program Coming Soon, Your Feedback Needed

Thu, 08/18/2011 - 08:09

We are implementing a bonus program and need your feedback. A small bonus ($5 to $10) will be paid to contributors who get a lot of their suggestions liked, but no picks yet. The idea behind this is to encourage new contributors, reward their efforts and to build trust. We are also considering bonus payment to those contributors who make most suggestions (provided they are good) in a short time period (most likely within 1 week). Please, tell us how you like this idea and what activities you believe should be rewarded (and how).

P.S. We've sent out first bonus payments, if you'd like to be considered for the next week's batch, please submit 10 suggestions to 10 different orders of your choice (100 suggestions total).

P.P.S. Bonus payments are made on top of regular contributor fees, so you get bonus AND picked suggestion fee (if your suggestion is picked).

I like It

I think the bonus is great! I've worked really hard my first week thinking of names. And even when I wasn't at my computer, I was still thinking of names for clients. Even trying to fall asleep at night, I was thinking of words. But so far, none of my names were picked. Thank you pickydomains for recognizing my efforts.

Bonus Program

Hi, I am new in 'Domainland' and have already made a lot of effort to make suggestions, something I love to do! My opinion about the bonus program is with a little criticism about the quantity of suggestions. It is easy to make a lot of suggestions but I don't think this will improve the quality. I can only speak for myself when I say that I try to come up with only 'good' ones as I don't want to waste other peoples time (and also not being taken seriously).
A bonus for ... likes would be more appropriate I think.

Kind regards,
Caroline

General remarks from a newcomer

1--I thing the "good" domain name must be defined
2--Consider additionally a bonus to a number of "likes". Here the quality of domain name has been defined by the customer.
3--I expect you to add some filtering choices in the available orders display. E.g only the "new" ones or ordered by creation date,etc.

Thanks

High rate of likes from one order

Some customers are great at offering feedback on suggestions quickly others are not. Why not reward those who have a high rate of likes from an individual customer. For example I submitted 21 suggestions to a client and received 14 likes. Others don't reply dragging the weekly avg of likes down. When are rewards handed out? Based on what criteria 10 suggestions for 10 customers or any breakdown of 100 suggestions.

suggestion quota

I was really surprised and delighted to get $5 for my like. And I agree that this does help encourage us to work harder at suggesting more domain names. However, I find the quota of 100 suggestions per week to be a bit high. It takes time and hard work to come up with catchy and quality names, plus the fact that there already a LOT of domain names registered. This might make others lazy when it comes to coming up with names, quantity over quality, so as to avail of the bonus. Just my two cents.

Sun, 08/19/2012 - 19:43 — aslan74426

Thank you

Like some of the comments before me, this has helped buoy my enthusiasm. I was submitting a lot of suggestions but then tapered off because I became discouraged. Today, I will end up working at it for a couple of hours because of the incentive.

Sun, 08/19/2012 - 16:35 — limitbreakers

WOW!

I have been giving a lot of suggestion to no avail. This bonus has come at right time for me. I was starting to feel a bit down but this has encouraged me to keep trying. Thanks a ton man!

bonus

This was a nice surprise. It certainly helps maintain the motivation to be creative. I've only been a member for a week, and while I've had more dislikes than likes, and no picks yet, it's nice to be rewarded for the effort. Thank you.

Bonus Program

I think the bonus program is great because realistically very few people actually get their ideas chosen, but to be successful as a website (and a business), you need as many contributers and ideas as possible to get the highest success rate. A small bonus to those who continue to put their time into trying their best is an excellent way of keeping them here and interested (this bonus you have just paid is a great encouragement to continue). I also think if you contribute 100 or more suggestions in a week you could perhaps be eligable to get say $1-2 per liked idea (paid to the first 10 likes for any available order). That way you know what you are paying out in bonuses, it is being paid to hard working contributers for good suggestions, it encourages a lot of hits earlier for an idea which should help the profile of pickydomains, and if a suggestion has very few likes it should encourage people to keep attempting to fill the order as bonuses are still available on top of the reward payment for the successful suggestion.

Great

It's cool. What are the critereas? How much likes should i collect and is this service automatic or manual?

Bonus

Hello.

I got a bonus 5 $ today, which actually very surprised me! My personal opinion is that atleast for people who make suggestions it is very encouraging, because when I joined this site I made a lot of suggestions, several were liked, but they weren't picked up, and after that my motivation to keep on suggesting went way down... But this programm would make us more active, if you would know that your effort pays up for sure! As for owners of this site, you would get more good suggestions for you customers, so i guess this is a win- win situation. Atleast that is my opinion, and I am gratefull for this bonus ! Thank you!

Sun, 04/15/2012 - 14:17 — lloydangelo1

Thank you Picky Domains

I just received the bonus, what a pleasant surprise!

I think it's a great idea to promote hard work and a nice way of showing appreciation to the contributors. I found out about Picky Domains a few months ago from a friend and have enjoyed contributing ever since. The idea of coming up with a name/domain for a company is really fun. I was lucky to have already helped someone, hopefully more in the future.

Fri, 03/02/2012 - 11:04 — martiinko

Wow :)

I was really suprised when the mail from paypal came... I was actually considering quiting the pickydomains, because I'm at 470th place and still no picked domain names :(. Thanks I will continue making suggestions.

I will double my effort now!

Great bonus program, I love PickyDomains!

Great bonus program!

Just by this small amount of cash, I have more trust on PickyDomains that they do really pay. Also the appreciation on my efforts trying to suggesting on orders (and liked but no picks yet) will bring me back and suggesting more but relevant according to the orders itself.

To be the truth I'm new contributor on PickyDomains (now rank #3 within about 2 weeks) and before I just test the site if it really work, and it did.

Also I like the idea to reward contributor that contribute most suggestions (provided they are good) in a short time period since by my nature I do bulk contributions on PickyDomains then I move on to my another web project.

PickyDomains! You have my trust and you do pay!

*I have suggestion that we should have a website link for each contributors (at-least rank #3 and below).

re bonus payment

Hi, I'm just new to all of this, however, I think any bonus whatsoever, paid to contributors, can only help to keep the artistic juices flowing. It can be very offputting if you have lots of suggestions liked but never chosen and still recieve no reward for all of your effort.
I've been hammering in loads of suggestions, had a few likes and I think i'm starting to get a feel for things.
Good luck everyone!!!

That's would be nice

That's would be nice. I think with these idea yo can attract more talents in domain names and develope site to more quality.keep on the way.

Client Required Action?

Does a client have to decide on an action on a suggestion? Like or dislike? ZOr could they simply choose to not act on a suggestion?

Thu, 11/10/2011 - 19:42 — itsme59

Client Action

Hi , Yes it's up to the client if they like or dislike, The client does not have to decide on suggestions. And lots of times they may just leave to not choose on the suggestions. I'ts hard to no why they don't like or dislike some suggestions. Just keep trying for more suggestions for that client or you can just leave what you have sumitted. And they might like/dislike your suggestions later. You just never know really.
