But I believe there would be a few possibilites for them :
- Pay extra to get feedback with people known as "experts" (UX/UI specialists), the "expert" would get and cut and so would them (this would provide a good incentive for people to leave in detail and high quality feedback). This is a win win for everyone
- If you get negative feedback, along the lines of "X needs fixed/changed/reworked", they could maybe teem up with oDesk or the likes (or do it themselves) to provide freelancers/experts to solve your issues
It's an interesting concept, it's not the most obvious thing to monetize, but it can be
Really good ideas, we do have a few more and will be implementing them starting sometime soon but our focus is anyway more on increasing the retention and the referral rate at this stage.
Experiments with revenue are very important too though.
What do you think? Should we do revenue right away or retention/viral aspects first? I sometimes have doubts about this.
At one point I believe the site had an option to buy more reviews. I don't know if it took off.
I was always curious how this would work - the system works because of the 1:1 ratio of reviews submitted/reviews received. If people can pay for reviews, someone else has to submit a review without another one being available for their site.
But I suppose you could always incentivize people to leave extra reviews, by awarding them credits, 'karma,' or even a little cash.
