Free cash! - Make money on the startup sales forum


So I started a forum and people flocked to the LinkedIn group in droves. They respond to the newsletter and sign up for my blog. What they have not done is start using the forum. So, as a sales motivator, I will employ my favorite behavior driving tolol…the CASH SPIFF!

So here goes:

$50 a month for the most active and relevant forum user.
$500 for user of the year.
$500 for voted fan favorite.

Starting in August and monthly until Decemnber

Monthly payouts by the tenth of the next month!
Annual payouts in January!

Join the forum here:

If you want to make some extra gas money, or break into January with a bit of cash to make up for the Xmas spending, then register on the forum and start posting good content. We can all grow together as sales trainers, sales leaders and learners.

    these start up companies have a very small chance of making it but the ones that do usually get bought out by bigger corps and they tend to do very well for themeselves and consumers of the product or service.

    No I have to say that sounds like an interesting idea. I wouldn’t want the incentives to cuase spamming from within to creep up but who knows.

    I think you should try to improve your forum design and probably drive more organic traffic into it, the contest exposure is low i guess, because there are very few posts on the forum since you have published the contest on August, Good Luck.

    interesting way of promoting a forum. I wish I had the money a few years back when I started mine.

    Maybe is too late for the user of the year, but will check out the forum.
    Is your initiative having the desired effect on the forum?

    Hi people,

    I recently registered to this forum salesblog.karlgoldfield.com and hope that you can
    give me an advice on the forex market - I am looking for an introduction
    for beginners. I have already some knowledge about shares. (Hope this is the adequate category.)

    Any help is so much appreciated. Most important question: can a noob make money on the forex exchange market?

    Thanks,
    Jim
