Are you considering to write an article to Maxping or have you already done so? Read on, contributors will earn a piece of Maxping. It may mean hard cash for you in the future.
28th of December, 2009. Maxping has been in
operation now for 8 months. During this time we have received some
great contributions from writers all over the world. Now it is time
to give something back.
We made the magazine always with the intention of it becoming a
community focal point for people interested in Virtual worlds.
Because we are aiming at building an online community it is of
course vital that the community participates in the growth of the
magazine. To this end we have devised a system called "Liquid
Equity" which recognizes the contributions made by our readers.
Liquid Equity is a concept which we feel is unique in the community
publishing industry - reward your contributors with a share in the
magazine. The objective is to get people who wish to write articles
to contribute them to the magazine in exchange for a share in the
magazine.
At the end of each month we create a list of all the
contributors for that month. Each contributor earns Liquid Equity
based on the popularity of their contribution. Over time regular
contributors can build up their own "share" of the magazine.
So for example if you write a blog and feel that a piece may be
of interest to readers of maxping you can join the contributors
group and start posting it on Maxping. An important thing to note
is that we will not automatically aggregate blogs, the posts have
to be appear exclusive to maxping and be on the maxping system -
however you can of course continue to post on personal blogs as
long as the content appears at the same time as it does on maxping
- as many already have blogs this is a great way of getting some
recognition for the writing that you do.
In the event of the magazine making money, either through
advertsing, sponsorship or assuming it is successful a trade sale (
eg. The entire magazine is bought by another company ) contributors
will get real money based on the equity they have accrued at the
date of transaction. They will also get a say in how the magazine
grows.
You can start right now to build up your ownership of Maxping by
sending in your articles to maxping.magazine@gmail.com
Current contributors and their LE in Maxping points will be
published soon at Maxping.org! The list will be updated monthly
based on the contributions and their popularity.
Sneak peek of the LE list can be seen here.
