Maxping launches novel equity program to contributors

Edited by: Jani Pirkola


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.
