Mapper 10 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I run a web site called Backcountry Secrets (http://www.backcountrysecrets.com). The idea of the site is to get people to share points of places to hike, bike, canoe, swim, etc. The problem I am running into is that everyone who visits the site only consumes, no one shares. I have considered doing competitions for prizes. For example person with the most submitted points over a specified time wins something. I've also considered doing something like, "Next 20 people to submit 50 points gets a $25 Applebee's gift card." Do you have any suggestions for me as to a campaign that may also help? Also, if I do the competition for prizes, what types of prizes (under $100) would you be interested in? Link to post Share on other sites
GernBlansten 10 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Why would I want to publish my favorite, most precious, pristine hiking sites to a bunch of anonymous people? Self defeating. Link to post Share on other sites
Mapper 10 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Cause it would be "helpful, friendly, courteous, kind" to people in your area who would also like to enjoy the outdoors. Link to post Share on other sites
