Question

Competition Idea - We Need You!!!


Hey people of Exceem.

Our sites are coming on very nicely so we feel it is time to begin a new competition. I'm personally a fan of skill based competitions as it means that it is not just luck as to who wins. I have come up with an idea that needs the best of the best to come and prove themselves in a referral race showdown.

The competition:

You and 9 other Exceem members will have one month to collect as many referrals as possible.

To make it worth while the winner will steal the comission from the other participants. Take an example:

Exceem member 1 - 30 refers
Exceem member 2 - 26
Exceem member 3 - 24
Exceem member 4 - 22
Exceem member 5 - 20
Exceem member 6 - 17
Exceem member 7 - 13
Exceem member 8 - 7
Exceem member 9 - 5
Exceem member 10 - 2

Winner - Exceem member 1

This would add up to 166 refers. The winner, Exceem member 1 will get the comission provided from these 166 refers. This means that for 30 refers, the winner would get a prize of £2000 for example. This seems well worth it for 30 refers.

This is just an idea. Would like to see what you think before we think about arranging it. We would update the status of the competitors every week.

Of course the referrals collected may be higher or lower so you may get something like £1k for 20 refers.

This may be a rubbish competition idea, but I am just brainstorming ideas and this is one of them. I think this would be rather exciting and also a MASSIVE amount of money could be given away

Re: Competition Idea - We Need You!!!


Sounds interesting, but how will it work?

Will you need a seperate account? Or use your current account and still work towards a gift?

I don't like the idea of getting 20 referrals say and the winner having 21 and I get nothing for my trouble?

Will all participants still get gifts for the referrals they make, in which case, I can't see how you will make money?

Or am I missing the point lol

Re: Competition Idea - We Need You!!!


The idea was that the winner takes all.

It would be a separate account and you can only use it for this competition.

As I say this is just an idea and may or may not get enough interest to be carried out

I just know that some people think that they are the best way of getting referrals so it would be interesting to see how good people really are! :P

Back to the drawing board.

Yeah. This would only go ahead if we had at least 5 willing exceem members.

If this doesn't go to plan expect other competition ideas

Re: Competition Idea - We Need You!!!


what if you split it 50/50 so you still got half credit for every ref you got, and the other half went into the kitty?
