| > imo there are other ways to get students to crowdsource your content at no or low financial cost, just hustle (Yelp Elite). I've tried it all. I go to Pitt, and I had to hustle hard to get kids to answer there. Most people ignored me, and I had to keep following up to get like 5% of the people I asked to do it. I asked my friends, random people, people I just met, people I work with, play basketball with, at the dining halls, I made announcements in classes, put up flyers, handed out flyers, basically everything. Then the question is what to do for other schools. I tried asking everyone I know on Facebook, but very very few answered questions. I tried emailing club presidents and RA's at other schools to tell kids about it. I tried asking school administrators to help me out. Tried posting on Reddit. I tried paying a representative $50 to get answerers for his school (didn't work). Then I tried smaller amounts of money. I tried $5 for 50 questions + $100 bonus. Didn't work. Then $10 for 10 questions + the bonus. Didn't work. Finally, I tried $25 for 50 questions with no bonus... and it worked! So given all the things I've tried, I think that it's necessary. > (in which case, maybe ping Mike Kim to ask about his experience running Yollege.) Thanks for the tip! He seems like the perfect person to talk to! > i'd pick one thing and do it really well. I am - providing more comprehensive student reviews by asking a bunch of questions that currently aren't being asked. |
