Important Links for Incentive Program: Incentive program| Terms of the Incentive Program
Revised Date: June 11, 2010
The Allvoices Incentive Program is valid between March 01, 2010 and December 31, 2010.
The Allvoices Build Your Brand Incentive Payment Program is an online initiative for contributors from all over the world to earn extra cash for reporting news (text, images and videos) and opinion on Allvoices.
The incentive program is designed for writers, journalists, bloggers, students, photographers, video makers and citizen reporters who use the Allvoices platform to build a personal or professional brand including a completed profile, a news report portfolio and a global fan base by connecting with existing users, inviting others to join and promoting their contributions outside of Allvoices.
Contributors who participate between March 01, 2010 and December 31, 2010 can earn cash when they achieve status milestones depending on the quality and strength of their contributions and the level of their activity.
There are three levels of reputation/brand on Allvoices, which indicates your overall Reputation as a contributor on Allvoices. These levels are based upon the reputation and credibility of your reports, but the Reputation level is not used to qualify for cash rewards under the Allvoices Incentive Program (see How do I make money? section, below).
Contributors start at the Stringer level, and then move to the Reporter level, and work your way up to an Anchor. The pace at which you move depends on how much you engage with the Allvoices community, increase your popularity, build your reputation, and contribute and promote your original content.
Stringer:
You are starting out and are in the process of building your reputation and influence on Allvoices. You have tremendous potential if you leverage the Allvoices platform.
Reporter:
You are promoted to the Reporter level if you have demonstrated an increasing level of influence over your social network and have a sizeable and growing fan base. In addition, the community must rate your content favorably, demonstrating a respect for your point of view. To be a reporter, the last 5-7 contributed reports must have full credibility rating.
Anchor:
You are promoted to Anchor if you are an experienced writer vetted by Allvoices or have risen through the ranks from Stringer to Reporter to Anchor. To achieve Anchor status, your last 15 reports must be published with full credibility, you have no copyright violations, and you are well regarded by the community based on their rating of your content.
Your Score is used to determine how much you will get paid at the end of every month.
| Your Score At End of Month | You get paid $ per 1000 page views |
|---|---|
| Payment is Based Upon Monthly Activity: | |
| 50 or Above and Under 65 | $1.50 |
| 65 or Above and Under 90 | $2.50 |
| 90 or Above | $3.00 |
Your Score is the sum of your:
Your Score is calculated every day. You can find Your Score on your user profile page by clicking on the Reporter Metrics tab. Your Score at the end of every month determines whether you qualify for cash rewards under the Allvoices Incentive Program and what the payment rate will be for the page views accrued for that month only.
Most scores are related to how many articles you write, the quality of your content, and how you promote your contributions on Facebook and Twitter. The individual scores and activities that contribute to them are all interconnected to give you the highest possible scores while at the same time promoting your brand and Allvoices.
The following table shows the activities required to reach each of the three different incentive payment rates. Below the table are more details on how to use these activities to maximize your incentive earnings.
| Activities that Contribute to Your Score | $1.50 per 1000 page views (based on Your Score) | $2.50 per 1000 page views (based on Your Score) | $3.00 per 1000 page views (based on Your Score) |

The Reputation Score makes up 35% of the total of Your Score and is derived from the average credibility rating your reports achieve over a period of time. Once you achieve a certain reputation, the Reputation Score is a constant and will only change if you do a copyright violation or you are flagged by our community. Please note that if you are an Anchor, your reports get full credibility instantly, which results in a maximum Reputation Score for 35% of Your Score for the month.
The Participation Score makes up 50% of the total of Your Score and is a monthly score derived from your participation on Allvoices. Participation includes, writing reports, uploading images and videos, commenting, and rating. At the beginning of every month, you will start with a score of 10 if your profile has been completed and the score will increase over the month based on activity.
The score is affected by:
Note: Expect your Participation Score to be low at the beginning of each new month and you will have the entire month to raise your score for maximum incentive rewards at the end of the month. If you decide not to participate one month, your reputation stays the same and you can make money once you start participating.
The Promotion Score makes up 15% of the total of Your Score and is based upon your activity marketing your content outside of Allvoices. At the beginning of every month, you will start with a score if you have setup a Twitter account on your profile for automatic tweets of your content. To maximize this score, tweet and Facebook every one of your posts, which is as easy as clicking Tweet This and the Facebook button at the bottom of each report.
How to increase your score:
Note: Expect your Promotion Score to be low at the beginning of each new month and you will have the entire month to raise your score for maximum incentive rewards at the end of the month.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Note: All the incentive rewards are calculated on the last day of every calendar month at 23:59:59 PST/PDT and you are paid based upon Your Score at month’s end (i.e. if Your Score is 65, you will be paid $2.50 per 1000 page views generated during that month). You will only be paid if you reach $100 and then paid in increments of $100.
Once you get paid, the next month will start with any payment balance over the $100 payment and earnings will continue to accrue until you reach the next $100. You will be able to track Your Score on the Reporter Metrics tab on your Allvoices user profile page.
Examples:
If Your Score at the end of June is 64 and your page views are 75,000, you qualify at the payment rate of $1.50 per 1000 page views, so your incentive earnings for June is $112.50. Since payments are made in $100 increments, you will be paid $100 for June incentive earnings and the $12.50 earnings balance will be carried forward and apply to the next $100 payment.
If Your Score at the end of July is 64 and your page views are 60,000, you qualify at the payment rate of $1.50 per 1000 page views, so your incentive earnings for July is $90.00 and the carry-forward balance of $12.50 from June earnings will be added to the $90.00 earned in July, for a total of $102.50, so you will receive a payment of $100 and the $2.50 earnings balance will be carried forward and apply to the next $100 payment, and so on for every month.
