If You're So Smart... Why Don't You Prove It (And Make Some Money While You're At It)?
from the calling-all-experts... dept
It's been a little while since we've spoken about the Techdirt Insight Community service that we launched earlier this year. If you're not familiar with it, you can see a quick two minute video explaining what it is. It's been going great, as the experts in the community have been providing fantastic insight to all sorts of companies worldwide, helping those companies make important strategic decisions, filling in key knowledge gaps and or (in some cases) helping to validate certain ideas and plans. It's been a great way for some really smart folks to get companies to listen to their advice, to find out about the challenges facing companies in their space, to validate their insight... and also to make quite a bit of money for being smart.
Some of the open cases are displayed in a running ticker on the front page of Techdirt.com, but in case you haven't been watching, here are a few that recently opened where top insights can earn between $400 to $600 -- as well as validate your own insights into these areas. If you think you have the expertise to provide valuable insight to the companies presenting these cases, feel free to apply.
- Forecasting Trends In Digital Entertainment. Where is this important market heading? How will the economic trends play out? Who will be impacted and how?
- How To Index Multimedia Files For Fun And Profit. Help a company design its latest product by giving some advice on the current landscape for digital asset management offerings.
- Taking Jajah to the Next Level. Jajah's been getting plenty of attention this week for launching its Jajah buttons allowing any site to easily add a "click-to-call" option -- and for having that very same feature quickly banned on eBay who is apparently still grumpy over the Skype writedown. Now help Jajah continue to improve its product and marketing strategy.

So how much would a submission of "first" be worth?

Absolutely nothing. :) Or worse. Since it'll destroy your ratings in the system as well as harming your reputation with the company in question.

Hello
Can I stay anonymous and still apply ? I mean I have no problem with being in direct contact with Mike, but I don't want my real name on anything that might be published.

I have been running a multi-media tracking site for over a year now. It is hard work and a ton of fun. I am learning , and continue too, more about data base management than i ever imagined...and fuck I am writing spiders now.
But tell you for free ?
Hell no. It is a hobby and I have had to suffer the slings and arrows of people calling me a criminal.
So NO FUCKING WAY would I share my experience for free.

Did you read the details? It's not "free." It's an opportunity to get *paid* for your knowledge.
