Question

Any ideas for an Owlbucks Giveaway? I know you all want some free owlbucks ;)

Answer 1

Past ideas:
- Social Media Challenge
Users promote OpenStudy on Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram) [3 raffle-styled-chosen winners, 1 creativity winner]
- Owlfred's Buddies Challenge
Users create spin offs of OpenStudy's mascot Owlfred [10 winners]

My not really free idea:
- Back to School Subscription Sale
Users who newly subscribes in the months of August and September would receive 30 owlbucks upon subscribing, then another 10 ob per every month they *stay* subscribed (for 6 months? - not forever - debatable)

Any other ideas are all welcome! :D (please)

Answer 2

Totally missed that Spin-off challenge :o

I'll think of something; in the meantime, could I get a link to the winner-announcing post?

Answer 3

An amazing idea:

That was proposed by the amazing @sleepyhead314 who has quit OpenStudy because she doesn't want to become green:

Users who ever reach 3000 medals and get the 3rd title get OwlBucks

Answer 4

right right - I can implement that myself
but I don't have an update on who is buying any titles and/or when they are

Answer 5

Paki is the closest to the 3rd History title, keep an eye on him ;)

Answer 6

In a flash of insight, I got a stupid idea!

Idea for Owlbuck Giveaway:
"The Literal Owlbuck Giveaway"
No explanation needed.

Answer 7

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Answer 8

been there, done that - Preetha had been giving out owlbucks for those who wanted it and had actual questions to ask

but why not let openstudy get something in return? :P

Answer 9

oh orrrrr
people can just fill a form for a raffle
(only apply once - any more and will be disqualified)
and once a week, there will be a draw and a random user will get 10 ob ?

Answer 10

keyword: "in return"
thought: "beneficial to both"
idea: "Symbiosis Project"
fill-in details: "..."

Answer 11

├┬┴┬┴┬┴┬┴┤Sorry, thought proccess hit a brick wall.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Let's think of some things that OpenStudyers can do for OS.

Sorry I have to go now, so a little help please?

Answer 16

There should actually be a luck draw once a week or day! Good Idea

Answer 17

That's going to be giving away too many owlbucks and OpenStudy will instead get more of a deficit. :p

Answer 18

@TheSmartOne OpenStudy will be getting more money if it goes as planned.
as in - I'm going to buy $50 worth of owlbucks and hand out 10 OB per week to random people :P

Answer 19

needs rules tho so I don't get spammed with desperate people
and so it goes to someone deserving - not someone that wants it for wanting's sake

Answer 20

$50 - 400 OB

10 OB given a week

you'll be giving OB away for 40 weeks lol

Answer 21

lol

Answer 22

People who do community work,for example : giving tutorials, greeting new users must also receive some owlbucks :P

Answer 23

@rvc we should call it owltips... xD
owltips should be 1 owlbuck or more at least. xD

Answer 24

yeah
best tutorial must be rewarded with some owlbucks lol

Answer 25

owltips jar! there should be a message like.... Would you like to donate 1 owlbuck to this user? The more owlbucks collected the closer to redeeming prizes for a recommendation letter or a volunteer certificate.

Answer 26

But, we should add a cash out paypal option. I mean 1 recommendation letter and 1 volunteer certificate is fine, but who wants the same item 10 times? That doesn't make sense.

Answer 27

25 owlbucks minimum to cash out .. which is like $5.
