LinkedIn Competition? 💰 Earn.com 📬

I am not sure how many of you had already some time to explore this network. Earn.com is basically something like "LinkedIn" I would say but implements a rewarding system for users feedback, replies and participation on specific and targeted (by other users) topics.

You will probably argue, that this is just another one... and I would have agreed with that when I initially signed up a few months ago... by then in fewer words, it was just a "pay to reply" system for me. And as an inevitable consequence, I gave up on it... due to time constraints.

Then a few days ago...

I decided to check it out and evaluate how things were doing. And to my surprise, I found a super growing platform, that I would never see possible in a simple "pay to reply" system. So, I got intrigued and decided to dig a bit more.

It was when I understood how the lists were attracting structured and more credible value in a network where the need for information is a priority.

Motivation

For example, if you know I am an adventurer in RC cars, and you desperately need to know something quickly, and you have a system where information quality has direct value, then why not to ask if it will be assumed that if you get a good quality answer, that will likely answer your needs? On top of that, the system will create an incentive for the "Inquirer" to ask detailed and well-constructed questions, otherwise, you are asking for dumb answers that you are paying for.

Other goodies...

Since it's being paid in Bitcoin, there is a lot of interest from the cryptocurrency world. So, it's an amazingly well-paid marketing network.

The Problem

As any social networks, there is always a problem... in this case, I see the curation of the value the main exploitable issue. It might become less attractive in the future, but for now, it looks likely to be an easy target for new cryptocurrencies and project developments that are not necessarily well curated. Making it all a less credible network.

Let's hope it does not go there right... so, here is my sharing initiative so you get enough motivation to do "well" there. Make it professional is my recommendation.

The Vision

If Earn.com is able to bring this platform forward and continue with its evolution, towards something that can grow in quality and not necessarily in numbers, then I think this can well be a tough competitor of Professional Platforms like LinkedIn.

I am now dedicating a bit more time to it, checking how the experience goes. If there is anything new that I find valuable, I will let you know. In any case, you are welcome to join it and explore on your own. If you wish to check it out and use my referral link (grants me 1$ in BTC) here is the link. Otherwise jump directly on the Earn.com website and give it a try.
