 | Why do we want you to write for us? |
 | We want to know your opinions and stories about certain things in order to improve the depth of information on the internet. We want to reduce the "net noise" and give people important information when they need it, instead of running through site after site of useless junk aimed at selling something. |
|
| Who judges the entries? |
| We inspect each entry for grammatical errors, spelling errors, offensive language, and might give entries a hand-check if needed. |
|
| Does submission quality help or hurt my chances of winning? |
| Every entry that passes our grammatical, spelling and profanity checks will be given an equal chance at winning a prize. You don't have to be the best writer in the world to win, but please keep entries clean. |
|
| What are the points for on YouSaid.com? |
| The points system on YouSaid.com is to help you get credit for your hard work even if you don't win a prize. We appreciate all your submission and we want to make sure you get something for them! |
|
| What do you get for points? |
| You can cash in your points for any of our great prizes. Save them up until you have enough and then just let us know which prize you want us to send you! |
|
| Do points expire? |
| Yes. You have 24 months to use them. |
|
| How many points can I save up? |
| You may save up to 100,000 points in your account, but after that you won't get any more points. Better to cash them in for prizes. |
|
| How much are points worth? |
| Points are worth a penny each. It makes easier math for us. |
|
| How can you get more points? |
| Submit more content. Pretty simple, huh? |
|
| How do you know how many points you have? |
| Your point total will display on the left side of the screen when you are logged in. |
|
| I just made a contribution, why didn't my point count increase? |
| When you make a submission your new points are in a "pending" status. We've got to make sure that you made a good entry before we'll give you points. |
|
| How many times can you enter? |
| You can enter as many times as you want as long as the entries pass the quality checks. Each entry increases your chances of winning a prize. |
|
| What happens to the content that's submitted? |
| It may be used where appropriate to help website visitors make informed decisions about different topics. There is so much junk on the internet now and we are trying to help people get the truth about subjects, instead of what some website designer wants to spin as the truth. |
|
| What's the catch? |
| There is no catch. No membership fees. No offers to complete. You don't have to do anything but write. |
|
| How many offers do you have to complete to win? |
| You don't have to complete any offers to win. Just submit some content and that's it. |
|
| How are winners selected? |
| Winners are selected randomly. We do reserve the right to not award prizes if the submission was completely off-topic or offensive. |
|
| How are prizes delivered? |
| We'll deliver electronic prizes to the email address you supply. If you win a prize that needs to be shipped, we will contact you to confirm your shipping information. Remember though, if your prize gets lost in the mail, we aren't responsible. Make sure your roommate doesn't get to it first! |
|
| Why should you refer your friends? |
| Each friend you refer who submits an article will increase your chances of winning a prize. If you refer 10 friends and they each submit, you have 10 more chances to win! |
|
| Will you ever see the entries that you submitted? |
| Most likely not, unless they happen to show up on an informative site. |
|
| Why do we ask your age? |
| Because you have to be 18 years old or older to participate in our contests. |
|
| What if you don't see the email telling you that you won? |
| Email notification is our only way to let you know that you won something. Don't forget to update your profile if your email address changes. |
|
| Why do YouSaid.com newsletters come from info@mainlevel.com? |
| We have contracted MainLevel to manage our email list. Don't worry, we have an agreement with them so they won't sell or rent your email address to any 3rd party for spam. You will only receive YouSaid.com newsletters from MainLevel and YouSaid.com. |
|
| What happens if I click "Submit as is"? |
| The entry still goes into our system and is marked for additional review before we can give you a chance to win a prize. We'll make sure we look at it before we award prizes so you'll get a fair shot if your submission was wrongly flagged by the system. |
|
| Do I have to enter to win? |
| Yeah you do. Get your butt to work! |
