Would You Contribute to AssemblyTube if You Got a Benefit?

Free Club Membership = All Downloads for Free!
From the discussion below we have decided that each member contribution/post will be worth £1 towards Club Membership.
So the number of posts shown in your profile = the number of £ you have earned.
When you get to 24 posts you can claim free Club Membership worth £24, and can then download everything FREE.
So reply to posts and quickly get your Free Club Membership.




We have been trying to think of ways to reward members who contribute to AssemblyTube.
One idea is to give Club Membership free to members who contribute. This is currently worth £24.

Would you be likely to add input/comments/ideas to AssemblyTube if it gave you Club Membership and thereby the ability to download all the materials on our downloads pages? That's 150+ Assembly Downloads free instead of paying £24!

For example:
You could comment on one of the Assembly ideas.(like replying to this message)
You could add a new Assembly idea.
You could describe how you used an Assembly idea in your school.
You could upload an image of your Assembly.
You could add a correction to any of the content.
You could add a link to Assembly materials.

Good idea. I think it would encourage members to contribute.

How about a system whereby a post is worth £1.

When you have reached 24 posts you receive Club Membership.
It is easy to see how many posts you have written because this is recorded in your profile.
This means it would require no extra work for the site administrator as this data is being recorded all the time.
This data also automatically shows next to your name when you post.

Once a member has posted 24 times they will have earned their £24 to cover the Club Membership fee, and they could then request Club Membership via a personal message to Sara.

What do you think?

Hi DaveT. Thanks for the suggestion.
It sounds like a workable idea.
I wonder what other members think.
Perhaps we should run a poll to see whether members would welcome this way forward.

[DaveT]

A poll sounds like a good way forward Sara. 

[DaveT]

Another way to gauge feedback would be if members used the "likes" system, and clicked on the heart like icon if they agreed with the idea. If you don't get any likes then it's probably a non-runner.

[Sara]

In response to DaveT's suggestion, I have added a poll to the top of this thread.
Please take a moment to vote so that we can see what members feel. Thank you.

[Sara]

OK, let's go with it. Poll over.
£1 for every comment or idea as explained by DaveT.
Just look at your post total to see how many ££s you have accumulated.
Then cash these in for Club Downloads when you have a total of £24.

See my starting post above to see what constitutes a comment or idea.

Hi Sara,
I think this is a good idea.
If a member has existing posts, do these count towards the total of 24 needed for free Club Membership?
I see I have 14 posts  so am I over half way there?

[Sara]

Yes taylori, existing posts count towards free Club Membership.
By asking this question you are now up to 15 posts as you can see under your avatar.
Keep posting and you'll soon be there.

If you are already a Club Member because you have purchased the subscription, and you then gain a free Club subscription from posting, would you be able to transfer that free Club subscription to another member?

i.e. could they gift it?

[Sara]

Good question Piman.
If you already have a Club subscription and you gain another because you have made 24 posts, you can have your new extra subscription transferred to someone else, or you could use it to pay for your next year's Club subscription. Whichever you would prefer.
