@eriktorenberg What excites me most about Loot! is that it 1. leads with mobile and 2. focuses on content creation. Much like Wahooly, we give users compensation for simple social activities, but the approach is much different. Two of the bigger challenges with Wahooly were a lack of instant gratification (equity compensation vs. cash) and sustainable engagement. Loot! focuses on task oriented campaigns that are simple to accomplish and extremely valuable to the users/brands. I very much view it as Mechanical Turk for social tasks (memes, photos, social content creation, etc.) We're seeing a lot of potential in crowdsourcing really interesting content for publishers. For example, we ran a campaign recently that asked users to share a screen shot of their home screen. With 3,800 submissions, we can now analyze that data to determine what the most popular apps are by placement from a fairly substantial sample size. We'll be teaming up with publications to create stories using user-generated images/data. Helping with app downloads/engagement is another area of focus. We just partnered with NativeX, which will be launching in the next couple of days. Overall, whether it's a startup or fortune 500, there is a potential use/application for our product.

How does this work in terms of cost vs. profit? What do the advertisers have to pay for every social task? If Loot pays .75 how much does it cost advertiser? Even at 40% it's pretty steep for an interaction?

Real Talk With Carlos Gil Episode 7 – What’s Next For Social Media Storytelling

@johnnyquachy thanks for the question Johnny. It depends on volume and type of action but we start out charging $1.50 per action. It's actually significantly cheaper and more effective than any ad on Fb, Twitter, etc.

@nicholassheriff thanks for signing up! I am the COO at Loot and can help get this resolved for you. I see that your campaign was created successfully and it's strange that you go redirected to signup screen. Can you try logging in and seeing if the campaign is in your Drafts?

@nicholassheriff could you please tell us what we could do better in the campaign creation process? We always love getting feedback (especially since we just pushed this 2.0 version a few weeks ago). Your campaign is live in the app and we will do a free push notification for you to get it really going if you would like!

@maxwellfinn thanks so much Max actually my first campaign ugh I screwed up redirected users to freestarbucks.org lmaooo when the domain is freestarbucks.co at that point I looked everywhere for a resubmit & pause campaign but I didn't see that options so I removed the campaign but do I still get charged the full amount or is it only for what has been sent?

@nicholassheriff I am sorry you had an issue stopping the campaign. On the individual campaign page their is actually a "Delete/stop campaign" button for future reference. We only charge on a per action basis, so if no actions are completed we don't charge anything. Maybe we should hop on the phone at some point to talk through your campaign. We can add an extra $50 to your budget as a bonus to brands signing up from PH. Want to shoot me an email at max@loot-app.com to discuss in more detail?
