StudyBlue.com's Fall 2009 Reward Program

StudyBlue's Royal Blue Program

Royal Blue Program gives users that use quality files to give crowns to the student that uploaded the file. Everyone can see the number of crowns you have earned and will show your royal status. There is also a leaderboard for your school and the entire StudyBlue.com network. The crowns are different for the number of users that find the quality files valuable. The student earns 1 crown for every 3 users that find the quality file valuable [3 or 4 stars] . Crown chart shows different crowns for 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, and 500. The top 3 students in each school earn $100 at the end of the semester.

Fall 2009 Jump Start Rewards Program

Incentive for students to share study material and invite friends to the site. The limit for each student this semester is 300 dollars. There is a weekly limit on the amount of money the school users can earn, so at the end of the week the amount of money in the weekly cash pot is low. For every 3 classmates giving positive rating [3 or 4 stars] or earning 1 crown gives $0.50. An online that has auto-generated flashcard decks earns double bonus. There is a limit to the number of bonus per note or deck, which is 2 Bonuses. No content limit. Referrals for classmates earn you $1.00, but an extra $1.00 is also given if the classmate converts to Premium Services within 48 hours. Invite friends using your code through flyers and email. The balance can be cashed out when the student reaches $25.00 and it takes up to 15 business days for completion of Paypal transfer.

There are specific criteria for both programs:
1. Must attend one of these schools:
Arizona State University – Tempe, Belmont University, Brown University, Cornell University, Duke University, Illinois State University, Iowa State University, Marquette University, Michigan State University, Middle Tennessee State University, Ohio State University – All Campuses, Rutgers University – New Brunswick/Piscataway, Stanford University, Tennessee State University, University of Alabama – Tuscaloosa, University of Georgia,  University of Iowa, University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, University of Tennessee – Chattanooga, University of Tennessee – Knoxville, University of Virginia, University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, Vanderbilt University, University of California – Berkeley, University of Washington – Seattle Campus, Pennsylvania State University – All Campuses, University of Arizona, Texas Tech University, University of Colorado-Boulder, Kansas State University, Syracuse University

2. Positive rating from a classmate. What's a classmate defined by:
A. User enrolled in same school as the student receiving rating.
B. User enrolled in the course the quality file is part of.
C. User has to have the same course in the StudyBlue.com profile when he or she rates the file.
D. The rating must be the first and only for the user for that file.

Isleptthroughclass.com Transfers Users to Wisecampus.com with VIP Program

Isleptthroughclass.com is finished as every user is being transfered to wisecampus.com.

Wisecampus.com has a VIP program for students that pay an annual fee of $9.95 to get special features and better recognition to the staff and classmates. VIP program has a reward catalog giving special amount of points for paypal transfers. (Probably lower points compared to regular members) VIP members have unlimited note requests, complete access and ability to get email alerts for notes.

I think the idea toward paying programs is the result of the slow economy and price of ads being down. Small ads can't pay for big sites like these, so no more big rewards for notes. I think this is going to lead to users leaving the site for better note sharing websites.
