Become an influencer with Smart Trip Platform
Smart Trip Platform aims to become the go-to resource for travelers to book all sorts of services: accommodation, tours, transportation, car rentals guides… But our platform is much more than that: it is also a lively community for travelers from across the world. In our ecosystem, it will be possible to make new friends, find travel buddies, ask for advice… And the best part is that your efforts will be rewarded!
We will offer a loyalty program to turn your booked trips and services into additional discounts, but today we want to talk about something different — our rating system. People like ratings and statuses, and those sites that implement such systems can expect better engagement. Think of all the resources where active users can become Gold members, Hero and Legendary members (like on Bitcointalk), gurus, experts… usually based on the amount of messages they posted or likes they collected. This is a powerful instrument of building engagement, and it motivates people to keep participating in the life of a community.
However, the existing travel resources that actually let you book services usually lack this incentive system. The most you can do is usually post a review or book a certain number of times, after which you get a higher status. For instance, Booking.com has Genius members, and on Hostelworld your status depends on how many reviews you have posted. This does work for some people who are really into writing reviews or if you use the system actively. But the system is definitely limited.
At Smart Trip Platform, we want to remove such limitations. We aim to include as many tools for engaging users as possible — and to let them benefit from using all of these tools. Thus, our system of ratings will span all these tools and features — so many things you can do on the platform will give you rating points! For instance:
- Writing a review
- Giving good advice in a chat room
- Providing a tested itinerary for others to use
- Editing a page about an attraction
- Becoming a chat room moderator
- Receiving positive reviews from others
- Winning in a competition
- Creating quality content for the platform.
For sure, there are many other ways of earning points that could be implemented — and we are relying on our users to brainstorm them! As the platform ecosystem grows, so will the number of features.
But what can users do with their ratings? First of all, they can enjoy the sense of achievement — indeed, not all incentives should be monetary! One’s status in the community and the associated respect are important, too. Second, ratings can unlock additional discounts once a certain level is reached, so there is material benefit, too. Third, users with a high rating will be invited to participate in arbitration, resolving conflicts on the platform, for which work they will be paid. Finally, as with any social network, Smart Trip Platform will eventually have its influencers — and being an influencer is highly lucrative. On YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook those users who have a large following eventually start receiving attractive offers from brands to produce sponsored content. We expect that the same will happen with Smart Trip Platform!
