Hello WriteBite users,

Glad to see that some of you are still with us!

It’s been a while since we announced the temporary suspension of the Cash For Rants contest. Since then, we’ve been working (admittedly on and off) to improve the contest and the site design.

Here are some of the ideas we have for WriteBite 2.0:

• Rant themes: Each week, WriteBite will announce a certain rant theme that users’ rants will adhere to.
• Voting for weekly themes: Possible rant themes for the following week will be posted in advance by WriteBite and voted on by users. Users will have a large say in choosing the following week’s rant theme.
• Rant-by-Rant moderation: WriteBite editors will review all rants before they are published on the site. Rants must be unique, interesting, and on-topic with the week’s theme in order to be accepted.
• Encourage use of images: All rants should have at least one relevant image (preferably near the top). Editors may add or edit images before a rant is accepted and published.
• Increased weekly cash prizes: The monthly cash prize budget will increase by almost 10%, from $220 to $240. The #1 winner, based on user votes, will receive $30, #2 will get $20, and #3 will get $10.
• Give away extra prizes along with cash: Some weeks, sponsors will “sponsor” our rant contest by giving away extra prizes or coupons to contest winners. In return, we will run advertisements on WriteBite for these sponsors.

If you would like to suggest a sponsor or would like to become a sponsor of our Cash For Rants contest, please contact us at ads@writebite.com.

We would love it if you guys could provide us some feedback on our ideas. A WriteBite 2.0 beta is in progress and private invites may be sent to users who provide particularly helpful commentary.

Thanks,

WriteBite Team
