How an idea turned into 20,000 experts earning on the side

Where it started

When we launched our Rewards Programme back in March, the idea was simple: give experts a way to earn from their knowledge, even when they weren’t actively working on projects.

Experts were already sharing what they know through calls and surveys, but we kept coming back to something that felt untapped: the day-to-day experience they had with the software they used at work.

So we built a simple way for experts to share that experience through software reviews, and get paid for it.

Since March, we’ve changed things, tested new approaches and rebuilt parts of the programme based on what we were hearing directly from experts. We’re still doing that today, and shaping Rewards around what actually makes it valuable for the people using it.

From an idea to 20,000 experts

What we didn’t expect was how fast it would grow. Today, more than 20,000 experts are earning passively through our Rewards Programme.

What started as a way to close a gap has become something bigger: another way for professionals to put knowledge they already have to work. Experts can contribute in their own time, earn from their reviews, and open the door to further opportunities on the platform.

If you’re an expert and haven’t joined yet, now’s a good time to start.
