Now when you submit News and Reviews to Maxconsole, besides getting PAID you can EARN BONUS dollars!

http://www.maxconsole.com/maxconsole/contents/RKSID00000000000000000342/icon_xl.jpg

Our 'Submit News' function has been running for a month now, and based on your 'feedback' we have improved it and added more features!

Amazing how fast time goes, and over the last month our 'Earn Dollars For News' has been working very well, and we have greatly expanded our base of 'daily writers' bringing you all the news you love to read here on Maxconsole, and as such we have been listening to your feedback both as an reader and as an freelance writer and we have made a number of improvements to the interface to make it better, plus we added a cool new feature!


!!! *** BONUS DOLLARS *** !!!


Each news which are published earns you 1 Euro (or equivalent in US$), each review earn you 5 Euros.

Payment for news goes from 1 to 2 Euros if you reach 25 like/dislike in your news, 3 Euros if 50 of them, and 5 Euros for more than 100.

Submitting news is easy with our clear interface, and creating an account only takes a few seconds (accounts are different from the ones on forums).


So there you have it, by carefully submitting news that our valued readers love to read, you can EARN BONUS money ontop of the already original dollars you got for submitting the news story to us, and to help you get the best value out of your now even more valuable news hunting skills, we have written up this short FAQ on the 'kind' of news our MaxConsole readers are looking for on a daily basis:



News that is submitted to MaxConsole first and foremost should fit any of the following example categories:
Key product announcements/updates or videogame business news.
Fun & Entertaining/Bloopers or any important 'Console customization' or 'Console Hacking' genres.
Some basic examples are listed below.
Remember our audience is made of advanced gamers, they don't always play more, but they always want to know more about their console, how to use it to the limit, and want to be entertained.

Reading Maxconsole must be a combination of pleasure/fun
and news that can't be found on 'mainstream' gaming news sites. Reviews can be of games or hardware compatible with consoles and Smartphone/tablets.

Examples for accepted news:
Ground-breaking 'underground' things like Jailbreak for v4.0 or PS-Vita has been 'hacked', etc.
Weird funny glitches in games, like you can 'walking through a car' at level 2.
Industry changing news, like Sony buys Microsoft, or PS3 is cancelled.
Major gaming issues such as 'PSN being 'hacked' or all of EA games suddenly going offline.
Un-Expected developments, like a proper game being cancelled, major EULA changes to games etc.
Whistleblower news such as uncovering new revelations regarding a product or company, missing features, false game advertising or bad business moves.
Exclusive details about 'product' before it is released, photos, information, prices, dates.
Surprising 'sales figures', like 'X360 taking over in Japan', or 'Battlefield outselling COD'.
News/rumors of known people behind videogames directly from a paparazzi :)'Champion female PES player poses for Maxim magazine'.
Funny or strange gaming related news 'Guy robs bank because he wanted to buy a PS3'.
Rejected news, Reasons Why Your News Might Have Been Rejected:[color="red"]
Clear bias or personal opinion in news submissions of a product, game and/or company. The front page is not a personal debate forum. Personal opinions are best left for reviews, or forum comments.
News must contain a source or proof for the information provided. Otherwise they must contain easily obtainable research for facts
News is a direct 1/1 copy of another website/magazine article. Short quotations are accepted, but main article text must be original.
Reviews must be 100% original content. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
Reviews for games must be for a recent title no more than 2 weeks of its release date.
Review for hardware must be for interesting, unique products/accessories. 'Rapid Fire', 'Nyko Zoom' or 'XCM XFPS', not for generic products like a carry bag or a cable.

We hope that the changes we have made will please both our valued MaxConsole Readers, and our new wonderful News Writers and Gamer Reviewers, but as usual we are open to suggestions and ideas on how we can even make everything better and more enjoyable for everyone involved, so feel free to tell us what is really on your minds, and lets continue to work together in making MaxConsole, Your #1 Resource for all your Video Gaming Console News! :)

I'd love to submit news, but when I try to sign up it always says my activation key is invalid.
I've tried many times now.

Hey, it worked! :)
Not sure if my previous post ment anything but glad to see it working now.
I think it may have been adblock that was interfering.

Just a quick question.

If we are receiving information via Official Press Notes directly from videogames companies or PR associated companies. How do we prove to the people that the info is legit if we can't provide any link? I mean, i know the info is legit because i receive and email from the company with the press note but can't link to it. Screenshot? wait for the info to be published online in another website?

Normally with the PR emails, there is bottom section, with contact info, phone number, name, just include that part, and I will edit it out before publishing it live. --- I get alot of these PR emails myself, but rarely have the time to act on them fast enough.

Another question i have.

I see in my submission system control panel that a couple of my news surpassed the 50 Likes/dislikes but none of the were rewarded. How is this? There is an especial approvement process for these or it's just a bug? Thanks :)

BTW: News that surpassed 25 likes/dislikes are appearing rewarded ok.

Could be bug? -- Send me a 'screenshot' by PM, and I will look into it.

Also could be the date of the 'news item', only ones posted after 16th will be rewarded, as that is when we started this feature, earlier ones are not counted, but from what I remember you never posted before that date, so must be back to a bug. -- So send me that screenshot, and I will look into it asap with our web/coder.

As we talked yesterday, i have tried what the coder told you but with no luck. 50+ news are not being rewarded, just de 25+ ones :/. I hope this would get fixed soon :D

Definitely, reward system is not working for me. Some news reached the 100> Likes/Dislikes and are experiencing the same as the 50> ones. It appears that i'm only being rewarded for the 25> :(

Any info regarding this issue?

Kaos2K
01-25-2012, 10:13 AM
I have just found that yesterday, one of my 100> news was rewarded as it was a 50> one (2€ reward). I think the system has problems managing rewards correctly. If you need another screenshot i can provide you with.

Yesterday i reached the 50€ amount to request the payment (With all bugs related , 17€ are missing from my balance). Just to test, i requested the payment via PayPal. To my surprise, with just one click, all my rewarded submissions in the control panel vanished. Soon after, t received 2 mails, one with details about the payment and the submissions and another, with the same style but without any submissions detailed and 0€ of payment.

My question is... what is happening with the missing rewards? those 17€? If the bugs would be adressed, could i request that?

Thanks.

P.D: Noticed too that now control panel is not showing how many Likes/Dislikes the submissions have. I think it was a good idea to view in one central place all this info. If it is possible i would love to bring it back :)

Sorry to say but my recent news that reached 25 likes/dislikes are not being rewarded. What is happening? The whole rewards progam is bugged! I think Skynet is self-aware hahaha.

No, seriously, any info from coder/staff about these issues would be appreciated. This is becoming a monologue :P

Thanks.

I want to report another issue... Today i wrote 6 news, for all of them, i got the "SUBMISSION XXXX GOT APPROVED AND REWARDED" but none are appearing on my account and were not rewarded. The news are visible in Maxconsole's homepage.

Ok, enough, just got another new "APPROVED and REWARDED" that is not appearing in my account. 7 today.

I stop sending any more news until issues are resolved or feedback about the situation is received.
