Predictify is a prediction platform that adds an interactive, forward-looking dimension to the
news. You can read a news story, make a prediction on the topic, and have a discussion with other users all in one visit. Unlike a poll, we score every prediction against the actual outcome, so you can build a reputation over time based on the accuracy of your predictions. It's like fantasy sports for everything else.http://www.predictify.com/
It's fun to be right, but it can also be profitable. There are no display ads on Predictify. Instead, we offer sponsored questions for marketers who want to create highly-engaging advertising experiences. We charge advertisers $1 per prediction, and we share a portion of that fee with you, the predictors, based on your accuracy to encourage thoughtful participation and high-quality predictions (tell me more). Best of all, it's free - no points or bets required.
So how much can you make? A lot, if you're good. The highest payout to-date is $172.74 -- not bad for spending 30 seconds making a prediction. To see the latest sponsored questions, click here? (we'll be adding more in the future). And tell your friends. The pot increases by $1 for every prediction up to the maximum set by the sponsor.
In 2008, we paid out over $20,000 to our users. We hope you join us for a fun, interesting ... and lucrative 2009!
