Today is a big day for G2 Crowd: We announced the closing of a $30 million series B investment round led by Accel (same great team that invested in Slack, Dropbox, Facebook and others) with participation from G2 Crowd’s founders, LinkedIn and Pritzker Group Venture Capital.

Marteq's insight:

If you were to choose one candidate for MVT, let it be landing pages! But I hate testing LPs as they are after the fact. I'd rather deploy PageCritiq, then go A/B or MVT.

Key excerpt...


Pros & Cons of Crowdsourcing as a Content Marketing Tactic

Pros

  • Work processes that can be used across all industries and businesses of any size
  • Asking for customer feedback can provide extremely valuable insight for your business or product and service
  • Rather than relying on one person or agency to work on a project, you can select the best ideas
  • By paying someone a one-time flat rate for their service you’ll enjoy a sost savings
  • Closes the loop on customer direction

Cons

  • It can take a lot of time to sift through the outpouring of responses from people wanting to contribute to a project
  • Crowdsourcing supplants traditional forms of labor causing pain and disruption
  • Logistics can get complicated depending on the size of the crowd and/or number of projects
  • There’s a risk guaranteeing ownership of final product – all trademarks, copyrights and intellectual property rights should be obtained by the business owner or company
Marteq's insight:

It's a thought. I've never done this, and wonder how this would work in the B2B world.

Crowdsourcing: Hanging Out with All the Right People

Crowdsourcing: Hanging Out with All the Right People | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

According to researchers at Penn State, crowdsourcing works best when the right type of crowd is matched up with particular types of crowdsourcing projects.


Erickson and Petrick also identified three characteristics of crowds that can be optimized for each type of business problem:

  • The knowledge of the crowd: The crowd’s collective knowledge might be general or specialized; situational or domain specific; or about products/services
  • The value of the crowd: What makes the population of the crowd valuable? Is it the sheer volume of people contributing to a project? Is the diversity of the crowd important? Or, is the variety of what the crowd knows of value?
  • The location of the crowd: Does it matter if the crowd is internal or external to the organization?
