Chances are if you’re reading this blog post, you already know that Tongal provides writers and filmmakers with the opportunity to turn their creativity into cash by producing great content for amazing brands. What you may not know is that there are plenty of alternative ways you can make money by participating on Tongal.
This platform was built as a place where you can compete, contribute, and add value to the creative process, regardless of your skill-set. We firmly believe that the more people who collaborate on the project, the better the outcome, which is why we’re highlighting four ways (two new and two old) for people who may be creative in an alternative sense to get involved and start earning. Happy Tongaling!
WHO IT'S FOR: Anyone who knows creative people.
TIME COMMITMENT: 5 minutes
POTENTIAL EARNINGS : Up to $500 per referred creator.
Just launched, the Tongal Referral Program allows you to invite other creators to join Tongal and pays you if they win specific phases of certain projects. The best part is that your referral fee is not treated as a residual; in other words, it’s not subtracted from your friend’s earnings. All you have to do is click the “Invite Friends” button on the Tongal Navigation Bar and send the invitations via email or Facebook. We track their sign-up via your referral and pay you a percentage every time they win during certain campaigns. It’s that simple.

WHO IT'S FOR: writers, editors, or anyone with a proclivity for improving preexisting content.
TIME COMMITMENT: 5 – 15 minutes
POTENTIAL EARNINGS : $20 per suggestion.
Our brand new Suggestion Phase gives you the opportunity to make some quick cash by improving upon winning material from the preceding phase. Once the winners of an Ideation Phase (anything written: Idea, Concept, Story, Tagline, etc.) are determined, a Suggestion Phase opens for exactly 24 hours allowing anyone to take a stab at improving any of the winning submissions. The Project Judges review the suggestions and, if they think they add value, purchase them for a standard $20 fee.
WHO IT'S FOR: Anyone who watches videos online…in other words, everyone.
TIME COMMITMENT: 30 minutes – 1 hour.
POTENTIAL EARNINGS : Up to $500
Our Prediction Phase has been around since Tongal was first launched back in May 2009, but it’s often overlooked as a viable way of walking away with some decent cash for about an hour’s worth of work. Originally, we asked everyone to review every piece of content submitted, but with hundreds of submissions to comb through, it became rather tedious. As a result, the Prediction Phase has evolved to include only the Finalists (potential winners). The goal is to review the finalists (typically 15 to 40 pieces of content), then rank them in the order you think (predict) that the Judges will place them. Whoever gets closest to matching the Judges collective finishing order, wins.
WHO IT'S FOR: Anyone with a vast social network - bloggers, YouTube celebrities, SEOs, Tina Radel
TIME COMMITMENT: Variable
POTENTIAL EARNINGS : Variable (largest single prize ever awarded: $3,500)
Our Exhibition Phase has evolved from the days when only video creators could compete for views to allow everyone to share the winning videos. Aside from the standard Email, Embed or Linking capabilities, the Tongal Player also allows you to push to Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Del.icio.us, MySpace, Stumble and, most importantly, YouTube. The Exhibition can either be threshold based (hit 50,000 views and win) or based on finishing order (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) depending on the project.
