When I tried to search for properties for my office space in the Madipakkam area, I only narrowed it down to one property site to see where the rental office space was available, but that site did not cover the majority of the rental space in our area. So, once again, I must rely on real estate agents to find a suitable location, and I must pay them a one-month rental fee. There is no guarantee that the agent will have all of the rental property details, so what is the solution to cover almost all of the vacancies? It can only be done by crowdsourcing the data. It is because property owners may not be familiar with how to add a free listing to a property website.
Crowdsourcing presents some difficulties. The contributor should be compensated for his efforts because he is the only one who uploads the data that he saw in his neighbourhood and through which all of us benefit. Isn’t that right? So we should take a percentage of whatever we make from selling the property details to the user. If we sell the property using the contributor, we may have to pay him a portion of the proceeds.
Anyone can contribute to this upload, and we will hide all of the property’s contact information, ensuring that the user must come to us to obtain the property’s contact information. You may have a doubt that if a contributor uploads outside images of a property, anyone can easily identify the property and visit it without our assistance. We recognize the issue. We have a solution for this problem, so we will filter the images that are shown to the general public. Images outside of property will be saved in our private folder and shared with users who pay for the data.TThe listing uploaded by the contributor will be visible only after approval, so all data is secure, and we recognise our contributors’ efforts.
We have integrated our mail to support the ticket system, so that each email received via contact form will be created as a support ticket and resolved properly, allowing contributors to trust our backend system.
Another concern for contributors will be what happens if there are duplicate listings. If the listing is already available and is uploaded by another contributor, we cannot publish a second duplicate listing because it will confuse users. As a result, it is best practice to upload the listing only after determining whether or not the same listing has already been listed. You may be wondering how you know the same listing was uploaded without knowing the address, and you are correct. We will check from our end, comparing addresses and using the Google Maps link to confirm.
To ensure that this listing was uploaded by one of our contributors, we display the unique name under the contributor’s property listing. You can view your profile to see what listings you have uploaded. It is to ensure that we are both on the same page. Nothing is hidden, and everything is visible.
What are your next steps as a contributor to our website mohamedkamil.com ? You simply register on our site with all of the necessary information, such as your profile information, home address, phone number, and so on, and then begin uploading the listing.
What is the commission rate that we will offer to contributors? It is the crucial subject. Everyone spends their time for financial benefits, right? At the same time, I must ensure that customers benefit from this as well. Isn’t that correct? There is no business without customers. If we charge what others charge, why should they come to us? My objective is also to provide our customer with a cost-effective solution. So, at first, we intend to provide our customer with one set of contact information for Rs.60. As a contributor, you will receive 40% of Rs.60, which is approximately Rs.24.This Rs.24 will be accumulated whenever a customer purchases the contact information that you uploaded. Assume that if ten customers request and pay for contact information, you will receive 240.
If you upload more listings and more sales occur, your payment will increase, so it all depends on demand and details. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected]
