About the Gooroo Ambassador Program

The Gooroo Ambassador Program (GAP) allows you to be rewarded for taking the time to share your knowledge with the Gooroo community. All you need to do is join Gooroo as a member and write interesting, relevant and informative articles for your peers in the tech community.

Don't be shy, every one has something worthwhile to share and there's no such thing as a wrong opinion. Comments will be moderated and trolling won't be accepted. We're all friends here.

Compensation

The GAP compensation schedule is simple. The more unique views your article receives, the more money you make as a reward for your awesome work. Rewards are paid in US Dollars.

Don't bother trying to cheat the system. We have tools in place to catch out artifical page hits and those trying to get money for nothing will be disqualified from the program.

Why bother though when you have such a great knowledge to share and audience ready to hear what you say? Plus, we'll help get you started by sharing your articles too!

You will receive a special badge to symbolize Ambassador status

Wherever your photo is shown we will also display an Ambassador badge, symbolizing your special status.

Terms & Conditions

Ambassador Status is by application only and awarded on merit. Ambassador status recognizes an individual's experience and knowledge within your field(s) of expertise. So that we can complete a fair assessment of all applicants, it is strongly recommended that you update your Gooroo Bio within 7 days of application.

  1. The content you prepare must be relevant to a tech professional, be of practitioner quality, factual, informative and educational, where possible.
  2. Any articles you publish that include an overt sales or promotional nature are not acceptable. This includes the obvious use of brandmarks and/or links that direct the reader to a product/service you are promoting/selling.
  3. Unless you are authorized to do so, don't copy other people's work or expose personal information. Respect the copyright that they own and their privacy.
  4. We will review all published articles for appropriateness and at our sole discretion we will remove an article from live publication if it does not meet these guidelines. If you do not comply, then we may permanently remove the offending article, or all your articles, and suspend your status.
  5. Each month we will track unique views to determine the compensation amount achieved and if applicable, process a payment to you. Our analysis of the traffic you have received is final.
  6. Views must be genuine and unique and must not be artificially increased through the use of tools or bots to generate false traffic. If you are found to be manipulating traffic directly or indirectly to increase hits, you will be immediately disqualified from the program.
  7. You will have a period of up to six (6) months from the date of publication of each article to achieve your rewards.
  8. We will recognize the first two (2) articles you publish each calendar month.
  9. You must submit a minimum of one (1) article per quarter to maintain Ambassador status.
  10. You must tag your article with relevant tags in order for users to find your content. This will also drive organic traffic to your article.
  11. We will promote your articles to generate traffic to the page.
  12. You may share and promote articles across social media and your own channels to drive traffic to your GoorooThink article.
  13. If you write on other blog or other channel, we advise you to include just an excerpt on these sites and direct the reader to GoorooThink to read the full article. Only those hits to your article on GoorooThink will be counted for compensation.
  14. Articles you publish will be added to your Gooroo Bio.
  15. We will publish a Gooroo Ambassador badge to your Bio. You should keep your Bio up to date as readers of your articles will be able to link to it.
  16. We need to be able to adjust the compensation schedule and terms of this program at any time. Any complete articles you have published live prior to any change will be subject to the active compensation schedule at the time the article was published.
  17. We will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages caused from your use of, someone else's use of or the availability of the GoorooThink service.
  18. Incentives do not apply to articles published that do not meet these guidelines or suspended/disqualified or deleted accounts.
  19. Incentives apply to the first article published after the confirmation of the status has been issued in an email by Gooroo.
  20. Incentives are calculated in US Dollars, inclusive of GST if any, foreign exchange fees and any other applicable taxes or duties. For authors resident in Australia, we calculate the Australian dollar equivalent amount based on the exchange rates published monthly by the Australian Tax Office.
  21. Joining GAP no way confers that you will become an employee of Gooroo. We will request that you send us an invoice so that we can pay any amounts owing to you.
  22. Our objective is to build an active community of contributors. Ambassador status will be reviewed quarterly. If your status is removed, any articles you publish prior to the date of your removal will be calculated at the Ambassador rate.
  23. If your status is removed, you must re-apply and be accepted before compensation will begin.
