Ask HN: Are there legal barriers to this kind of promotion?

1 pointkongqiu2 comments

We've come up with an idea that would help our startup AND a non-profit organization: We want to pledge to give, say, $1 for every review that's written on our startup's website during a given time period.

Has anyone else tried a promotion like this?

IMO it depends on what the "review" entails.

Certainly charitable contributions serve as an incentive for people to take action (see http://www.freerice.com/) - but if you're asking for a lengthy, thought out review, it probably won't serve as a strong enough incentive.

I'll check out that site's T&C -- thank you!
