In order to make this business model more sustainable, we have made some changes to our article pricing and bonus awarding policy. We have been working on software implementation of this with our customers and engineers and finally we have rolled it out, yesterday night.
Instead of a fixed price for every article in DEP, We have introduced dynamic pricing of articles. Each article in pool will have a different price based on supply and demand of each topic at any given moment in time. It means that each time you re-load the pool of articles, the prices will be different for each article. Once you pick it up and assign it to yourself. the price at time of pickup will be paid to you.
This step was required to make sure that customer orders are completed on time. (the articles with recent deadlines will automatically be priced higher).
There is a slight change is bonus policy. Instead of fixed bonus amount per article , we have decided that it should be increased as your number of your submissions increase. i.e. 30 submissions in a month will get 10 Rs bonus per article. and 120 submissions will get you 20 Rs bonus per article etc. details will be communicated soon as we update our Website and this blog later this week.
