If its any good you have a chance of making cash. 99designs acts as a escrow account and holds the cash until a winner is announced. Look for the ones that say guaranteed to pick a design.
You have a particular skill that not many unemployed people have. Who knows the winning design could lead to a full time job.
Maybe Im wrong.. Enjoy wiping your ass with the leaves off the tree out back.  |
I've been looking over that site more and a few things I wanted to point out...
Quote:
5.7 99designs is not an escrow service
99designs is not an escrow service and does not hold property on behalf of any person. All amounts deposited or paid to 99designs are property of 99designs and 99designs may use those funds as it sees fit. The only rights that you have to receive payment of any amounts held by 99designs are as set out in this clause 5 or under clause 6.
|
Clause 5 and clause 6 go on to say that they (99designs) pays the desingers "credits" that may or may not be redeemed as cash (the may not is sketchy as hell and I don't fully understand everything so far, but it looks like it's to THEIR (99designs) discretion IF they will redeem credits to cash
their other TOS states:
Quote:
4.5 No guarantee of winning a Design Contest or being included
You acknowledge and agree that as a Designer:
1. you may not have the ability to enter each and every Design Contest;
2. 99designs or a Customer may restrict your ability to enter any one Design Contest and/or invite only specific Designers to a Design Contest
|
Last but not least I'm seeing many of the "guaranteed" contests marked as "Silver" or "bronze" so I can only at this point assume I need to PAY to be that type of member and be able to enter those contests
I'm NOT trying to knock the site believe it or not, but I'm looking into it more, just wanted to point out they are NOT an escrow as you said they were "like" and they MAY or MAY NOT actually pay the designers (but I could use my "credits" on their site to purchase stuff like design work) I'm sure they are good and on the up and up but their terms scare me a bit.
