  • Social Good 2.0 : Choose your prizes, spread a good cause

    Posted on 09 Sep 2011 into Announcements

    SAYS.my has launched a brand new platform called Social Good 2.0!

    Here’s a chance for you to grasp the opportunity of doing your part for a good cause in this new era that we are very well familiar with. SAYS.my has got a line up of NGO’s on board. And we’re making it a mission to help spread awareness to as many people across Malaysia through social media. I guess we can all agree that people like you and I are on Facebook and Twitter, etc. pretty much all the time, right? Now we can put that frequent activity of ours to help out :D

    We’re on a massive recruitment drive. We’re trying to get 100,000 social media users on board for this.

    We are giving out cash & prizes to you and your friends for helping out!

    Yup, everyday from Monday to Friday for 6 weeks! Because it is for a good cause, not only are we giving cash and prizes to you… but the friends you recruit, too!

    Here is how it’s going to work..

    The first thing you want to do is head over to the Social Good 2.0 page

    STEP 1. Choose your prizes

    Choose as many prizes as you want from the list by inviting a friend to win the prize with you.
    Remember, your friend has to be someone who has a Facebook account & is not a SAYS.my member yet!

    To invite a friend, just click on the next to your prize of choice, and an invite window will pop up.

    You can either invite your friends directly from Facebook by selecting their names for your Facebook friends list or copy the referral link given and share it with them via Twitter, your blog, your instant messenger etc…

    You can also invite more than one friend for each prize. But if you win, only one of the friends you invited will win along with you.

    Once your friend has successfully signed up, your prize of choice will be activated and +25 chances will be added to your prize and it is ready for you to win!

    STEP 2. Share a Social Good campaign

    Share a social good campaign you feel most passionate about. Sharing more than one Social Good campaign is definitely encouraged :) New Social Good campaigns will be put up every few days, so do check back. We’ve got a lot of NGOs and social causes lined up!

    Sharing other Sponsored campaigns will increase your chances, too!

    Every unique visit driven to a campaign will give you :

    • +5 points for Social Good campaigns
    • +3 points for Sponsored campaigns

    to the prizes you’ve recruited friends for.

    STEP 3. Check if you & your friend have won

    Two winning pairs will be announced at the bottom of the Social Good 2.0 page and on the SAYS.my Blog every day (Mondays to Fridays) at 4pm.

    Be sure to check out the Terms & Conditions and check out the FAQ below to guide you through Social Good 2.0.

    Also stay tuned to the SAYS.my Facebook page & Twitter for updates!

    Here’s a video you can share with your friends to help them during sign up. You can even use it for yourself in case you need a guide to participate in Social Good 2.0 :)

    THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL GOOD

    While all these prizes are dedicated to recruit more Malaysian social media addicts to help out, the real difference we can make happens when enough of us pool together and give these NGOs a voice! There are dozens of social causes. Some started by nonprofits, some started by everyday Malaysians just like us. They might not have big budgets to advertise traditionally, so this is where SAYS.my can come in to help. After the recruitment drive is over, we will continue to feature NGOs and we hope you can lend them a tweet or a share every now and then! Prizes will be involved, too. And when thousands of us chip in to help them… it goes a long way  :D

    Disclaimer : Members who are detected to be faking clicks or possess duplicate/fake accounts, will be banned from SAYS.my and disqualified from winning any prizes. The investment in the platform is in part to help NGOs, and it is important to prevent bad people from taking advantage of charity.

    So are you all good? Let’s go make a difference! :D

    Social Good 2.0 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    1. “Invite friends to increase your chances to win this prize”.

    Define the term “friend”.
    A friend is someone who :

    • Does not have a SAYS.my account
    • Has a Facebook account
    • Is active on Facebook
    • has more than 50 friends on Facebook
    • is  NOT a duplicate account of your own
    • is NOT a duplicate account created by you or someone else to help you
    • loves sharing cool stuff for a good cause

    2. Can I invite more than 1 friend for a particular prize?
    Definitely! The more friends you invite and they sign up, the higher your chances to win that prize :)

    3. Will I be able to go back to the same page to add prizes or invite more friends & check the status?
    Yup, feel free to visit the Social Good 2.0 page (http://says.my/social-good)  anytime if you feel like increasing your chances by inviting more friends or add a new prize to your list.

    4. What happens if none of the friends I invited signed up for any of the prizes?
    I’m afraid you won’t be eligible for the prize until your friend signs up. Tip : Try inviting friends who genuinely care about a good cause :)

    5. If I’ve already invited a friend for one prize, can I invite the same friend for another?
    You can invite them, but when they sign up, they’ll sign up into only one prize.

    6. Is it possible for me to win the prize, and that same friend wins another prize with their friend on the same day?
    Well, it IS a lucky draw. Anything can happen :)

    7. If the prize I want has already been given away, can I transfer my friend invites to a different prize?
    I’m afraid, not. But you can invite more friends for a different prize!

    8. Will my friend invites still be counted in the days to come?
    Sure! If the prizes you chose are still available, the friend invites for it are definitely still counted.

    9. How are the winners chosen?
    Winners will be chosen on a lucky draw basis by a computer algorithm. By collecting as many chances as you can through friend invites & sharing campaigns, you have a higher chance of winning. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll win, but you’ll definitely have higher chances :)

    10.How many prizes can I choose?
    You can choose as many prizes as you want, as long as you have recruited friend on board to win it with you.

    11.How will I know if I’ve won something?
    Winners will be announced daily (on weekdays) on the Social Good 2.0 page and the SAYS.my Blog.

    12. If I have more than one friend for a prize, how do you choose which one of my friends get the prize with me if I win?
    All winners are chosen on a lucky draw basis, therefore your friends will also be randomly chosen through lucky draw too.

    13. I have already invited my friends, and they signed up. But why is my prize still not activated?
    Your prize will only be activated when the friends you’ve invited has successfully signed up. This is to encourage sharing of social good campaigns for the NGOs.

    14. Will there be prizes on Saturday and Sunday?
    Nope. Prizes are only given out on weekdays, Monday to Friday.

    15. I saw that one of the winners’ chances for the prize he/she won was lower than mine, how come I didn’t win?
    Increasing your chances through friend invites & campaign sharing definitely gives you an upper hand at winning, but it doesn’t promise you a win. But here’s a tip: Some prizes have less people inviting people to them… and higher chances for you to win ;)

    16. How will I know when the prize I chose will be given out?
    All prizes are given out at random every day. There are two pairs of each prizes. So everyday the prizes given will be a mystery till the winners are announced.

    17. What are the things that’ll completely cancel out my chances of winning?

    • Creating duplicate accounts
    • Asking someone to create a duplicate account to help you
    • Using automated methods to generate clicks on your link
    • Using misleading messages to gain clicks on your link.
    • Creating or joining click rings to gain clicks from other members
    • Tagging multiple people in your Facebook posts.
    • Posting more than one campaign link in one post
    • Emailing people that you don’t know
    • Asking / telling / begging other users to click your links
    • Posting your link on shout boxes and discussion forums
    • Posting your link on any website or Facebook Fan pages
    • Posting your link on SAYS.my Community and SAYS.my Facebook page
    • Posting your link on job hunting sites

    The whole idea is to genuinely SHARE the campaign like you would recommend something good for your friends.

    18. Why is there only a few Social Good campaigns to share?
    We are starting out with a few campaigns, then in the days to come, new Social Good campaigns will be added to the list for you to share. We’ve got many NGOs and social causes lined up for you.

    19. Do I have to wait for my prizes to be activated before I can start sharing the social good campaigns?
    Not at all, you can go ahead and share the campaigns first. Once your prizes are activated all the accumulated chances you’ve got from the campaigns will be counted for your everyday win.

    20. A lot of my friends have visited my campaign link, but why am I not rewarded/given chances for it?

    The accumulated chances you’ve received through campaign sharing will only be added to your prizes when your prizes has been activated.

    However, if your prizes ARE active, it could be that not all your friends’ clicks may be a unique visit. To know more about unique visits, check this out : http://blog.says.my/what-is-a-unique-visit-2/

    21. What other way can I invite my friends to join Social Good with me aside from the Facebook invite?
    You can use the personalized link provided for your prize of choice and invite them through :

    • Facebook message
    • Email
    • Messenger chat
    • Blogging about it
    • Making a video about

    22. If the prize I chose has already been given out, will I still have the chance to win it?
