Engagement Incentives For Posting

[Cory]

What are your primary go-to incentives for posting on your board?

We have a shop where people can buy items for points they gain from posts, but in all the years it has been up barely anyone has used it.

I introduced credit system on one of my forums where users could earn forum credits through posting. Idea was to create a marketplace where users could use their credits to buy digital products with real world value, for instance ebooks, digital course, social media templates, AI generated images, etc. But sadly I never introduced the marketplace.

Seeing as there isn't a credit system for Invisoin Community (yet) I use user group promotions! Which gives them more access to other parts of the community. Say you post 5 post, you will get access to our clubs so on and so forth

There is one:

But discontinued for v5:

Members Shop and related apps: END OF LIFE

I have been considering this decision for a while, and the time has come. The following apps will no longer receive new sales, renewals, or upgrades to IPS5, at least from me: https://www.sosinvision.com.br/index.php?/file/155-members-shop/ (200 purchases/24 active) https://www.sosinvision.com.br...

I was about to say, that would be weird if Jcink had a feature that IPB didn't have.

Well, unless someone takes over or develops a new one, v5 won't have it either sadly.

Yes but it's not like dragonbytes plugin for xenForo

No, that's correct. DragonByte's add on is far more extended in features. But it's easier to develop add ons for XF compared to Invision Community. And now that v5 is on the way, it's even less easy to develop applications, since hooks are gone in v5.

I am thinking of adding a shop but I know that won't do much if people are not into movies or tv series (in my case). I am also thinking of making competitions, maybe that will give me an extra edge.
