1. We were thinking of personally completing tasks at first to get a steady supply of tasks
2. We cant afford to post task ourselves as we are just starting out (no funding)
3.Again no funding to do that
4. We have created a profile that shows courses and tasks a freelancer has completed on our site. I can maybe add a feature that allows them to share this on other freelancing sites or on job finding sites
But really the problem is that even if we had tasks most people arent motivated to complete courses. This seems like a problem in other e-learning sites as well. People just enroll in a course but they dont have the motivation to complete them. So, I wanted to know how we could incentivise users to actually complete a course
- _ah 7y agoA user will only engage with your product if it's rewarding to them. This can mean internal rewards ("I enjoy this / feel good") or external rewards ("now I can earn money"). You've identified the missing external rewards, and have reasons why this cannot be changed. That leaves only internal rewards. The fact that your users are not engaging is hard data showing that the experience of your training course is not rewarding enough. Stated more bluntly, your product isn't good enough. Fix that. You must stop thinking in terms of "retention", because this leads you down the path of tricks and dark patterns. Focus on making your core training product inherently compelling. This is likely to be more than one small thing... there are probably a hundred separate improvements that you need to make to polish your core offering.
