• Crawl / Walk / Run – Keep it simple in the early stages
• Don’t jump in with a multi-layered approach
• Stay in control of the process – Own the IP & Content
• Leverage expertise within the industry – what to avoid & where to
focus
• Use existing communities to gain access
• Find a great partner for seeding contests
• Facebook & Twitter – great for UGC, but not as strong for Crowdsourcing
• Expect to be surprised
• People love to participate & are passionate about their interests
• Be prepared to fail and to try again – be nimble, quick & focused
