How Is Crowdsourcing Changing The Way That Companies Approach Creating Content? (Rewrite) By Jaritza Flores-Garcia

We love using the web for finding and researching information, but do you know that we can use the web for buying and selling items online. That is why we use crowdsourcing which is the real deal these days but how does it all work online without the hassle.

Well, crowdsourcing is when companies get goods and services to make and save money by selling them but they must have people to get involved in order to keep their business booming without making a financial mess over the Intenet so they are good with their profit.  So let’s see what makes it so important to us during our spare time on the Internet.

As mentioned in the article entitled, The Blurring Line Between Amateur and Professional from the Atlantic, Megan Mcardle pointed out that “the 20th-century media industries divided us into two distinct classes. There were professionals who produced content and were paid for the trouble. And there were amateurs who consumed content and paid for the privilege”. 100% true because people used the method of crowdsourcing to create stories in order to publicize them for readers to show the difference between professionals and amateurs.

In my theory about crowdsourcing, users got involved with it due to their work over the internet and consumers have the chance to get ideas and to produce them but not only that but it helps them save money. As evidenced in the New York Times article, Crowdsourcing To Get Ideas, and Perhaps Save Money,  Constance Gutske stated that it has benefits for users to make the profit by saving money after consumers purchased their goods on the internet and it replaced focus groups but not only it’s faster but it’s cheaper.

Also what I found out about crowdsourcing  is that it also brings out competition from both amateurs and professionals because for example, in Wired.com’s article, The Rise of Crowdsourcing, it proved a point that both classes compete to see who sells their goods the most without going overconfident but they sell their goods at lower prices instead of items that are way too expensive for consumers to buy.

So why is Crowdsourcing very important to us? It is because users created websites to encourage customers to purchase items at a low cost to increase the number of items that were sold to save money for the economy so they could be professionals in order to make their businesses at large for the benefit of the Internet. So I rest my case by concluding that crowdsourcing is the best way to sell and buy items so we could save our profit for more important things later in everyday life without stressing out on expensive things and we could thankful that we didn’t go over the budget for the items we need or don’t need for the time being.
