Crowdsource your Creative Works with Crowdsite

Crowdsite is Europe’s leading website for crowdsourcing graphic design with over 53k professional designers and over a million designs. The concept of Crowdsourcing creative work has gained an enormous popularity in recent years. The idea of Crowdsourcing jobs is definitely a brilliant one as one can get the best designs and quality from a “crowd” of designers.

In an earlier article published on this blog titled “10 Creative Websites for Crowdsourcing Logo and Website design jobs”, I explained what Crowdsourcing is and also listed 10 awesome Crowdsourcing websites to Crowdsource your creative works such as graphic and logo designs. Check it out…

Brief history of Crowdsite

Crowdsite is a Crowdsourcing website for graphic, website, flyer, T-Shirt, logo designs and Name finding. Founded by Roel Masselink in 2009, the website has become a large Crowdsourcing website with over 30k designers.

Started in the Netherlands with ontwerpen-voor-geld.nl, the dream quickly grew to cross borders and thus Crowdsite was born in 2013. Since then more and more designers have joined this awesome Crowdsourcing website.

How to Crowdsource with Crowdsite

There are two ways you can Crowdsource on Crowdsite – Design contests and Private Projects. You can simply launch a public design contest, let the thousands of designers on Crowdsite go to work, while you get personalized professional and custom designs that suits you and then you can choose your winning design.

On Crowdsite there are three types of contest namely the;

1. Guaranteed Contest
2. Closed Contest
3. One-on-One Contest.

The Guaranteed contest means that Crowdsite will always pay the designers whether you choose a winner or not which gives the designers the confidence and will definitely lead to more entries of higher quality.

The Closed contest will mean that only designers who are logged in to the Crowdsite can view and take part in the contest. The contest and its designs will be invisible to the search engines, only the contest title and short description will appear on the search engines.

The One-on-One contest will ensure you get more original designs as each designer’s work stays private. Designers cannot see each other’s work. You can also have a one-on-one conversation with each designer in this type of contest.

Another way you can Crowdsource with Crowdsite is by private projects. You can hire a “crowdworker” directly. That way you can work 1-on-1 with a crowdworker of your choice in a private project.
