Crowdsourced business naming.
About NamingForce
NamingForce is a crowdsourcing platform where businesses run contests to find a name for their company or product. "Namers" submit creative name ideas, and the client chooses a winner. It is a niche platform focused purely on naming, unlike broader design sites.
The platform is known for its simplicity and community rankings. Namers can earn cash prizes ranging from $100 to $500 per contest. It is a legitimate way for creative writers and branding enthusiasts to monetize their vocabulary and wit.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much can I win?
Contest awards typically range from $100 to $500. The prize is winner-take-all, so you only get paid if your name is selected by the client as the best submission.
2. Is it free to join?
Yes, it is free to create an account and submit names. However, new users may be limited in the number of contests they can enter until they build a reputation score.
3. How do I get paid?
NamingForce pays winners via PayPal. Payments are typically processed within a verification period after the contest closes and the winner is selected.
4. Is it competitive?
Yes, popular contests can receive hundreds or thousands of entries. To win, you need to submit unique, available (domain-checked), and catchy names that stand out to the client.
5. What happens to non-winning names?
If your name is not selected, you retain the rights to it (unless the platform rules state otherwise for specific contests), allowing you to potentially use it in future contests.
