tech_a682c2d9 Thank you for the questions! So, shops are added by people reviewing them and at first that was the only way i wanted them added. When i started it, I reviewed a couple shops I worked at and a couple of buddies did as well. The map was empty except for that handful for about a month, month and a half maybe. I could see that people were clicking on my site then clicking right off since they were looking at an empty site. So I decided to, and I hope it doesn't come off as a dirty trick, import 1000 shops to list to help fill up the map. So the grey shops in the map are the ones i added and the blue ones have reviews. Again I hope that doesn't come off as a dirty trick, it's not like I added fake reviews or anything haha.
So to address your questions on my "pay expectation" section I really am open to suggestions. I only just added it monday so I'm sure there is a lot to address but I did want to keep it fairly simple and just have people add their base pay since shops do so many different things for production incentives it would get really complicated. I am open to suggestion as to how I could incorporate those systems though. I really do appreciate any input I get because I want to make Shop-Rate as good as it possibly can be. I am not selling out and you can quote me on that. I plan on riding this thing through. I don't want to sound like a commercial but I started Shop-Rate to help techs because I am one myself and although I am not flat-rate anymore, I want to help as much as I can. The shop environments nowadays can really make or break good people and 98% of the time its completely out of the techs control. Thank you again for your input and I welcome any suggestions or ideas that can make my site better and to work hand in hand with flatrate.wiki as well
