Crowdsourcing the wrong thing
-
Make sure whatever information you provide while you crowdsource even if gets leaked you don’t lose anything
-
Whose stuff is it anyway
-
A major issue that I see with Crowdsourcing is that of copy rights.
-
The genuineness of the crowdsourcee needs to be checked.

Wrong Marketing – At times Crowdsourcing can result in wrong marketing by passing the bad word of mouth publicity.
-
At times you have to give that buck
-
Ideas are open
-
because if you wanted a completely unique product, there are chances others too had an eye on it.
-
You get it cheap but it can’t be costlier – That’s an irony
-
to get your job done you can outsource, and by paying more you can get better results (mostly).

in crowdsourcing this might not always be true.

trying to integrate this to your existing Business model doesn’t seem to work at least for now.

some might be OK with a 100 dollar bill while others try to get at least 250

huge disadvantage about Crowdsourcing
-
various individuals satisfying your need;

if you visit any of these forums where crowdsourcing is going on
-
what you find is one or two participants post original ideas
-
Now they can be ceased on that particular forum but if ideas get leaked across the internet there’s basically no way out.
-
I will wind up concluding this as a great tool. A tool which can make or break the game, so I do suggest you to plan well in advance and take advantage of this new opportunity.
