I came up with a new way to show who the greatest of the greatest are at AOA. It’s a way to show off how involved you.

It’s called AOA Points.

AOA Points is a really simple system that ranks AOA Members (747 and AviatorPro currently) who comment, login, etc on the blog. This is all automatically taken care of.

So, why should you care?

1. Exclusive Prizes will be given to top members on a regular basis.
2. It gives us all an extra reason to get more involved.
3. It shows off our ‘status’.
4. You get ranked. Currently you start out as a Student Aviator, and then you can work up to a Private Aviator.

How does one go about earning points?

Here are some requirements.

1. You must be logged into a members area (747 or AviatorPro)
2. You can get points for ALL posts, protected or not.

How can you earn points?

1. Login (5 Points)
2. Comment (10 Points)
3. Share on Facebook or Twitter (25 points for each share)
4. Post information about us on your blog or website (a simple link) (50 Points)

1 and 2 are automatic. To get points for Twitter, simply include #flyaoamedia in your tweet when you retweet, and also #(your username).

For Facebook, just shoot me a quick line through email and I’ll give you the points.

We are going to play around with this whole AOA Points thing and see how it goes. It’s most likely here to stay, because I think it’ll be a lot of fun to give recognition to the top Aviators. We will tweak things along the way, have contests, give aways, and a lot of fun!

That’s it for me!

Throttle On!

PS
Comment and let me know what you think about this and also some other ideas on how we can award points. (AND EARN POINTS FOR IT!)
