MindSumo is a crowdsourcing website where companies come on board to get innovative ideas for their business growth from problem solvers. On the other hand, problem solvers also sign up on Mindsumo to provide creative innovative ideas to companies that need them.

To make money on MindSumo, you need to sign up as a problem solver and there is no complex requirement to being one. All that is required is your creative problem-solving skills and the ability to make some research online or offline as the case may be.

How MindSumo Works

Companies that are looking for innovative ideas for their business growth, new product development, etc. partner with Mindsumo by signing up on the site, they provide details about the innovative idea they need from problem solvers registered on Mindsumo and then make payment to MindSumo to crowdsource problem solvers for them.

MindSumo’s team publishes companies’ idea sourcing requests as challenges to be solved by problem solvers on their platform, states the cash prize reward to be shared among top entry problem solvers, and the deadline for entries.

Problem solvers solve the available challenges, the solutions get reviewed and graded by the companies, then top entry problem solvers (based on scored grade) get rewarded in cash prizes that can be withdrawn to their PayPal account.
