MyWikiBiz facts for kids
MyWikiBiz is a special kind of wiki website. It's like an online directory where people can create their own pages to share information about themselves or their businesses. Think of it as a personal online space where you can write your own story.
MyWikiBiz was started by a person named Gregory Kohs. He is a market researcher, which means he studies what people want to buy and why. He first created MyWikiBiz to help companies write articles for Wikipedia.
How MyWikiBiz Started
Gregory Kohs and his sister began the MyWikiBiz project in Pennsylvania in July 2006. At first, they offered a service where they would write content for Wikipedia and other websites for a fee. This means people or companies would pay them to create or improve articles.
Supporting Contributions to Wikipedia
At that time, there was something called the English Wikipedia’s Reward Board. This was a place where people who were interested in a topic could offer small rewards or gifts to encourage others to create or make Wikipedia articles better. This showed that people valued contributions to Wikipedia, and it helped support the idea behind MyWikiBiz's early services.
