Roast & Promote is a competitive group. Competing is not mandatory, but it's what makes the place fun! Every week we award the best Roaster of the Week with a free ad pinned at the top. It stays there for 7 days and it also goes to my classroom, so people can always find it. And since it's public, you can also be found on Google searches.
On top of that you also get an ad on Pinterest with a custom image. All made by me, no effort from your part and no cost. The PInterest posts are promoted on relevant places for extra reach.
So you get a great promotional effort from me in exchange for going there and giving feedback to people. Just helping people alone will give you great inpiration and build your authority. More details on how the competition works here. But in short, I count points based on helpful, detailed and unique reviews on roast requests.
