Which notes should I upload?

Student authored notes are like other study guides sold online and at bookstores around the world. Your notes should present and explain the subject matter covered in a course or scholastic subject, pulling from various sources in your own format and organization. StudyMoola serves as a free market exchange for the compilation and organization of information for others on public topics.

What if someone plagiarizes my work product?

StudyMoola relies on our members to help police potential bad actors. We have a zero tolerance for plagiarism and will take down uploads and freeze a user accounts when plagiarism is verified. If you see or suspect such activity please use the contact information on the contact page to notify StudyMoola. When plagiarism is identified and confirmed the infringed party is notified and may take any appropriate action against the infringer.

Why upload?

Say you are a student in a large lecture class. You’ve taken notes and/or written an outline. At the end of the semester it’s no longer helpful to you but can serve as a vital resource to a student coming behind you. Why not upload and let your hard work pay unlimited dividends. It’s easy to see how you can make serious $Moola$ if just a handful purchase your study material (10 sales = ~$80 for one document!)

How do I get paid?

First, upload your class notes, course outlines, or other study materials. Why not? You have only $Moola$ to gain.
Each time your document is purchased your account is credited. You can track sales on your user homepage.

When do I get paid?

Request payment anytime.
StudyMoola transfers funds once a semester. A nice surprise waiting for you at the end of a hard semester!

How do I chat?

You can search for the subject matter you are interested in and enter that chat room. Or, you can click on the chat link on a document detail page to chat about that specific document.

Why is there a fixed initial price?

We want to start each document at the same place and let the purchasers decide the appropriate value.

Why is there a capped price for each document?

We never want a user to second guess their purchase based on price and keep the documents from becoming too expensive. We also want to drive up sales for the authors by keeping prices low.

Why does the price go up?

Price goes up by a small increment each time a sale is made to reward the author of a superior study material. It also aids the purchaser when trying to decide the relative quality of documents as determined by the decisions of other purchasers.

How do I determine the best document to purchase?

Preview: You can get a timed preview of each document before purchasing to get a feel for the breadth and depth of the document you are purchasing.
Searching: use the sophisticated search engine to narrow down documents that are the most relevant to your course.
Pricing: A higher price acts as an endorsement by other users.
Feedback: You can view feedback other users have left for a document of interest.

How does the bulk purchase work?

Many of the best documents are more expensive because they are in high demand. If you commit to buying any 5 documents we will fix the price of each at $9.99 even if the actual price of each document is higher. If you choose 5 documents that are below an average price of $9.99 each you will receive that lower price.

Why can’t I print or download a study material once I subscribe to it?

We have provided ample opportunity to view your purchase when logged on to the website. Most students study with their computer turned on. We want to do what we can to protect the author’s material from being distributed to others who have not paid to view the document.

When I subscribe to view a study material, why am I limited to the number of “views” for that document?

The prices are low and the number of document “views” are high. This ensures that each buyer will have ample opportunity to review the documents they subscribe to while studying for a particular course or exam while not sharing their login information with another.
