A Design Idea is a set of pictures and associated product information that describes a home décor ensemble.
For example, if you have furnished your living room with products that you bough t from different locations, you could create a Design Idea by posting up to five pictures of your living room. Using PozoWorld tools, you can mark out product information in those pictures. You would place PozoPins (little red squares) on your products, so others can see what you have annotated in your pictures.
An Open Space is a collection of pictures of a space you want to decorate, and for which you would like suggestions from the community. Simply post pictures of your Open Space and specify any special needs or restrictions. Others in the community can attach pictures and suggest Design Ideas for you to use. There is no cost, and you are not obligated to use suggestions provided in any way whatsoever. This is merely a service that connects people with décor ideas to people who need them.
The method for posting an Open Space is identical to the posting of a Design Idea.

PozoWorld believes in giving back to the community. This allows participating Revenue Share Beta users to contribute part or all of their earnings to one of PozoWorld's charity partners. At the end of the year, PozoWorld will match a portion of these contributions.
You need to be an approved Revenue Share Beta user to participate. You can choose these options at registration, and select a charity and a percentage of your earnings that you wish to contribute.
At the time of payout, we will reference your user profile, to determine the options you have marked for charity contributions. If you have marked a certain percentage for charity, we will send the appropriate amount in your name to the charity partner, and send you a confirmation. We will deposit any remaining earnings into your PayPal™ account.
For example, if you have $1000 in earnings at the time of payout, and you have designated 50% to charity “A”, we will send $500 to charity “A” and deposit the remaining $500 to your PayPal™ account.
Sure. We are always on the lookout for good charities to make our money work the most. If you have a suggestion, please email it to charity@PozoWorld.com
