Tickmarkers Prominence Rewards

Points are awarded to you for various activities on the site such as inviting others to join the network (and when they sign up from this invite), adding content such as videos and comments / opinions, starting and / or taking part in forums.

One of the main aims of the site is to promote networking and communication between the members and within the industry. Helping each other and pro-actively adding constructive information and questions to the site no matter what your qualification or level of experience is what builds a strong and meaningful community.
