Abstract  Based on the former researches, this paper studies the motivations of consumers to spread e-WOM on the online feedback system by benefit factors and cost factors. Meanwhile, it brings the motivation crowding effect into the analysis model, and discusses the effect of extrinsic motivation on intrinsic motivation and internalizes extrinsic motivation. Finally, several proposals for encouraging customers to spread on the online feedback system are provided.
