This is interesting. I am considering tokenizing my ad-free cryptonews platform as a way to monetize it without subjecting the users to spammy ads and popups when they just want up to date information in the crypto space... dailycryptonews.org for anyone interested. I am considering making a proof of stake smart contract tied to the wallet the tokens are held in and so as the site increases in value so do the tokens and the hodlers. This is just an experimental idea for me but I may give it a go.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I was just visiting your site the other day @kryp70kn1gh7 and I was wondering what is your business strategy?
Is this site kept because of your passion towards crypto or are you planning to find a ways to monetize it?
What's your traffic if you dont mind me asking?
ps. I would consider changing color of your font. It's really hard to read. Dark blue on black background is not the best combination for users/readers.
Yours

Hey,
Thank you very much for taking the time to review the site and I value your suggestions. I will change the font. It looked good on my monitor but I didn't think about everyone else. This is the kind of feed back I really need before trying to monetize it.
I have 3 plans for monetization. If you check out dailycryptonews.org/about then you can learn about 2 of them.
1.) A pay to blog service so coins and other crypto bloggers can promote their content by paying to make a post on the newsfeed.
2.) A crypto store where I will be selling crypto t-shirts, mining gear, and other swag/crypto goodies. I plan on offering these goods for sale for crypto only, no fiat will be accepted.
3.) My own product which I am developing the proto-type for right now. It is a digital piggy bank that earns the owner a passive crypto income using proof of stake technology. It will also be able to be upgraded so that users can run their own BTC lightning node to support the network and earn an additional small passive income... I don't know how popular they will be but I will be happy to make "mining" crypto affordable for the masses using the lightning network and proof of stake instead of power hungry, expensive proof of work... It will allow less tech savvy people, or just people who may not have the time to build such things and would rather just buy it pre-built from me, to get into crypto and earn some passively.
I have 18,000 followers that have subscribed to my mailing list since I launched in April and I intend to market these products and services that way, without ever sending "spam" in order to keep the site ad-free...
Wish me luck. I will need it, with these markets!
Dear @kryp70kn1gh7
Wow. What an amazing comment. I appreciate your time and effort. Seriously.
I love that concept. Seriously great! :)
18k followers? That's a lot. Seriously great job.
ps.
you're very responsive which is absolutely great and steemit community surely will benefit by having you here.
if you would ever like to keep in touch and support each other closer, then drop me a message promib.pl@gmail.com.
This will allow us to communicate easier. Also I may help you to promote your website once it's ready. Out of charge. Simply because you're so very supportive and responsive on Steemit and I value your work already a lot.
No pressure of course,
Cheers, Piotr
Thanks, man. I really appreciate the support, it means a lot.
Firstly, I would like to say "thank you" for your support and amazing comments @kryp70kn1gh7.
I like the concept of your ad-free site and plans of monetization. I think every of them is interesting and definitely has potential, especially combined with 18,000 followers (wow).
The one suggestion I have is that when you go to a particular article the first thing that you actually see is still this bitcoin banner and categories. You have to scroll down in order to see the heading of article. In a first moment I thought that there is no article because there was no difference between starting page and it. Hope it helps :)
Wish you the best luck,
Jan
Thank you very much for letting me know. I will certainly see if I can't fix that on the next update. You rock. The feedback is much appreciate. Keep up the good work here on steemit!
