Just like boxing and a variety of traditional and e-sports games have done we're now investigating having sponsors. Sponsors will be able to host tournaments and/or provide a variety of rewards for players. A sponsor essentially puts up a tournament purse, with whatever types of prizes they want, and the Steem Monsters community battles it out to win it. The sponsor gets attention and the players get money!
Similarly we're looking for advertisers as well. We'll put ads on our site and get your message out to our highly targeted, crypto-savvy audience.
Why this is a great opportunity for players
We're currently delivering over 100,000 page views per day on the steemmonsters.com website to around 2,000 daily unique players. That's a significant asset that we don't think should go to waste. Any revenue brought in from sponsorships and advertising can go to further development, increase marketing, and larger tournament prizes - all of which benefit the overall community by ultimately increasing the value of the cards.
Why this is a great opportunity for advertisers
Steem Monsters has a highly targeted audience of people who own and understand cryptocurrency, and since they are stakeholders in the platform by owning cards they have every reason to be excited and supportive of brands who choose to advertise and sponsor prizes in the game.
Compare this to traditional advertising channels where you have to fight against everyone doing whatever they can to block or ignore your messages.
What are players looking at?
The most popular views in the game are based around fighting or your collection.
The most popular is battle history followed by create team, battle, the collection tab, and the market.
What will it look like?
We're doing our best to make sure any adverisements on the site are non-intrusive and fit in with the overall look and feel of the site. The goal is really just to let players know where the prizes they are winning are coming from, and encourage you to support those brands who are supporting us.
Some mockups of potential ad placements are shown below, though please note that these are not final and are subject to change.
The Battlefield
On the Battle Page
Market / Collection
Preliminary Pricing
To get the ball rolling we are offering 50% off our base pricing to our initial advertisers. We expect this will be an amazing opportunity for brands to reach this audience.

$25 CPM$12.50 CPM w/ 50% discount - Battle Page / Leaderboard Sponsorship:

Please start by filling out this form and we'll go from there!
Have a network of people looking to advertise?

You guys are actually the best! Actions speak louder than words, you are sticking to your plans and excelling! Thanks for all the hard work.
Glad to see you folks are forward thinking and continue to find ways to generate multiple streams of revenue. This is just another reason why you will continue to have much success in the future. I didn't think I would become so immersed in SteemMonsters, but I have and it is great!
great idea man.
What's the difference between sponsoring and advertising? I can't seem to find the difference. You seem to interchange these words as if they're the same. Are they the same?
Advertisers pay to have their banner ad seen by site visitors.
Sponsors put up the prize for a tournament in exchange for naming rights.
Oh hey by the way, have you heard of swiftcash? I believe you had some smartcash right? We forked off and split under a new brand called swiftcash. The deadline for claiming is 20 days or so. Make sure you move your coins to a new address or add some coins to the same address so it won't be deleted in the coming fork/reset. Let me know if you need any help. You can also join us on discord.swiftcash.cc. We also have a mining discord on miner.swiftcash.cc. Hope to see you there soon!
Thanks for the heads up. I haven't kept up with Smartcash, just holding $20 worth.
Can you drop a nominal amount into SPv1tVoR3GcEFsiErhuxpnxrNgdTdpaVhs for me please?
Let me know when you've done it and I'll bounce it back.
Sure. I sent
1 SWIFT. That will do and don't worry about it. Whenever you have time though, make sure you at least join our discord for mobile mining without any hash power or stake; you just need to verify your discord account with SMS, if you haven't already. http://miner.swiftcash.ccThanks for the reply! I didn't notice until just now :P
Good luck!

Hey, nice Post . I was thinking: Is it possible to make multiple accounts and just grind each one everyday, so that with many accounts at the end of the season instead of 20 bucks, you get 100? Or is that not allowed?
Hi. Yes its possible, but the rewards have been structured so that it's usually more productive/lucrative to focus on one account.
good!
Hi I wanted to win this but don't know how I can do this?
Congratulations @steemmonsters!

Cool
I like the idea of you being aware of the fact that people want to know where are prizes coming from. Keep it up

🙋Awesome ! im looking forward to when the Steemmonster Tournys start, I think advertising those that are sponsoring the tournament is a great idea, especially if it means more prize money and possibly more tournaments to enter! I cant wait, keep up the great work @aggroed & @yabapmatt . Upped and resteemed! 🙋👍👍👍
It would surely be much welcomed if a small portion of the sponsorship revenue could be used to bring back some booster pack rewards for quests, or as part of the season rewards. The reward series cards are nice, but many of us miss being able to consistently build our main decks, and the guaranteed "rare" or higher cards which accompany the opening of booster packs. This could be a SMALL number of packs, but I think this would alleviate some of the angst many have felt when the full switch was made to the quest reward cards.
the best recruiters
You guys are actually the best! Actions speak louder than words, you are sticking to your plans and excelling! Thanks for all the hard work.
This game looks amazing
I joined the game for being steemit and participate in whatever Steemit is, but at this point I spend more time playing Steemmonters than steemit
Fantastic to have you have you part of the conference.
