To start, we will require that the referred account has a proper blog, has produced content for at least a few months already, have a decent following on social media (5k+ on at least one platform), and ideally also reached an Alexa rating in the top 1 million.
I hope this action may bring a lot of good writers who already have audience.
I like this kind of ads. The link to your new website should appear in every steempress website. This will bring more traffic to your website. I would like to suggest to add a referral link of the website owner on the ads of your new website. I think this is not very difficult. If you can make a banner and referral link we can add it on our own.
We can for sure provide default widget samples with your referral link as the link in the picture that you can add to your blog. Would be cool indeed!
I think steemit is now accepting the ads on his own. What about running ads on the website that used steempress. If there is no ads to display the can display ads about steem or steemit.
That is a good idea, and something we intend to do later. The question is how extensively we want to connect it to the blockchain or not. Short term, I think it will be there for people hoping to refer more users to Steem and who know they can earn benefactor rewards and other referral benefits if they refer people through SteemPress.
