This is so important.
How about running a Hive Agency, similar to what influencer agencies do? The agency makes a deal with the content creator to promote or display a product for X amount of dollars paid in HIVE.
This can be a temporary solution, before rolling ads in the platform, and probably less obtrusive in the long run.
CTA's can be added to posts and tracked in the normal way with Google Analytics, or platforms like @3espeak can add a CTA button Overlay.
I personally like the idea of being able to advertise on the platform and not just in the form of boosting posts.
Simple example, I wish to begin selling Hive Hats with the Hive logo on them in a variety of colors for both men and women and I’m willing to accept payment in Hive currencies. I should be able to advertise on the platform to users on the platform and if the platform didn’t want to open advertising to the totality of the internet, they could choose to only accept payment in hive currencies rather than hive currencies and USD.
That would be great, and the potential is infinite.
I can't wait to click a button and buy something using Hive. LBRY just launch something like that for digital content.
I’ve said this elsewhere in the thread but there are other cool things that could be done too like charging a small fee of Hive to hide or edit posts older than 7 days.
yeah, great ideas. Is all of this going into suggestions or you reckon that the only way to implement those changes is by having the ability or the team to code and submit an MVP?
Right now I’m kinda just testing the waters seeing what people think and seeing if the devs are open to suggestions. Users seem to enjoy the ideas and the devs muted my follow up article that I posted in their community as a suggestion. (That link here) Attracting More Bees
So for right now the impression I have gotten from them is that they are not open to ideas/suggestions but it only takes one admin to block a post and that doesn’t speak for the greater community who never seen the piece that was written.
Hopefully more interest builds around and there's a chance to be heard. I'm wondering why muting the post.
I've just went and found the post in Peakd as I'm not using Esteem. Voted and reblogged it.
Cheers
