Have you thought of payed superscription model for steemworld?
For example 1SBD monthly per user. This I think is very cheap.... you can go easy for 2 or 5. But lets say for starters 1.
I bet you can get 1000 supscirbers for 1SBD, meaning 1000 SBD monthly, or more .... that is a secure income that can easily go up .... balance between no of subscribers or fee ....
You can even make like a light version (very basic) free and advanced with subscription.
Thanks, I like the idea. In that way there would not be just a few big investors funding and controlling the future of SteemWorld and my income would be generated by the whole community, which makes it all way more predictable and better plannable for me.
You can do the Wikipedia model of a small banner pops down saying please donate to keep me afloat or something. I'd support you.
That has been tried. Lots of messages promising support, but not that many following through.
@steemchiller - I like the subscription idea, but I would tie it to the SP of the subscriber, something like this:
0 to 100 - no fee
101 to 500 fee of 0.25 SBD per month
501 to 1000 fee of 0.50 SBD p.m
1001 to 2000 fee of 1 SBD p.m
and so on
Why? Because even with an SP of 1000, all I have as voting power is 0.01c Steem. Makes it hard to earn enough to pay more.
PS: When earnings are set as to be made to a beneficiary, is there a way for us to see it is so?
Per user or per account, I have 15 SW's open :O
