"The show is free folks.. Just steemit and upvote later!" (forgot who said this)
Lol jokes aside, it's not much about trying to increase revenue, but to reduce cost from Steemit's community participation when we're planning our next events and such. The way that you mentioned might be possible, but I look at it as a bonus. The approach is still pretty up in the air. Thanks for asking! It's good to find out what are the holes in my presentation. Will improve on it :)
I think @wingz summarized it pretty aptly :) - "Bootstrapping Steemit to push yourself successfully in another business, which will in turn pushes the adoption of Steemit."
