I see an successful idea in this plan, but I believe that it needs tweaking.
I don’t see how this is going to bring writers in effectively. It will surely get you plenty on personal content, but the writers for hire won’t pay much Mind to the platform they are being hired for. There would be some expectations, but I think most that you hire will take their money and call it a day.
$10 for a good 500 word post Isn’t enough for good writers. From a personally perspective, I would never sell that many words for $10. It can take me hours, even days to write 500 words that isn’t freewrite. Even then, my free writing consumed a lot of time. And that’s for topics that I chose. Articles can take hours or days to research topic or take a short course online, and |or researching competitors, writing, editing, formatting, more editing, photo or sound sourcing, and communication back and forth between you and them. Also, a good writer will take into considerations of their educational costs, internet, electric bill, and hardware (laptop, cell). —- $10 isn’t going to attract proper writers.
Those are just my fly by night opinions and I’m no one special.
Again, I think you are on the correct path and your motivation and incentive is admirable.
To the first point:
Assuming they're successful writers, there is no reason for me to stop hiring them. I assume they would get curious at some point, why the same guy keeps hiring and sending them links to their posts infinitely.
To the second point:
Yeah. It's an experiment. Clearly I won't be hiring people, who already make money on POB. I'm open to failure.
A $10 post needs to make about 30 POB to be successful. With @calumams sponsorship I'm going to be open to get better writers, too. We'll see which once perform the best. :)
In the end it's an experiment. I'm excited to see, where it gets me. I expect to make lots of mistakes and learn a lot.
What about copyright ? Are you planing to share their content on your account, or you will create special accounts for those writers. So, why to not just invite them here and pay them from the curation rewards or create a referral system here where people will earn from those they invited. I think the onboarding hive system have something like that. That will be good to see an onboarding system created here. More people will join us that way.
The copyright will be mine. That's what I will be buying.
The content will be posted on @thehoot , which is my account specifically for this project.
I'm not sure, what you're saying with the rest of your post. I'd love a referral system on POB. But this is about creating my own magazine on POB. Getting new writers to join POB on their own is just a nice side-effect I'm expecting.
I understand now about copyright.
About the referral system, I meant when we create accounts using HiveOnboard program here : https://signup.hive.io/ There are two accounts who are set as refferers. I tried to create an account and two accounts were set as beneficiaries for each content I create. Like 1% for one and 1% for an others. I don't know the details, I'm just sharing the information.
I meant for POB it will be good if we will have onboarding program that will motivate people to invite more people here.
