I've already said my piece about this on discord to you, so you know where I stand. It's a top notch idea.

Holding off on my vote because of the curation trail and I think this needs to be at #1 trending because of how it poses the idea of an actual use case for POB.

I'm short on liquid funds right now but once I've sent transfers to some other project this week and I've collected some earnings, I'll send you over 1000 POB as a sponsor (no strings attached) to really get this rolling and to give you some creative freedom for the start of the project.

Slow and steady mate, keep us updated.

Holy Shit! Thats huge! That will pay for a lot of articles. Thanks a lot! It's probably best to keep the accounts separate. I'll ping you, once I've finalized the new account name. I'm still hoping for a better idea for a name. :)

And yeah. I'll defintitely keep the updates coming. I`ll probably report weekly until the project takes off and I'm running out of things to say. Then I'll switch to monthly reports.

Just ping me a message on discord when you have the account set up (may take me a week or so to accrue 1000, so some time to think it all through is solid).

Feel free to ask any questions also. Got some experience with "magazine-esque" styled posts and ideas from when @penderis and I ran @buddyup (some experience we weren't @creativecrypto by any stretch).

Interesting magazines. It's fascinating how professional posts were back then. I will have a lot to learn and might have to bring in some creative design people into the project at some point.

I'm best at learning from my own mistakes but I'm so far out of my depth, that I don't even know the things that I don't know.

Expect to get questioned a lot in the near future, once I'm wise enough to know the right questions.

Don't fret, it's a piece of piss, you are already 80% there with your own posts and the formatting tricks/style etc. Just need to move that magic over into a brandable mindset and figure out things like style/colour/layout and other bits and bobs.

Looking forward to the questions and future discussion, discord is best place to get me, but if you want to make some POBs via a post I'll come along and see what you've got rolling there also.

This is awesome @calumam!

@antonym has well and truly earned my respect, so it was quite an easy decision to make. I really hope this project can spread its wings and grow the way I think it can (no pressure ant, lol).

Sounds promising with lots of potential!
Plus you already laid out the groundwork and have a plan in place. I say ACT on that plan now and make that vision become a reality.

You have my two cents :) (votes worth a little more than that lol but hope it helps!)
Love seeing initiatives and ideas being born and proof of brain makes a perfect launch base for that.

This is an is an idea worth exploring. I wanted to try this myself with a couple of people who were passionate about content writing but not so interested in crypto. I wasnt able to pull it off because i kept planning and seeing loopholes


Posted via proofofbrain.io

This idea looks really promissing because it has potential, @antonym.

I hope it works and bring an extra value to POB community.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

I'm still exploring this community @antonym, but I love the fact that you are — in the core essence — proposing to create an actual "use case" here! Far too many communities are started with great fanfare and enthusiasm, but quickly turn into "yet another token we tag our posts with" as the initial shine wears off and we essentially end up with "Hive 2.1.12."

So yeah, I'll be watching this with interest... both to see what happens, as well as from the angle of someone who's been writing web content for going on 25 years.

=^..^=

I think this is a great idea. I have one concern which I will share with you.

You should introduce new writers to POB, you should earn money off of this leg work that you do... but at some point, you should cut the writers loose to be their own POB'er. That is likely the only way to ensure longevity of your project.

As a contractor, working for a middle man is always a good foot in the door, but once I find out how much money he is getting from "hooking me up" I get mixed feelings. At that point, I quit and try to be my own man. This will ultimately happen with your magazine as well. If you can keep bringing in good writers, make money off of their introductory post(s) and then onboard them to the platform and repeat the process, it is win-win-win.

You will have my support on this.

Thanks.

I don't understand the second part.
Are you saying, that I should stop hiring them after a while?
I'm already planning to send every writer a link to every post, so that they can see how much they could have made, if they had posted it themselves.

I feel like that's fair enough. I can't force them to join POB if they prefer not to.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

No, that's all you need to do... as long as they know the game it's all good. It will bring more good content to POB. Some people would rather get $20 than 140 POB. I wouldn't, but some people might.

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.


Posted via proofofbrain.io

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.
