Blockchain technologies are getting more useful, especially for Content Creators, as it provides better monetization opportunities. Previously Content Creators had to gain a massive audience to be eligible for monetization. It was also not available for people from specific regions. These restrictions made it difficult for content creators around the globe to pursue their passion, up until the emergence of cryptocurrencies.
Many media platforms have appeared in recent years that utilize blockchain technologies to provide opportunities for content creators to monetize their content. Here is a list of the top 6 best media platforms for content creators:
Paragraph is an article and newsletter publishing platform that allows creators to sell their content as NFTs. Creators can also sell subscriptions and turn their subscribers into members. Subscriptions grant access, and NFTs grant ownership. It utilizes Ethereum, Polygon, and other top blockchains. This platform also has AI-powered writing tools to assist content creators.
Read.cash is a platform where you can publish articles and earn Bitcoin Cash (BCH) cryptocurrency. When readers find your content valuable, they can show their support and upvote your post by sending any amount of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to your online wallet.
Publish0x is a content publishing platform that rewards both authors and readers with various cryptocurrencies. It uses a Free Tipping mechanism in which the website provides a set amount of daily free tips. Readers can send a percentage of the tip to the author of a post, and receive a portion of it themselves. The reward pool is typically funded through advertisements, airdrops, and project promotions.
3.D.tube
D.tube is a decentralized video publishing platform based on its own blockchain Avalon. This blockchain also acts as a database to restore videos. The native currency of this blockchain is DTC, which content creators receive by publishing videos. Anyone can use it to vote, tag and promote videos on the website.
2.Odysee
Odysee is a blockchain-based media platform that hosts all kinds of media such as images, articles, PDFs, audio files, etc. They are best known for hosting videos. The Odysee platform is built on a blockchain protocol called LBRY (simply pronounced Library). All content on Odysee is hosted on the LBRY network. The LBRY blockchain's purpose is in the name - it's a digital media library. LBRY exists as a decentralized way of sharing digital media content. LBRY's use isn't just cryptocurrency, but it does have its own token LBC. This token is a utility token, meaning it has a specific purpose within LBRY and is valued for its use rather than as a financial investment. There are many ways to earn this token. View rewards on Odysee give creators LBC earnings per each verified view, and viewers can also tip their favorite creator. Even if you are not a content creator, you can earn through completing tasks such as interacting, watching, following, etc.
1.Ecency
Ecency is a blockchain-based decentralized social network - powered by Hive. Hive is a blockchain designed to be a fast, feeless, decentralized, and uncensored platform. Tokens on the Hive blockchain are called HIVE, HIVE DOLLARS (HBD), and HIVE POWER (HP). There are many content publishing websites built on the HIVE blockchain, like Ecency, Peakd, Leofinance, etc. Each of these websites has its pros and cons, which we will discuss in a later article, but for now, let's just talk about Ecency.
Ecency rewards content creators with tokens (HIVE, HIVE DOLLARS, HIVE POWER) as well as Points. Points are non-crypto items that could be utilized within the platform and traded for goods and services like promoting, boosting, and gifting. Ecency has a built-in cryptocurrency wallet that allows the Ecency community to manage their Hive, HBD, Hive Power, Savings, and other different tokens. So an Ecency wallet provides all the features that are necessary for safe and secure transfers.
These 6 websites are the best publishing platforms for content creators to earn crypto so far. However, it should be noted that these platforms are at the early stages of development and have a long way to become mature.
