Excited
Welcome.
Here we go again. An Idea I feel I really need to scratch has crept up on me. I've received a lot of questions from people about how am I going to go about making money off of this or making it worth my time. Of course, I always reply that this is really a throwback idea from some old friends of mine, and I'm the type of person that just likes to create stuff on the fly if possible. I've also had the unexpected return of gaining exposure on some career fronts and moving onto better things. I don't need the money to drive this site, because it is something I enjoy doing and put my own money into to make happen. Something has hit me like a brick though, and I figured if this thing ever became something that is pay worthy, it would just kind of happen. I am going to make a solid attempt to monetize, and I want to make some guarantees to any current or potential future users of my site as long as I'm the owner.
1. There will never be ads served up all over my site home pages or informational pages.
- I'm not a fan of all the clutter and I feel the absence of all that nonsense better enables people to experience the spirit of my site.
- Advertisements would only ever be served in my members section and only if you're a member that is using the FREE service. They will be off to the side and banner like. NO POP-UPS, OR VIDEO/AUDIO BASED ridiculousness. If the ad does involve sound or video you will be allowed to listen or view to your choosing. They WILL NOT auto-play.
2. Paying members will never be served ads of any kind.
- If you've deemed my service worthy enough for payment. I appreciate you for making my service better and your support. All the while you get to enjoy your message limit increases and increased functionality that comes with paid membership undisturbed.
This is the stance I am taking on trying to make money on the web. It may not be the most realistic or smart money man's game to play, but at the same time if it is that good, people will talk about it, like it, and it will pay for itself. This works like every other product anyone has sold and been successful with. In my eyes the Internet is no different.
