Additional Income For Steemians Using Dclick
About six months ago, the monetization scheme for content creators on the STEEM blockchain was taken a step further with Dclick. Now users don’t have to depend solely on curators that may never appreciate their contents but can now easily place ads inside their content for additional monetization.
Dclick is a project aimed to connect content Creators and Advertisers. Creators can include an advertisement in the contents they create and receive rewards based on clicks and views on those advertisements. Advertisers can promote their own content on Dclick as well with almost no charge. Dclick is different from other advertisement platforms because the content producers receive more rewards compared to other platforms, and advertisers can promote their brand almost free of charge thanks to the use of STEEM's token economy.
Profit Maximization for Content Creators
Content Creators will receive rewards based on the number of impressions (views) and clicks on the links they place within their contents or blogs. At the same time, Advertisers are rewarded as well, compared to other platforms where Advertisers will have to pay some amount of money just to get their ads to pop up on various locations. For example, Google Adword users (advertisers) pay for keywords and those keywords will determine the kind of platforms their ads will pop on based on the meta-data of such platforms or web pages. In other words, Advertisers pay and Content Creators must meet certain requirements before they get the chance to monetize their contents on Admob or Adsense.
Cost Minimization for Producers
On Dclick, Advertisers get the chance to promote their products with almost no fee at all. However, it is important to know that nothing so valuable can be entirely free in the world we live in. Adverstisement fee has been compensated for by the Token-based reward distribution mechanism inherent on the STEEM blockchain. Therefore, both Content Creators and Advertisers can now maximize their rewards; thanks to Dclick.
Dclick enables a producer to minimize the cost of advertisement and maximize their profit by also putting up contents where they also get to partake of the daily share on the STEEM reward pool.
As users make use of Dclick, they earn tokens on the platform which they can in turn exchange for fiat or upvotes within the STEEM ecosystem. It is important to know that upvotes can also be readily converted to fiat once the content is up to seven days. In other words, whichever way, a user will get to lay their hands on fiat by participating on Dclick but the amazing thing is that the token itself has more than one use-cases.
One common limitation with Dapps on STEEM is that most of these dapps require you to be a member of the STEEM ecosystem before you can participate on those platforms but that is not the case with Dclick. This is because even visitors on your blog can click on ads displayed on your content without being a part of the STEEM ecosystem. In simpler terms, one does not need to be a member of the STEEM ecosystem or community to click and view the ads displayed inside your content. Dclick only takes record of the number of clicks and it doesn’t matter if the clicks are from members of the STEEM blockchain or not.
Get Rewarded for Delegating to Dclick
I will also like to let you know that aside advertising and content creation on Dclick, users can also delegate to Dclick for profits or income. Let me quickly show you how that works.

Those are the benefits of using Dclick. Users can enjoy this monetizing feature of the STEEM blockchain in a unique way using Dclick. I also believe that on the long-run, Dclick will be one of the most used dapps on the STEEM blockchain. This is because it will in my opinion, serve as a good replacement for centralized advertisement services like Google Adsense for example. However, I think the team should review some of the promises as I believe that some may not be realistic; looking at things from a broader perspective.
