RE: How to help Steemit to grow. Ideas + invitation to the brainstorm | club75

It will be an opportunity for anyone who develops a new front end for Steem to include advertising. Profits from ads could be shared with users to encourage usage.

Maybe one for @the-gorilla, @starlord28 & co.

Thanks for thinking of me and thanks to @o1eh for the suggestion.

I'm not a huge fan of banner ads on websites, especially as so many people use an ad-blocker these days. I did look into it and found this:

Previous Doubleclick data shows just than 5 clicks per 10000 impressions, showing the difficulty of driving direct response from online display or banner ads. Perhaps that is why Google no longer publishes this data. Source

Which equates to only 0.05% which for me, isn't enough to warrant compromising the User Experience for.

I think... this is partially due to advertisers seeking a return on investment themselves and will therefore also only pay once they see a "conversion". E.g. Getting paid 10% by a bookmaker for the amount of money somebody loses on their website for the first 3 months or with Amazon, I think a referrer gets 1% or 2% of that person's sales for a month.

I'll let my subconscious work on this a little more.

Hi! I respect your opinion very much. I agree that a site without advertising is much better, but it may not be oversaturated with ad units. 1-2 blocks are enough.

Here are real statistics from my two sites. These are completely abandoned sites, they are non-optimized, non-commercial, one about birds, the other popular science. In addition, the price of advertising in Ukraine is ten times lower than in Europe. Therefore, these statistics can be considered as the worst option.

According to this report, with 67,321 views, the profit is $ 23.40 USD. That is, with 5 million views, the profit will be 1738 USD. Steemit's traffic is about 5.3 million a day, and the price of advertising will be higher, so I expect profits to be much higher.

P.S. Sorry for this image, I have problems with the laptop.

Those numbers surprise me so I certainly won't totally dismiss the idea. The templates I'd initially considered working with don't work well enough with the Steemit content so I've found a new one this morning which will work better for the content and could cater for advertising fairly easily so we'll see where things take us 🙂

Glad to hear it. This idea can be developed and modified. It doesn't have to be Google Adsence, it may be a cryptocurrency ad. I think this can still be discussed.

Glad the work is going. I've noticed that you've become less active, so development takes a long time.

Lots of reasons really and I don't get a lot of time to do all of the things that I wish I had time to do. I certainly don't read, comment or post as much as I'd like to at the moment - I'm content so long as I have enough time to win the Fantasy Football 😄

Hola, una de mi ideas para que steemit, pueda crecer, es dejar de tener privilegios, que todos seamos iguales, que se nos tomé en cuenta por el señor o señora @steemcurator01, @steemcurator02, que se tome más en cuenta a los usuarios, ya que gracias a nosotros steemit es lo que es hoy en día, aquí solo hay favoritismo por un grupo reducido de algunos líderes y moderadores. Lo digo con propiedad, y de seguir así steemit se viene abajo, no valoran nuestros post, y se nos ignora. Cambien de actitud y verán que volverá a crecer y sera la mejor. Hay una moderadora con privilegio que en sus telegram, nos dicen en forma de burla, que si nos va mal aquí, busquemos suerte en otras plataformas. Y tiene razón, no importa de la forma que lo haya dicho.
Le piden al usuario que voten, y comenten y ellos no lo hacen. Quieren crecer? Vuelvan a ser como lo eran antes. Todo lo que el hombre SEMBRARE, eso recogerá.
Muchos se han ido y los que se irán.
Gracias expuse mis ideas. Bay bay.

I've often seen the steemcurator accused of bias towards certain leaders and moderators and it's inevitable that they support a core group of people that they believe are working towards improving Steemit, or making a contribution that others perhaps aren't making. At times, this support will appear misguided or misplaced, particularly by users who do not receive this support.

Perhaps the only way that you can guarantee that we are equal is if the steemcurator and booming accounts stop upvoting entirely? Then the community will be more akin to how it was before with "every man for himself".

Todo lo que el hombre SEMBRARE, eso recogerá.

This is very much true of the privileged moderator who mocks you. It only requires one of you who they are mocking to share this with the community for their privileges to be gone, and the self-fulfilling prophecy of finding luck on other platforms becoming a necessity.

Hola saludos, entiendo tu punto de vista apreciado amigo, bueno te cuento ya esa moderadora está recibiendo su lección. Todas aquellas personas y la mayoría mujeres que le reían y le apoyaban sus comentarios mal sano, se han dado cuenta y su popularidad está desapareciendo poco a poco, de echo ya casi ni la siguen. No me alegro, solo se, que Dios es justo y no se goza de la injusticia, lo mejor es dejar todo en sus manos. Muchas gracias por tu respuesta, te deseo éxito y muchas bendiciones ❤️.

Gracias por leer mi comentario espero no haber ofendido al exponer mi idea y lo que he venido sintiendo, no solo yo sino otros usuarios que hemos compartido el mismo sentir y que a traves de esta, he conocido e intercambiado números de teléfono, desde hace mucho tiempo. Espero que está plataforma surja y cresza. 🙋 Fue un placer.

I've heard it said many times before, steemcurator has an impossible job pleasing everybody. If you take a look at the replies they get, there's a lot of people asking why they don't receive support or asking for an upvote.

Steemit can be incredibly hard work as you know and the rewards rarely feel like they match the effort that's put in. So I always feel that there needs to be more than just rewards in the mind 🤔

Yup, I'll ramp up my development efforts as soon as I recover from covid :)
