RE: Steemimg.com - Some Info, A Monetization Proposal for maintaining servers, and website analytics.
Hi.
Happy to help.
Can we purchase a licence in SBD for instance ?
Imho 5 SBD/year seems reasonable. or 20 SBD lifetime.
- 1st: some users would quit the platform and you may have more bandwidth
- 2nd: you will yield cash for you servers
- 3rd: you may attract new users with a nice promo campaign
Regarding point 3, I suggest you create a small banner that users would put in their posts (something like: Hosted on Steemimg).
You would also get revenues from the campaign on steemit, which I would be happy to relay personally on the forums and chat rooms.
Lmk if you need help. Your platform is awesome, and it needs to survive.
I do see the benefits of having Paid Memberships or cost per year License and this would defiantly have the potential to maintain the server costs but, and a big but, I really like keeping it free. It just seems like the way things should be on and around the steemit community. It's defiantly something i can dive deeper into, like upload plans by usage and need...
Having a banner, just in general, could be cool for people to sport on their posts if they desire ;) will need a solid design for that.
Thanks for the great comment.
Then the question is
How much to you need to keep it alive and free, up and running with 20,000 users daily (let's say).
After that, we will just launch a campaign for donation (count me in) + a Steemit posts .
What do you think ?
Its defiantly a possibility and a good idea. I really have to crunch the numbers to figure out what it will be costing at that 20,000 daily users, so I'll have to get back to you on that one. I have a feeling its costly. My next server upgrade will be pretty big so it may be the initial costs and then we go from there.
I'd definitely go for a premium subscription. I love this idea. :)
