I suggest to come up with your own buyable products (tutorials, how-to's, etc..) and show half of it (teaser) to everyone and allow to see the rest to paid members.
Then you may charge per download, or full access based on recurring membership fee.
You may also offer free membership to capture emails and then market to interested visitors further.
Whoring your traffic to other people's platforms or products leaves no residual value to you and makes you vulnerable to other people TOS'es, moods and playrules.
The point is to use Google what it's good for - to send you prospects.
Your task is to capture prospect's contacts and establish relationships with them.
Begging for Adsense peanuts is unsustainable strategy as many people are finding out the hard way.
(PS: I worked on bulding membership site software that allows you to do just that with a few clicks)
- scotchio 13y agoThanks for your feedback. Yeah, this is probably the direction we will eventually have to go. I really like this approach, but we'd rather focus on the content and articles now versus, say, the business side of it - unless it grows into something bigger. My other thought was to put new articles up with a community-based bitcoin paywall. Basically if we receive "X" donations from the community, this article becomes public forever. I'm not sure how that will be received by our user base though (tech, web developers).
- gesman 13y agoI'm actually the one who created free Bitcoin plugin for Wordpress/WooCommerce as well :) https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommer... Feel free to utilize it for that purpose. It could be a great strategy.
