đź’° Profit from Your SimilarWorlds Content đź’¸

Hello all!
We've had plans for a very long time, to [b]make SimilarWorlds into a platform where users can actually EARN from their shared content[/b].

[i][u]Our general idea is to:[/u][/i]

[big]Allow our users to [u]Earn 90%-100% of All Ad Revenue[/u] that is generated by their own content.[/big]

This includes the user's:
• [b]Posts[/b]
• [b]Profile[/b]
• [b]Photos & Albums[/b]
• other unique user generated content pages, that we may add in the future.

[i](The remaining ~10% does NOT go to us, as will be explained below.)[/i]

Initiatives of this nature aren't typically the easiest to pull off (involving mass distributed payments, timely billing cycles, contracts with payment processors, the legal work, etc...).

However, this is something we've always had a strong interest in doing, and we would like to work towards planning and developing this idea over the coming months.

With the world becoming increasingly more technologized and automated,
with the inevitable expansion of Artificial Intelligence around the horizon... 🤖

we believe that tech-based companies like ourselves, should play a part in long-term wealth distribution.


Even if we only will be playing a very small part in contributing to a more fair and balanced global financial ecosystem, we believe it may be the right direction for SimilarWorlds to move towards. 🌞

[i]Some Notes:[/i]

[big]Revenue Share đź’µ[/big]
1) Ideally we would like to pay users as much as we can manage to, for revenue generated by their own content.
Only when we reach the further stages of this plan, would we be able to confirm what the Pay-Share rate would be.

There's still many things to account for and calculate;
- Cost of 3rd-party services/processors
- Legal / Cross-border agreements
- Transaction and Tax Costs
- Margin of Error / Invalid Ad Clicks/Impressions
...etc

We can at least assure you that we will be working towards providing users with as large a share of generated ad earnings as we can reasonably offer.
Our aim is to be able to pay users 90%-100% Revenue Share. 🏆

[u]Note[/u]: "Own Content" (pages) refer to the actual Page/URL of your content (post, profile, albums, etc.)
This does not include "Directories" where previews of your content may appear (home feed, group pages, etc.)

[sep]

[big]Restricted Content â›”[/big]
2) Certain Types of Content are Not Ad-Monetizable, such as:
[b]- Adult
- Nudity
- Fetish
- Sensitive[/b]

Contrary to what we've seen many user's claim, we SW Admins do Not prefer to have, nor do we profit from, such content types existing on SimilarWorlds.

We have retained categorized allowance for these types of content, based on user's feedback,
whom overwhelmingly voted that we should continue to allow users to post Nudity and other Adult content types, as long as it is properly labeled as such.

[big]Earning from Referrals (~10%) đź“Š[/big]
A major part of this initiative that we would like to strongly consider, is to allow users to also profit by inviting users to use SimilarWorlds.

[quote][i](The remaining ~10% does NOT go to us, as will be explained below.)[/i]
[/quote]

As mentioned, we would like to give as much as feasibly possible, back to users in the form of revenue generated from content they have posted to SW.

At the same time, we do not want our site to become a "Spammy Network", nor do we want to encourage any type of "Pyramid Scheme / Multi-Level Marketing" revenue generation.

So this particular idea is something we still need to work out,
however in general, we are considering offering a split of user-content generated revenue, in the following manner:

[big]Content Poster: 90%
Referring User (Inviter): 10%
SimilarWorlds: 0%[/big]
[i](Total Revenue after transaction fees)[/i]


We aren't yet sure whether Referral Earnings should continue at the same rate indefinitely...

or, whether we should Taper-Off referral earnings each year, in order to keep a more balanced platform that doesn't unfairly favor only the earliest adopters.


[b]We also like the idea of contributing some portion of this remaining revenue share to 🎗 Charities Internationally.[/b] 💝
(If we do taper-off referral earnings, we may give the total remaining to charity.)

This post is intended just to bring this idea forward to you, our users,
and to allow us to listen to any feedback and ideas you may have with regards to this particular plan.

Please keep all comments/replies On-Topic, as should respectfully be the case on any user's post.


Kind regards,

Thank you. I love the idea. I think it is very wise. I appreciate your ability to predict problems and try to circumvent them. I am grateful that you and the team have the mental capacity to help similar worlds move forward as well as compete for its life, and for its community, and I’m each member. I understand as well, some of the “societal” benefits as well. I don’t know what else to call it. On a personal note, Similar worlds, thru it’s members has allowed me to grapple with inner conflicts, and conflicts I experience in life. I have also been able to keep up with changes in others, awareness of changes in perceptions, wisdom, intelligence, and ignorance. I personally will be an ordinary contributor at this time. But it is exciting to see you attempt this unique change and embrace possibilities, regardless if the motivation. Why? I have seen that as a very unique space … for any type of person.
Thank you creators … and ultimately I hope it helps especially in the way it was intended: medical field. Anon posting concept must be kept at the highest level and at least 2% should go towards paid development for software design, because it will always need to be updated, and updated more quickly, with best design available. Some new ideas work and some don’t. Those will change. Recruiters are as important as developers. Although you may be “enlightened” the human condition demands some type of reward for those who are not generating content. But then I only have a birds eye view of society. How will you be able to entice the best of the best engineers to contribute to developing the product beyond what “society” is willing or capable of? If you are thinking charity will keep it going… keep this in mind…. The educational system is supported by community support, but it is on the verge of collapsing because of the isolation of one community from the other. Media is exposing the wealth gap, the intelligence gap, but it is still not generating sufficient intelligent proactive thought. The very same media allows for many who aim to quash out small pockets of intelligence… non violent proactive movements. This can keep bad actors out, but also good ones who are on their own path towards what we hope is personal growth. Sigh. Glad your group, is in the job. I’m grateful to have access to S.W. And I truly appreciate you sharing this with all of us.

Great news. Move forward with out all the solutions, Bunt find a source of income for the very best software and server engineers and tech support that can manage a growing community. We haven’t tapped out society….and it’s changing as rapidly as the weather. So will your needs. You are all pioneers so if you move forward so will your solutions. Personally I am here because the ease, the anonymous nature of the site, and my need to feel connected although I feel alone.
Hope this gets read.wishing you the very best,
