Hello everyone! [b]Best wishes to you all, for 2024![/b] 🎇 🙏 ✨
[b]We've recently made progress in implementation and testing of the SW Monetization Program[/b], which we first made mention of, back in October 2022:
[i]💰 Profit from Your SimilarWorlds Content 💸 https://similarworlds.com/groups/admin-announcements/4497952-Profit-from-Your-SimilarWorlds-Content[/i]
Three key components we are exploring at this time for SW Monetization, are:
[c=005E2F][b]● Ads Revenue Share[/b][/c] [u]Earn 90% of All Ad Revenue[/u] generated from Ads shown on your Content & Profile.
[c=005E2F][b]● User Referral Revenue[/b][/c] [u]Earn 5%[/u] of All Ad Revenue generated from Ads shown on the Content & Profiles of [u]All "Valid Invitees" you bring[/u] to SimilarWorlds.
[c=005E2F][b]● Premium Content Revenue[/b][/c] Profit from Premium (Subscriber-only) Content you produce on SimilarWorlds. Content such as: Topics you have expert experience or knowledge in, or any other legitimate content you can monetize on SimilarWorlds.
Comparison between SimilarWorlds and the other few platforms that offer User Revenue Sharing:

[big][c=005E2F]Ads Revenue Share[/c] 💸 💰[/big]
[u]Earn 90% of All Ad Revenue[/u] generated from Ads shown on your Content & Profile.
Here are some preliminary Data / Results (anonymized), from our recent tests. [i](Based on 2000+ Qualifying, Registered Users, who have been active on SimilarWorlds over the past week.)[/i]
Estimated Revenue Share Earnings ($USD) over the past 7 days:

We are still fine-tuning many aspects of this monetization program. We wanted to let our users know that so far, things are looking "Good", 👌👍 and it seems possible for the while, for us to progress forward with implementing this idea.
[u]Earn 5%[/u] of All Ad Revenue generated from Ads shown on the Content & Profiles of [u]All "Valid Invitees" you brought[/u] to SimilarWorlds.
For example: If you invited "200 users" to SimilarWorlds, and then, each of those 200 users eventually earned a combined average of "$100/month" in Ad Revenue;
You would then in-turn be [b]paid "$1000 USD per month" by SimilarWorlds, simply off of "Referral Revenue", only[/b].
(Not counting whatever you may also earn directly (90%) from your own content.)
Some preliminary Data / Results of User Invites:
[c=666666][i](The displayed data is not yet Finalized or Officiated.)[/i][/c]
We are considering tapering off this "5%" amount, over the course of 5-10 years (-0.5% or -1% per year), which will be Donated to Charities (of which users can vote on), instead of being funneled back into the SimilarWorlds' hands.
Part of the reason for this, is to avoid incentivizing a "Pyramid Scheme" type of mentality, where some users are mostly aiming to blast out spammy invites to as many as they can, early, with the aim of sitting on non-ending recurring income for 10-20+ years, while their Invitees do all the work of generating good content for the platform.
Profit from Premium (Subscriber-only) Content you produce on SimilarWorlds.
Content such as: Topics you have expert experience or knowledge in, or any other legitimate content you can monetize on SimilarWorlds.
We will likely Not allow very Explicit Content, as we already don't allow to be posted publicly on this platform, and of course, no Illegal or other types of Extreme content.
We have some good ideas already being discussed, as to how this can be best done. We will share more about these ideas, in the near future.

[u]Note:[/u] We may also later consider a Service / Freelance Marketplace.
We've seen many users post amazing artwork and designs on SimilarWorlds, for example, as well as many other monetizable skills and services, which other fellow SW users may be happy to pay for.
We won't make such features the core of our platform, however, they could be useful additions, to aid users in supporting themselves financially, as well as providing means for users to support each other.

Thanks for your attention, and best wishes to you all! ✨ 👍
Kind regards, [i]-The SW Team[/i]

@Andrew how does it work for the catfish accounts here that steal pictures? Are they allowed to monetize that content to make money off of stolen content from Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, Porn based websites.
This happens so much here so I am wondering how you’re going to manage this?
@iamonfire696 I think someone would have to be real popular, have their act together, have sponsors, and have a lot of content to make any money off a social site.
Catfish have very little to work with and would never even make it off the ground level. Even if they were to steal a ton of photos of the same model, they would soon get caught SO I do not see the catfish profiting.
@iamonfire696 Yeah to get paid one would have to have their real life info on file.
but like I said, any given catfish wouldn't be able to fake enough content to make bank. I mean lucrative people on social media usually have tons of content.
@iamonfire696 Oh my GAWD you know what? I might be wrong though. SOME catfish on here have been getting paid since long before "paid content" was even though of by the admins. One BS, I mean content creater on here who is a catfish earned like $25,000 over a few years. But it wasn't the SW admins who shell'ed out.
@iamonfire696 I cannot even get my head around that. Most anyone has offered me on here is VIP and that is usually the simps who offer to anyone with an "F" by their name.
