This afternoon I decided to try Yours.org, a site where you can write articles, decide what to charge for them, and get paid in bitcoin cash. I had an idea: If you pay and then a section is revealed to you, that doesn’t have to be just for articles. It can be used for anything digital!
A few ideas:
- Podcasts
- Photo filter packs for Lightroom
- Digital art
- eBooks
- Word and Powerpoint templates
- Photoshop and Illustrator files
- Music
- Videos
- WordPress themes
So, I decided to test it out. I packaged up four sets of national parks photos, put a thumbnail grid in the preview, and put a download link in the paid section:
- 30 Royalty Free Photos of Glacier National Park
- 18 High Resolution, Royalty Free Photos of Yosemite National Park
- 16 High Resolution, Royalty Free Photos of Point Reyes National Seashore
- The Colors and Textures of Yellowstone National Park
I’m testing three different price points: $15, $10, and $5.
I also wrote a piece on how to use Yours.org for selling digital products. I priced it at $2.
In just a few hours I made over $40 in bitcoin cash! It is super exciting seeing the notifications come in while you are reading other articles. I think that the notifications are tied to transaction verifications because they come in waves. That must be when blocks get processed and transactions verified.
