While Twitter has been dominating the headlines, many of its users have been quietly jumping ship to test out decentralized social media networks. I believe this is a good idea because competition in any industry is crucial. As a business owner, when you know there's another business willing to cater to all your customers needs, it makes you reevaluate your business model. That's the situation we find ourselves in today.

DeSo is Changing the Game for Creators
In web3, creators are in control of not only their content, but of their entire social graph. With the emergence of decentralized social, creators now how the ability to monetize their content from day one and best of all, by having your social profile on the blockchain, you can take that same audience with you everywhere you go. Now, there's a new way for creators to monetize their content on the DeSo blockchain by micro tipping gated content with the CircleIt App.

What is Micro-tipping?

Micro-tipping is a way to show your appreciation for online content made by content creators. Micro-tipping is the act of giving small amounts of money in exchange for content. It’s a way for people to say thank you for things that they enjoy and the people they want to support.

Micro-tipping with CircleIt App

With the CircleIt App, creators can gate their content through micro-tipping. For example, if you write an amazing blog post, you can gate your content to only those who pay you by means of micro-tipping. The example below shows I can limit access to this content by requesting up to six diamonds. Diamonds are the equivalent to monetary denominations on DeSo. So, creators can potentially earn $40 dollars for each gated post. If you have 10 gated posts with each requesting say $4.00, you've still made $40. Creators, can you see the real potential here to earn another stream of income with DeSo?

Gated Content

Gated content is an important part of content marketing, but it's not something everyone's familiar with. Gated content is content that is kept behind a "gate" or a form of access restriction—in other words, it's content that is only available to those who have taken a specific action, in this case, micro-tipping. The purpose of gating content via micro-tipping is to generate instant income for your content.

The Benefits

One of the biggest benefits is that it allows you to know exactly what content resonates with your audience, so you can create more of it and it's a quick and easy way to generate instant income.  Another benefit is that it can help you to increase the perceived value of your content. If people have to pay to access it, they are more likely to appreciate and value the content more.

Micro-tipping As-A-Service

Micro-tipping is a great way to show appreciation for creators that you love. It's also a wonderful way for creators to make money instantly with their content. The best part about micro-tipping is that it’s easy to do with just one click. If you're an artist finally looking for a way to earn money from your content try CircleIt App.
