Bitcoin Forum

Our partners at NewsBTC are now franchising! No investment required--they give you a pre-designed site with hosting, and you get to run your own enterprise. Korea, Africa and Midwest USA coming soon.

We are continuing to expand. Please reach out if you're interested in writing, editing, publishing, or marketing. We can help you get your franchise off the ground with consultation on the aforementioned, as well as marketing support.

You can see the terms here: http://www.newsbtc.com/franchise/

Interesting.. a NewsBTC franchise for local BTC News?

Yes, including some local-language content where the local language is not English. Stay on top of what's going on in your neighborhood.

Sounds great! I'd like to see a local version of it on my country. Maybe I could apply on it too. Very interesting indeed.

You're welcome to apply. What is your country of residence?

Just filled out the form. I look forward to your response :)

I've sent my application and sent you a private message to answer your question. Hopefully you'll take time to read my application. Thank you!

seems very interesting! I'll get some contacts and get back on this

Thanks for your interest, guys! We've already received several applications. You can post here or send a message with any questions.

Do you set  Advertising revenue targets that the franchisee must meet?

Awesome News

Sent an email over today to media, thanks!

VietBet

There are no specific advertising revenue requirements, but there is a minimum daily content amount requirement. You can see the terms at http://www.newsbtc.com/franchise/

OUR MISSION. YOUR MISSION!

Our mission is to support, report and engage with the bitcoin community. We believe that digital currency is the future of global economy and keeping oneself updated about the happenings in the sector is empowerment. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are global currencies and everyone across the world should rightfully have access to information about them.

yea nice Job NewsBTC to keep Bitcoin Investro, also some people not know bitcoin, now will be interesting about BTC

There are currently 6 franchisees in the NewsBTC franchise. The regions covered are:

• USA Midwest
• USA West
• Canada
• Korea
• West Africa
• East Africa
• South Africa

The list is still growing. Let us know if you want to join one of the aforementioned teams or start your own in a new region!

The idea is good, but as an publisher I don't think it is beneficial regarding ad income.

There a dozen free CMS's out there, as in your selling points are inferior towards Google Adsense.

But, yes there is always a but, good luck!

Where Big market chinese ?

Franchising with us is also free, except for the revenue share. If 30% seems steep, consider the benefits:

• NewsBTC not only pays for the CMS and web design, but the hosting, as well. Your only responsibility is content and advertisers.
• Most importantly, we have an existing brand. If you start your own news site, you are likely starting from scratch in terms of PR. Your NewsBTC franchise, however, would be a subdomain of NewsBTC linked to from the main page, so you'll have a much larger starting audience who would otherwise cost time and money.
• Our team contains marketing professionals who've been doing this for a while (before Bitcoin), and a well-known Bitcoin advocate/expert. Our consultation and networking connections come free.

As for China, we would love to have a franchise in China. Send a message if you know anybody who wants to do that.

NewsBTC Franchise opportunity is HOT!!! Going Fast!!! NewsBTC WestUSA

I made an application for the Philippines! Is NewsBTC interedted in having a PH franchise?

Sorry if we missed it; we've been totally swamped. Anyone with an application for the Philippines, please resend to contact@newsbtc.com

Looks great, do you offer franchise in India and China?

Anywhere in the world. We're actively looking for leads in China.

Who will be own the local content after the end of franchise agreement?

the franchise is a long term arrangement, and the content hosted on it will belong to the brand, and the rights are transferable to a new franchise in the region (in case of change in franchise).
but the franchise will be licensed to use the content as deemed fit
what region are you from?

We're still a couple weeks away from having the franchise sites up and running, but some of them are already getting organized. Coineer is now NewsBTC Canada: http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/06/15/coineer-magazine-to-re-brand-as-newsbtc-canada/ :)

We're back! (Coineer that is :D)

The creators at Coineer are thrilled to be part of NewsBTC group and everyone only has good things to look forward to as we move ahead.

We have big plans for bringing news and excitement to the cryptocurrency community that has previously been unseen and will be ramping up our activity very soon.

The website says "upto 70%"
Any idea on how the revenue sharing model will work? Is it going to vary depending on the revenue?

Are you really able to provide tech that is finding BTC news for USA Midwest and USA West?
With different language, it usually works very well, but the same language and same country with different local regions  ???

NewsBTC takes 30% flat, no variation to my knowledge. You may end getting less than 70%, however, if someone else found an advertiser for you and requested a commission. NewsBTC itself will share advertising leads for free, but we can't control what other people do.


There's a lot of information that is primarily important to locals. New businesses such as grocery stores or restaurants accepting Bitcoin in the area are a great example.

There are increasing amounts of localized activity in many regions so having news that is relevant to those areas is very helpful.

We will be covering a lot of local news here in Canada because there is a lot of crypto activity here. We also plan on offering insights on World crypto news as it is relevant to our regions. Based on this regionality it is very easy to provide insight into the same story but from different perspectives as they affect areas differently.

Another example: Compliance issues (a.k.a. AML/KYC regulations) are fundamentally different wherever laws differ. So for commenting on regulations of this sort the territory being reported from is a big factor. In Canada this is an issue handled completely differently from the U.S. and in the U.S. it can be broken down state-by-state. Gaining insight from these specific regions can be informative for people from those regions (instead of getting only the broad World view) and can also give insight for people in other regions for comparative or other purposes.

As Bitcoin continues to drill down further into various sub-sectors of the World economy, so too should the media that covers it's progress. We will be there as these things unfold, locally and globally.

The NewsBTC East Africa press release is out: http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/06/22/newsbtc-expands-into-africa/

The NewsBTC franchise is coming along nicely worldwide. So far there are 10 franchisees in the following 13 regions:

• USA Midwest
• USA West
• USA South
• USA Northeast
• Canada
• Colombia
• Chile
• United Kingdom
• West Africa
• East Africa

Very nice to see this development.

I would also like to see a local version of germany.
We need some push for germany that people accept bitcoins.

That's a nice market to get into - would you or do you know anyone in Germany who would be interested in doing a NewsBTC Germany Franchise?

The list continues to grow... soon he'll have a handy map for you all. For now, here are the latest press releases:

Latest press releases are out. Welcome our new additions to the franchises:

• West Africa (http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/06/26/newsbtc-expands-into-west-africa/)

Franchising as an Internet company is a very interesting step and i look forward to seeing where it will lead.
Is there any example of any of the biggest internet companies franchising too?

This is a good innovations but it seems it is not yet available worldwide. This would be a gold mine for everybody when it become a global affairs.

It is available worldwide. Any region can become a franchise.

That is good to know, I will signup now. Thank you for sharing.

Nice....

NewsBTC shall not rest until Bitcoin touches every corner of the globe. Here you can see all of the regional franchises established so far, along with their official boundaries. Join before it's too late!

NewsBTC's redesigned website is live, and the franchise begins rolling out tomorrow. We have a couple more franchisees, and now cover the majority of the world's population and land surface. Check out the new map:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJuLBliVAAE4Odu.png:large

Great to see the list is rising! However, you still haven't managed to partner with someone in Europe. It would be great to see a NewsBTC Franschise in my country.

Which country is that? We would love to be there. You can send me a private message with contact info if you or someone you know is interested.

EDIT: Are you in Portgual? We'd love to hit up the Portuguese-speaking market, especially Brazil, which is a huge white spot right now.

Two of the franchises are already live, with more on the way. You can see the Philippines at ph.newsbtc.com (http://ph.newsbtc.com), and Latin America at http://lta.newsbtc.com/ (http://lta.newsbtc.com/). We've also managed to spread to the Arabic world, covering the last of the African continent. Check out the new franchise map:

Haven't heard of them before. Now am interested after seeing this post.
I for on appreciates the spreading of this magazine of bitcoin as it continues to grow and prosper.
Will be following on facebook to get updated up to the minute on it's progress.
Go Newsbtc!  ;)

Thanks! Also, we forgot to mention that the Canada franchise is also live--it's just that it doesn't yet work on the drop-down menu: http://ca.newsbtc.com/ (http://ca.newsbtc.com/)

The NewsBTC franchise continues to grow at an impressive rate. Several more countries are on the way, including Sweden, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey and Greece. We're also tinkering with the website and its subdomains as we speak, and will have more of the franchises live soon. Check out the new regional map:

http://s11.postimg.org/41ehway4j/News_BTC_Franchise_Map.png

If I had the time I'd consider tackling the Dutch market, but my time is very limited atm .. But I noticed your post in the Dutch subforum is getting quite some attention :)

NewsBTC (http://www.newsbtc.com) is still chugging along. The Latin American (http://lta.newsbtc.com) franchise got 800 views 2 days in a row, and we're super proud of Pedro Rivera for setting an example and proving we can make this work. We expect some advertisers there, soon.

Mexico is going to be its own franchise, now, and we're actively looking for a manager there. There are also openings in the Caribbean, Indonesia, and all of mainland Western and Central Europe. Running your own Bitcoin news outlet is still free worldwide--send a message if you're interested. 8)

Interesting offer, but as stated on your website, what kind of support would you be giving out in terms of strategy, marketing, sales, business process and more.

Our team has been successful in the publishing business for several years; for people who are only experienced at Bitcoin, they'll help guide you through your business process.

I've been successfully spreading Bitcoin brands on a very small budget for several years. As a result, I operate several related social media accounts, and will help you build a following. I'm also working with the other franchisees on some internal programs to boost everyone's publicity.

The regional franchise map hasn't changed much since last we posted; we've mostly been focusing on development and getting the existing outlets up and running. There are now a dozen on the drop-down menu with their education sections translated, and at least half of them are already posting articles. We tested out our PR program for generating targeted traffic boosts, and it worked out pretty well.

Our viewer statistics continue to improve. Our number of unique daily visitors was over 9,000 on Sunday, a new record; our Alexa ranking is also still climbing, now finally under 50K. Things are looking up!

We also did some reorganizing. NewsBTC's West Africa, East Africa and South Africa franchisees have been united (http://af.newsbtc.com/new-team-poised-to-deepen-penetration-of-newsbtc-in-africa/) under one banner. Good job Sam Yohannes! Now that most of our existing franchisees are up and running, we're hoping to find some more. Let us know if you're interested!

The NewsBTC franchise continues to grow, and as a result, newsbtc.com's Alexa ranking is about to drop below 40K for the first time. This means we're already a top Bitcoin news site, and our growth rate suggests this trend will continue.

In other news, administration of the NewsBTC Canada franchise has been taken over by the Bitcoin Co-op due to inactivity and mismanagement. We will divide all revenue generated equitably among employees, in keeping with Co-op principles.

Also, we need another manager for the United States, who will become a stakeholder in the franchise. NewsBTC USA Midwest and South are lacking in representation. We're also still searching actively for potential franchisees in Europe and Southeast Asia

http://s3.amazonaws.com/main-newsbtc-images/2015/10/09161148/Bitcoincoop-Newsbtc-Canada.-Illustration..png (http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/10/09/newsbtc-ca-acquired-by-co-op/)

The Bitcoin Co-op is the new owner of NewsBTC Canada, and has established an egalitarian management style with a focus on the local community. Please let us know if you're interested in writing or advertising. You can read about the acquisition in more detail here (http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/10/09/newsbtc-ca-acquired-by-co-op/).

It is good. I will consider it when I need.

NewsBTC (http://www.newsbtc.com) and its franchisees have been developing some amazing partnerships. We're strategically placing ourselves for the coming waves of decentralization, working with projects like:

• DECENT (http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/10/11/newsbtc-partnership-decent/), a blockchain-based peer-to-peer network that allows content creators to publish and profit from their work without going through a middle man. It's censorship-free, and they've made freedom of speech a huge part of their campaign.
• Coin Forum (https://coinforum.ca/), a Bitcoin forum by Canadians, for Canadians. The Bitcoin Co-op has been a part of their community for a while.
• Death Row Democracy (http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/10/20/newsbtc-partnership-drd/), the first TV series made with Bitcoin for Bitcoin. Both fundraising and publication have been decentralized, and we'll be covering their every move.

http://s23.postimg.org/z8ywwgjh7/News_BTC_Franchise_Map.png

NewsBTC USA has been consolidated into a single franchise outlet, and is now up for grabs. Let us know if you're reading to take our coverage in America to the next level, and you could be the new owner. We're also still looking for new franchisees in Europe and Southeast Asia.

Apologies for being out of touch; it's been a busy time. NewsBTC, however, has still been chugging along, as has its franchisees. There were some ups and downs, but the future is looking brighter than ever.

We briefly had an chief editor named Tamer, despite the objections of a couple other employees (like me). Although he did a couple good things for our Google ranking, he was trolling Reddit and writing stories that look bad for Bitcoin (such as about ISIS links), so boss-man finally got rid of him. We have many new associates including Ruben Alexander from the old Bitcoin Magazine, instead. :)

We've since recovered fully and grown immensely. Although traffic has been quite sporadic--I personally haven't had much time to write, being currently stuck in a third world country--its peaks have been record highs for us. Our Alexa ranking has also continued to climb, and is now below 30K and still improving. We've also partnered with Ascribe (http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/12/17/newsbtc-partnership-ascribe/) in addition to our DECENT partnership, as we're very committed to blockchain-based content and rights management.

http://s15.postimg.org/g4n34q897/newsbtc_alexa.jpg

The NewsBTC franchise hasn't grown much in all the chaos, but existing franchisees have been benefiting from the growth of our brand. We're releasing some new programs and tools to support them, and have added some more organization to the whole thing to keep it together as it expands.

As part of these efforts, we've also revamped the NewsBTC franchise world map. Darker blue regions are going strong and not heavily in need of more partners or writers, while lighter blue regions are looking for additional partners to reinforce the domain by splitting its work load and ownership. The latter now includes Latin America, which--while still one of the strongest franchises (if not the)--recently lost some staff, and needs bolstering due to its size

http://s29.postimg.org/ru09kejav/newsbtc_map_current.png

Please let us know if you're interested in becoming a franchisee and running your own NewsBTC domain. Doing so remains free of charge, as always, except for the percentage we take from any ad revenue you generate in order to cover our expenses.

Thank you this is interesting.  Marking for later.

You're welcome! Anyone who wants to run a franchise, just send me a message.

Sorry we've been out of touch, everyone, it's just been a very busy time for us. We still have a lot of active franchisees, but our growth slowed to halt with our boss decided to experiment with charging for the franchised outlets. That experiment is over, and they are once again free. All other partnerships are still going on. Let us know if you want to bring the NewsBTC franchise to your neck of the woods!
