Hello Bitcoin community!

I'm releasing http://www.bitcoinbetas.com today into the wild. Keep in mind this is in beta.

Anyone want wants to read about bitcoin related products and services and recieve bitcoin in return for doing so just sign up!

Reason to be an email reader?:

As a reader you get paid 0.005 btc to read email and another 0.005 btc to tweet/facebook like it . It isn't just about earning bitcoin (we know this is nice!) the content will be somewhat interesting to read and not just your standard advertising. No minimum payout needed as we payout every week. We feel we are the quickest and most effective way to get bitcoins into your little paws.

Why should I advertise to BitcoinBetas readers?:

First, its close to free as we are only asking a small donation to get listed. Also, as an advertiser to BitcoinBetas you tap into a proven marketing machine that email marketing has always been. It always on the top of the list in ROI for its advertisers. We thrown in the ability to tap in the social streams of peoples accounts and we think we provide a good way for you to market your bitcoin related business/service/product to such a diverse community as we have within Bitcoin.

It is harder and harder to get your message in front of the people who matter these days so we provide a intutive way to get your message across to your readers. We also can provide overal stats to each campaign on the website -  such as how much bitcoin spending power in bitcoins do our readers have , open/click rates for each campaign and key advertising on  landing spots throughout the website giving you the necessary exposure.

Finally...

We look forward to Bitcoin growing in 2012!! ;D

A Bitcoin email list? Cool, I wouldn't mind reading about the newest Bitcoin enterprises. Subscribed.

Sounds like a neat idea, signed up. Any way to create a pay-per-click (ppc) that pays in BTC?

Cool, thanks for the subscribed!  yes, bitcoin email list  - so people can see tibits of new bitcoin products & services.

Yes, working on that as we speak. At first its pretty rudimentary system but will build on it. Good suggestion!

Signed up and sent a small donation! Seems like an awesome service, I hope it does well!

Just FB/Twitter? No love for G+ or Diaspora?

Thanks so much CoinBul got it! You'll be added in the next few emails about to go out soon  ;D

Thanks Jay_Pal!

I'm in! :)

How are you going to make sure people are actually reading the e-mails?  Also, how will you prevent fraud?  E-mail and Bitcoin addresses aren't exactly scarce  :-X

How can we be sure you dont close down after a while, and sell the list of working emails to spammers?

Is it possible to unsubscribe again easily?

Thanks SirChiko!

Yes, its very easy to unsubscribe.  I suppose that is the risk but then again you can unsubscribe.

I have my ways  :P

First e-mail has been sent!

I signed up about over a week ago yet all I've been getting is more emails going to spam and I haven't recieved any emails from bitcoinsbetas that would actually earn me anyhting.Can you please look into this?
Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know.  Only one email has been sent out for pay - we are gearing up to send out more. Have you received the first one ?  Please let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

Heres the email I git (my email address is removed):

Also, we'll be including a removal link in every email we send you, so you can leave our list any time that suits you.

Thanks and get ready to receive your first e-mail for bitcoins very soon!

I havent recieved any emails after that one.

I'm looking into this as we speak. Currently, we are fine tuning some things and we'll be back in full production. I'll update this thread shortly  ;D

Clever. Signed up.  :)

Good to see some progress on fixing this. :-)

looking forward to receiving my first email...

Me too, make it an interesting one.

Well we see if this one will work or not.
I did subscribe so show me the money!!! eh bitcoin.

I signed up weeks ago and haven't gotten a single email. Is this project abandoned or something?

I could swear I read something about February. Maybe it's printing this month?

i really liked the idea, too.  send out some mails!

## update 03/01/2012 ##

Sorry, folks we haven't left the community we are just re-vamping some things. Building a more robust automated payment system so you receive your bitcoin payments in a timely manner. A better reporting system for advertisers so you can see exactly what was clicked on and how many people visited your advertisement.

In the meantime, our readership is growing very fast so this is very exciting!  ;D

Stay tuned....

## update end ##

## update 03/16/2012 ##

We are finally back up! http://www.bitcoinbetas.com

Some Key Additions:

For readers:

• Automatic Payments every week!
• We now Pay you bitcoins per open and per click!

For Advertisers:

• We'll post on our site the statistics for each email campaign
• We can reward for people clicking on your link in bitcoins

Any questions just ask thanks!

Good idea: I just signed up

I hate these kinds of sites.

Sorry, to hear that why is do you if I may ask ?  :-\

Think about it this way. You're paying people to read/click ads.
Why would people want to advertise on your site?

That's like trying to sell cars at a soup kitchen.

Maybe more like selling soup at a soup kitchen, and paying the soup kitchen the give samples of the advertiser's soup. ... Or something like that.

1) Not everyone who's clicking relevant ads (even when paid) are Bitcoin-poor
2) Not everyone who's clicking relevant ads are uninterested in the content

Because advertisers like it when people click/read their ads maybe ? ???

Or sell cars to the soup kitchen.

Thanks for signing up!  ;D

Until you have some proven statics proving that paid clicks/views are profitable for the advertiser then I don't see how this will help the advertiser out at all.

== Currently getting the next round of Advertisers!  which means more bitcoins for you all! == ;D

How's this going, what's the volume ?

Hi Finway,  volume as in what aspect?

You can see stats from the first bitcoin for pay e-mail here:
http://www.bitcoinbetas.com/advertiser.html

We are going to list each e-mail campaign on the website from here on out.

Thanks to the person who donated .05 BTC to the advertising pool!

Signed up also. I like to read, and I like to click. Sounds like a winning combination.

Great to hear! Unfortunately we haven't had that many advertiser add to the pool we are goin to lower the amount needed to send out emails to say 3 btc. It's costs us $5-10 to send out...thanks for signing up!

Are your emails sent from one unique email address or at least from one unique domain?
