Starting a new Bitcoin business [http://bitcoinatmail.com]

[pinger]

Please submit you opinion.

// Update Dec 13 2015

* New registration form created, less 90s style. More clear about the type of users.
* 90 % of registered people in the form are users, the other 10 % are advertisers waiting for the beta to start.
* Pre-registration still open

//Update Dec 5 2015

The preregistration on the site is open. Preregistration gives you the right to ask for a invite when we open the beta period.

You can preregister two kinds of accounts.

User: Select user if you want to receive paid emails
Advertiser: Select advertiser if you have a bitcoin related business or if your company accepts bitcoin and wants to advertise.

Hello again, I just started the preregistration period. The idea is that nobody can join the site without an invite, so you would need an invite in order to access the site. Preregistering is the way you can get an invite and be the first users in using the site while in beta.

This is the first steep to get started but the back end is already in progress and can take a while until the website is operational. I really hope you guys likes the site, I was working hard on it even with my limited time and skills and would love to see it working and useful for the community.

HEADS UP! -> The registration is Only to get an invite when the site open in beta period, the site is not working yet.

Advertisers - This site is only to advertise Bitcoin related business, If your business accepts bitcoin as payment you are welcome to join.


I would love if you can give me feedback, if you see some typo or wrong sentences or something weird, just tell me. As you know, I'm not english speaker so I love people corrects me so I can make it right next time, I hope so.

I finally release the URL of the site: http://bitcoinatmail.com

Basically it's a GPT PTR site that uses Bitcoins.
Pretty scratched up idea, but you can make this work
If you market it well and have a great backend

The other question is for how much do you accept to receive this kind of mails ?

[RustyNomad]

I voted no but that is a personal choice.

I do however think something like this can and will work but it will depend on several factors. There will be a fine balance between making the payment, to the receivers, worthwhile versus the income you can earn from the advertisers. Most will sign up just to earn something but we all have a certain point under which we will not consider it worthwhile, the problem is finding that sweet spot where you can pay as little as possible yet get enough people to sign up.

Another problem will be with those that just signup and then send the mails to their trash bin. In order to keep advertisers you will have to get them some form of results from these campaigns so you will have to get some of your users to 'respond' to some of the ads. If not it will mean that the advertisers will eventually move on i.e. cancel their ads.

You can maybe look into something like a voucher type program where each advertiser offers something like a discount, a free service for first 10 who respond etc... This should work well via an email based type campaign and it will keep your users interested and should also get your advertisers results.

I voted for yes as I don't see any harm on this type of campaign as long as it doesn't try to trick the users... and as to your second question, I think as long as it wouldn't cover the 1/8 of my daily emails, that would be fine, maybe less than 5 daily ads sent to the mail so it won't make it annoying for the users

[misterycoins]

I voted for it depends. It depends on:

-how many mails do I get,
-how much I get paid,
-how ads related to me ( I mean categorical/personal ads)

If i get 5 daily related and paid ads mail , I can think of attending.

[OmegaStarScream]

It woud be a Yes if it's nothing spammy and make the user email looks like shit and if the amount paid really worth it , if not ... then I personally won't even think of using it (If we are speaking about amounts that faucets gives , I won't do it either) .

[nwfella]

Voted no as I'm relatively sure the nominal amount of BTC that would be received per e-mail ad wouldn't be worthwhile.

[pinger]

Thanks everybody that participate at the Poll. I decided to make a try and start the project (yes, I was learning again html, v5 this time) and decided to register BitcoinAtMail.com

Still lot of work to do and I hope to have your support when we at the end release the kraken.

Your ideas would be taken into account, so you can tell us now how do you want the service to be, so the maybe would become an absolute yes.

Again, Thanks for your support and your opinions about this project.

The other question is for how much do you accept to receive this kind of mails ?

Most sites pay $0.02 per click on mail, you better create a demand market where advertisers choose how much to pay and user choose how much to get paid, and of course u can profit a percentage from advertisers or points system.

check this site I have been on it on early 2000 I think, but that was long time ago, strange enough it's still online and paying and also implemented bitcoin, but I never like their interface it's still the same since than lol

[BitcoinSMM]

My answer is it depends on the amount of BTC I receive,  if it's too small or if you set higher amount for me to be able to withdraw,  I won't be interested.

[avatar_kiyoshi]

As long as the ads is not spamming an email it's not problem. and the amount is also need equal as ads on email, it's means if the ads is much and increasing, the amount free bitcoin is must equal.

[Raimonn]

It depends on how much do you pay for email. Could be interesting that users could try how many mails want to receive every day, some users could be interested but don't want to receive more than five emails each day (for example).

[pinger]

The idea I was moving right now, Is to just one mail per week, and you confirm by visiting the ad. If there is lets say 30 ads, you can just see 30 ads or just the one that you are interested. Still just on my mind, lots of programming remaining.

[USB-S]

It all depends on the amount and the effort user has to put in. If it requires the end user to click trough every ad that is sent to him, in return giving the same amount of money faucets give. Then many users will most likely opt out, since if they want to raid faucets, they will do that instead of waiting for new emails to pop up.

[wadii33]

i think it will be intresting because you can withdraw small amounts of bitcoin not like other ptc websites that you have to earn a lot of of money to withdraw

[HarryKPeters]

I like the idea, it is not new but for bitcoin it is. Question is though will you reach the masses and convince them to click on ads or read a mail for a few satoshi?

[LuckyYOU]

I would do it but will you screen your advetisers?

And how does it work?
Do you sent the mails on behave of the advertiser, or do you give the mailing list to advertisers?

In the last case i would not even consider joining your program.

What do you mean buy will you screen? The idea is that advertisers pay just for the confirmed visits not by the mails sent. Only one user per ip/computer, etc... But still thinking on how to do that on php without bothering too much on users/advertisers.

About the mails, I will handle it. Of course the mails of the users will be private all the time.

As I say, it's work under progress. Any idea of how do you want the site to be, it will be taken in consideration because I was at design phase.

Well basically the advertisers is pay for an ads which visited by user-email? so the payment is come from how much the ads visited, not for few period?
