Bitcoin Innovators Social Network

[uMMcQxCWELNzkt]

Yesterday I registered and launched [ bitcoininnovators.com ]. I already have a Google+ community established called 'Bitcoin Innovators' which is where I had the idea to start up this new Bitcoin social platform. There are no ads, no fees and I am looking forward to adding new features and Bitcoin related content as the project grows. The site is not 100% finished however it is functional and well worth a look. You can check us out here.

We now have a Portugal forum  , great to see the first few members and a new group forum already. As a result I have also added a translator which should make the site more accessible for non English speakers.

I like the idea of a social network were we are n the product being sold, and if we are going to be, at least we can make some money buy being it.

Do you have a monetization strategy, or is it to early?

Great design btw.

I have ideas for monetization however I will only bother with unobtrusive options that actually add value, I wont be adding ads or anything. A good example is the directory page I added recently, in the future I might charge a small free for members to list their commercial project/service/store on the page. This keeps promotions out of the way unless of-course members are actively searching for Bitcoin services in the directory. Listings are free at the moment though for those reading this who might want to add content there.

Making money is not my priority for this project and I am happy to host and run at my own expense to be honest. I want Bitcoin to succeed because I am tiered of FIAT, and before I go into a rant, basically I want to grow the Bitcoin community and maybe even support new projects from the platform.

Nice design!

A few kinks:

http://bitcoininnovators.com/about-us not working

I like it how it lets me login with google, facebook or any other account I already have, not.

Bitcoin Innovators is a title from my Google+ group which is already established and has over 200 members. I created bitcoininnovators.com for all of those members so I am not just referencing myself who I would consider far from being an innovator  . Also thanks for pointing out the "about us" issue, I was not aware there was still a link to it. I will sort that out soon.

I only registered the domain name yesterday remember lol.
