Writers

How can we help writers earn meaningful, reliable income?

Open edition NFTs haven’t quite gotten us there, so we have to find a better solution.

We wrote a couple posts on why we think coins may be a better model (part 1 below) — we'd love to hear what you think.

We'd deeply appreciate any thoughts on how we can build a better economic model for writing.

I'd be concerned that coins don't have enough cash flow / ongoing value. In terms of earning a sustainable living, nothing really beats subscriptions

ah okay, the coin model does make sense there. I'm skeptical that it could ever be a sustainable means of making a living though

The challenge is that subscriptions work best for a specific type of writer:
- recurring
- longer-form
- in-depth
- paywalled (thus decreasing distribution)

If someone posts a couple banger essays a year and wants them to be distributed as far & wide as possible, it's very improbable they could make subscriptions work. 

These are the type of things we're excited about finding ways to reward & increase distribution.
