Hey I'm seeing a bit of talk about marketing right now and want to share an idea about groups of people with medium to large followings who are actively looking for as many ways to make money as possible. This also has the added benefit of being low-key as well, and it doesn't look like many people have gone down this avenue yet.
Sites like twitch.tv are full of content creators that have tens of thousands of viewers of people who literally play games all day (quite a few do this as a full time job and stream for over 8 hours a day) and survive on donations alone. Many of the streamers are being rejected for Amazon partnerships because they "don't generate enough profit". I've heard that quoted many times. I feel like getting these people to accept donations in crypto would be a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of.
Currently, people have the option of donating to them directly through paypal, or subscribing to them through the website for 4.99 USD. While I'm not saying that the subscription should be replaced, I think donations in crypto would be well received by both the site as well as the streamer.
The value in this is that even for as little a donation of $2 (many take less), the person's name is generally read out loud along with a message that is sent to the streamer. Usually they also mention how much was donated as well, and the donation system is set up to display the currency donated, nickname of the donator, and their message right on the viewers screen. We're talking about hundreds of donations an hour, all being read out loud, and seen by everyone watching these people play games. Imagine if everyone viewing the stream saw that the donation was in Bitcoin, or Darkcoin . . that would be almost free marketing compared to alternatives.
I'm not saying actively market in the message you can send these people, more that you could get the amount donated to show up as Bitcoin or Darkcoin donated rather than USD.
Some streamers already post crypto addresses, but usually fail to mention the donation when given. If someone could work out a payment system similar to the one they already use so that the donation can pop up automatically, and work with these people to start announcing crypto donations the same way they already mention fiat donations there could be tremendous value in that. Another easy 100-200k people and more on twitch alone.
