Sincerely, I can feel your pain. It would not be that easy holding seminars, impacting knowledge requires time and sometimes energy. Moreso this is to help people get a better financial life too. But on 2 sides; considering that those people you are impacting may not be rich, it will be difficult to Bill them. But we are needed to be appreciated once a while for the effort/help delivered.

If it consumes a lot of your time, you might as well monetize but you should probably consider the audience first. You can group them if you want then choose which ones are for free or for a fee . For example, if you would be giving talks to students, maybe just give them a free pass. If the audience are employed or professionals in other fields, maybe request for a reasonable fee.
I have a thread in our local board about meetups/trainings/events in country which I update from time to time - Blockchain Meet Ups/Conferences/Trainings in the Philippines (incl. Fintech) As you can see, some of them are free and some are not.

When conducting an activity like this, it is always a thought in our mind to somehow get something from the hard work that we exert as a compensation though, the essence of voluntarism in conducting this seminar will not be perfect. But if we will not seek profit from the person whom we teach about cryptocurrency, I think it is okay for us to gain, why not film every seminar we made and upload it to youtube or other video streaming platforms where we could have views that will turn into profit, at the same time, we'll not just teach a group, but the whole world about the thoughts that we have in our mind.
that's what must be done, it doesn't hurt for example we want to post or upload videos or articles and what we want to write and explain about the cryptocurrency experience that we already have, and holding seminars and meetings to discuss crypto is not wrong, but this is simpler, though can be explained in detail but it's a waste of time in my opinion, so it's simple yes we can upload the video on YouTube so that people who open it can see and can learn to understand it.

There is nothing wrong with monetizing a seminar or meeting. These is what most of the experts are doing. They are offering free seminar and the next meetings will be paid but start for a small amount only. If you are passionate with what you are doing right now then you must learn too how to make money from it. Creating a youtube channel to share some important information regarding Bitcoin will do since your mission is to share anything related to Bitcoin and crypto in general right?
Motivational speakers right now are being paid to speak in different seminars right now. You can do it too. You can browse the internet if there are some seminars and meetings that are related to crypto and you can be a speaker there. You will be paid there and at the same, you can share what you know too.
P.S. I see your passion in spreading the information. There is nothing wrong in getting some rewards from it
. Just continue to do it if it really is your passion.

After holding the meeting a few days ago, the guys we talked to have been on our nerves. We aren't surprised tho cause we saw it coming. They come with different questions at different tines, phone calls and all, and there's no way we would refuse to continue tutoring them. It's not like I don't have the time but.... Something like this, isn't it worth being paid for? I mean, we informed them for free, and we gained nothing (just went back to our houses) and even after then, they still come with different challenges.
Some of them who were there when we announced the meeting date, they didn't come but still come back individually to request explanations. So I ask, is it wrong to monetize a bitcoin/cryptocurrency seminar/meeting? Cause we've gotten nothing for as long as we've worked.

Well,never share your phone number with many people.That's my first rule.
Second rule-If you wanna tutor those people without having to talk with them,just write everything you have to share in one ebook and share that ebook for free.You can include a "frequently asked questions"(FAQ) chapter in the ebook.
There's nothing wrong to charge a fee for your seminars,but your audience will be way less than before.

Why would it be wrong when you gave your time and efforts tutoring others about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? You shared your knowledge so it's okay to ask for even a small amount of fee. There's nothing free in this world. How about your expenses, transportation, food just to conduct the seminar? You'll be spending money but you don't get anything in return from the knowledge you share to other.
As long as they are learning and it's an informative seminar, it's worthy to pay. Why would you be afraid of asking a seminar fee?

It wasn't wrong. Why would it be? Conducting seminar needs time, efforts, learnings. So it is up to the lecturer if you conduct it for free or not. Since they are very much interested with your lectures and want to step forward for the new trend bitcoin, you can actually set a date and find a place. You can give them invitations which it included the reasonable target payment. Anyway, it is just a suggestion. The decision is yours.

Something like this, isn't it worth being paid for?
My short answer to that is yes, it is. There are plenty of motivational speakers and lecturers who provide stuff that's much less useful than what you probably are, and you know damn well they get paid plenty. There's no requirement for you to volunteer to spread your knowledge of crypto. Having said that, if I were you I would keep your fees reasonable just so you have the chance of attracting a larger audience.I'm just a youth who is struggling. Hence, it should at least earn me some cents (lol).
I agree with that, and if people are willing to pay for what you're offering....what's the problem? January 30, 2020, 03:23:26 PM
I think that it's fine to monetize any meeting, Bitcoin included. If you are wealthy, and you're doing it like volunteering, surely you would not collect money. But if you are a person who wants to do something good but also kind of needs money, it's fine. In that case, you have various options:
1. Set a fixed entrance fee.
2. Set a 'pay what you wish' fee.
3. Find a sponsor of the event, so that you get paid but participants don't need to pay.
I am not wealthy 😕. I'm just a youth who is struggling. Hence, it should at least earn me some cents (lol).

This isn't any easy. I wish there was a sponsor (so those attending don't have to pay). I even intend to hold another meeting but if I can't find a way afford it, I'll have to back off.

Well, I don't see it wrong if you want to monetize bitcoin as an exchange for your services. I believe it exist for it to be used as an exchange as an alternative. As long as you follow guidelines provided by your country regarding fares, taxes, and other services I think there's nothing wrong with that.
I fully support this opinion. This is your work, you are not a volunteer. You make seminars and trainings so in my opinion providing of monetization is right, but do not be greedy, make the price acceptable
The venue of the seminars are always be paid for before any training can take place. Monetization of the process is for the benefits of the attendees because, the trainer will be motivated to download all to the trainees. Nothing is more motivating than monetizing a process. Sometime ago I had to collect some payment before given out some first hand information.

Some seminars and meetings are of great value, because in order to prepare something, you need a lot of time and effort. Moreover, even in order to gather people, to organize everything - you need some money. Therefore, it is normal when invitees pay some amount of money.
Yes, vividly I remember backed in those days, when there wasn't enough knowledge on the internet about the technology. Several time u had to attend meets up to be groom on the technology, during these days, we all paid some fees to partake in the trainings. Whatsoever, the fee paid to the convener is legitimate, as he or she sold out the knowledge in form of monetization. Training I have done so far where paid types and haven't regret my actions.

I agree, Not everything is free even if it is searchable on the internet. The knowledge we learn about cryptocurrency that built up into our minds for a couple of years using it, might be free but the techniques and self-experience on crypto are precious. Conducting a seminar/meeting pertaining to bitcoin may have some fee's on the host that might include the event area fee. I think it is worth investing in knowledge especially if you can use it in the future and can earn some money from it.

If you want to monetize your efforts that is fine but you need to put some boundaries, there are people like that in all industries and the people that give seminars soon realize the problem you are facing, so you need to learn how to not waste your time after the seminar or they are going to consume all your time, this is especially true for those that did not assist, tell them you will send them a notice when there is a new seminar and then cut them off, you cannot explain this kind of thing one by one or it is going to take you forever.

Why do you think this is wrong? You spend your time, resources, you share knowledge. In my opinion, you are a real tutorial, so this should be rewarded. You just need to do monetization right to make everyone comfortable

i think you must be strict with the rules that the date must be followed and if they did not attend the Seminar or meeting even what is their reason then it is reasonable to ask for Professional fee and that is what we do for living,our time is very precious that is why we are making a specific date and time so we will only spend our allotted time to be on their front answering various questions.Some of them who were there when we announced the meeting date, they didn't come but still come back individually to request explanations.

but when the time is up and they will come asking for same question you already discussed?then ask for Fees but of course be reasonable in price.
January 30, 2020, 10:12:53 AM
I would if I were you. You are allotting your time, resources, knowledge and expertise to train them, and that's alone IMO is already a justified reason on asking a small fee. Kind of like a small crash course that some institutions are offering nowadays on different parts of the world. Knowledge is indelible and valuable, and it's not something that one can stumble upon and grasp so easily without having someone to learn from or some resources to use.
I'm pretty sure they'll think of it as something not worth their time but just own it. Show them and make them feel that you know what you're talking about and you're worthy of being compensated into helping them learn new things.

If you become consultants then sure it's completely fine, if they're asking advanced questions and wanting in-depth answers that are telling more in-depth ways and analysis it should be a paid for service.

Basic Q and A after a presentation, of course not that should absolutely be free, but this definitely sounds much more than something as basic and small as that.
January 30, 2020, 10:08:00 AM
It's okay to monetize anything as long as its indeed a valuable thing that leaves the buyers happy in the long run. Many seminars, trainings, meetings, courses are so low quality to the point where they do more harm then good by giving people poor advises that set them on a wrong course, and charge money on top of that. If you are confident that the knowledge that you share won't make people lose money in crypto, it's okay to charge people for it.
