Many of us regularly share information on centralized Web platforms. Some do not earn anything from this, others try to make money, but the amount of income is determined by the platform itself and is often miserable if you do not have a huge audience. That said, it doesn't make much sense to change one centralized platform for another, because they are all similar.

So in this article I would like to talk about an alternative platform which is being created right before our eyes based on Web3. This is the decentralized social network Solcial. It is being built on the Solana blockchain. That means it will have built-in cryptocurrency transactions. As soon as you register with Solcial, the system will mint for you exactly one million of your personal tokens. You come up with the name of your token yourself. And it's all completely free.

What is the purpose of a personal token? It's used so that your subscribers can access your private content. Specifically, Solcial has three levels of subscription. The first level is free. That is, anyone can subscribe to you for free by subscribing to the first level. The second and third level are private content. In order for a user to see your private content, he must buy a certain amount of your personal tokens (you set this amount yourself). As long as the user keeps your personal tokens in his wallet, he has access to your second or third level private content. As soon as he sold your tokens, he lost that access.

You may be wondering, what could be the price of your token? It is determined by the market! That is, the greater the demand, the greater the price.

So, how will monetization work in Solcial? At the free subscription level you can post some interesting information in order to get users' attention. For example, if you're an art maker, you could post examples of your artwork, and in the description of that artwork you could offer to subscribe to your second subscription level to get access to tips on creating such art. You can also offer subscribers to sign up for a third exclusive level to get access to, for example, your special secrets, or maybe personalized advice, your choice.

By selling your personal token, you get cryptocurrency named SLCL. This is a native Solcial token that is traded on exchanges, which means it can be converted by you to any other currency (bitcoin, dollar, or whatever).

Why I paid my attention to Solcial? As you already understood, here the author interacts directly with subscribers, i.e. there is no intermediaries and nobody takes a part of your income. You get fully 100% of your income from your subscribers!

At the moment of publishing this article the Solcial app is still in testing phase, so we have time to think over our monetization strategy and start implementing it as soon as the social network release happens!
