This post is an update to one of my posts from almost a month ago, when I first released my new reply and curation images. In this update, I have decided to start animating the images, but more importantly, I have decided to monetize them!
I am offering to include a two-frame advert (similar to the existing one for SteemMonsters) in my reply & curation signature images. These adverts will go at the bottom of all my replies for a set number of "impressions", depending on how much you want to spend. I'll keep a record (with links) of the replies that I post which included your advert, and will post a report when the advertising contract is completed.
I am just trialling this service, and I hope to at least get a 20 Imprint advertising contract from someone. I am giving @steempunknet, @steemmonsters, and @chibera a free run of this service, as a demonstration of what can be achieved with my reply & curation signature image adverts. They are fairly unobtrusive, yet noticeable, and the rotating images cause a somewhat subliminal response, which is great for brand recognition.
The artwork will be based on a 400px wide, by 50px high rectangle with rounded corners. Note that they will get scaled to fit the final animated image. You can submit your own artwork, or I can design one for you. I'm still developing this concept, and I'd welcome any feedback or advice on this.
