Subscription Price
Don't forget to set a subscription price in the Member Price box located below the P2P Address Box. This determines how many 2Zs you will charge your subscribers on a 30-day sschedule to join your circle and get access to members-only content such as subscribers-only zPages and Livestreams. N.B. if you set this value too high you will get fewer subscribers!
Imagine having 100 subscribers paying you 10 2Zs per month. That's 1000 2Zs or $10.00 per month. Not bad for a start!
Do you have 50,000 subscribers willing to pay $1.00 per month? That's $50,000 per month!
Do you have 1,000,000 subscribers willing to pay $0.01 per month? That's $10,000. One of the great things about Free2Z is that you can set a subscription price all the way down to $0.01 per month.
Adding Your Peer-to-Peer Zcash Address
Embrace a new era of private crowdfunding with Free2Z by adding a peer-to-peer (P2P) Zcash address to your profile. This feature allows you to receive donations directly from your supporters, maintaining complete privacy for both you and them. Here’s how you can set it up:
Getting Your Zcash Address
First, select a Zcash wallet that supports shielded transactions. Choose one that suits your device and needs. If you want to do some research, feel free to check out the Zcash Wallets page for a list of options. If you just want to grab one, we recommend Ywallet, which is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. Follow the instructions provided by your chosen wallet to create a new wallet. Make sure to securely store your wallet's backup phrase. This phrase is crucial for recovering your funds if your device is lost, damaged or stolen. Within your wallet, generate a shielded Zcash address. This address will start with a "z" or a "u" and is designed to keep your transactions confidential.
