Hey,
HashNode team must have put a lot of thought and effect in brainstorming all those monetization options.
But I want to share my feed on the above ones.
- Drinking coffee to healthy, so 👍🏻 for that, but don't charge on creating a publication. Why? Because many people prefer to create different publications for different topics and write in those respectively.
- Creating a recruitment platform is tricky in itself and building third-party integration will steer you away from the main focus of HashNode.
- Uploading training and courses seem like a good plan, but before diving in paid courses maybe allow users to first upload short videos for example 15 min and see how users use the platform for the same.
- Allow users to create meetups and organize events.
Assuming you will be using Stripe for accepting payments, can also make possible that it accepts Indian cards too.
Rest, you guys are doing an awesome job!
