Monetization of slide-hosting service
For about a year now there has been a slideboom project - a competitor to slideshare . The service offers the ability to convert PowerPoint presentations to flash format and store them.
The main advantage over competitors is the high quality of the resulting files, support for animations, audio and video.
The user can upload up to 100 presentations up to 100 MB each. No further special restrictions are imposed.
Now the task is to monetize the project.
For this, it was decided to use paid accounts with additional functionality.
In add. functionality included
The cost of such an account is $ 99 per year.
I don’t want to show ads on the site.
