Pick where you want to go. Every route starts with a move you can make within the hour.
In admin, set a default note price (start at $0.05 per article) and a monthly subscription to one annotator (start at $4). Set your platform fee, for example 10 percent, and state it clearly to annotators.
Write down ten real people you know who fit: the colleague whose shared PDFs are full of notes, a researcher friend, the person in your group chat who always summarises papers. Message each one personally, not in a group. Ask them to try it this week and tell you one thing that confused them.
You know how your notes on papers are better than the abstracts? I set up an app called Margin Notes where you can publish them beside any article and readers pay a few cents in USDC to see them. Would you try it with three articles this week?
This is the step that takes nerve. When a tester says they like it, ask them to pay the real price today. Do not offer a discount first. Watch the USDC land in your own wallet and screenshot it for your records.
Your notes got real views this week. The subscription is $4 a month for a reader to follow you, and you keep the large share. Want to switch it on today?
Every Friday, share how many people used Margin Notes, how much came in, and one thing you changed. Keep it to five lines on X, Farcaster or your group chat. Real numbers, even small ones, build trust faster than promises.
Margin Notes week 3: 4 annotators, 61 note layers, 212 paid views, $38 in. Changed default price after feedback. Next: team layers.
Add private team layers at $30 per month so a lab or study group can share notes privately. Offer it to your annotators' colleagues first.
Leave an email and we nudge you at 24 and 72 hours with your next move. Optional.
