WHY THIS ROUTE
Readers who already track books want proof that means something. A small fee for verified reads is easy to explain and recurring.
ARRIVED LOOKS LIKE
30 paying readers or 3 paying book clubs in your wallet within 60 days.

NEXT MOVE · WITHIN THE HOUR

1. Set your first price inside Read Receipt

30 min

Open the admin screen and set two prices: a monthly reader plan (start at $5) and a book club plan (start at $40 for up to 15 members). Write one line under each saying exactly what it includes.

2. Invite ten readers by name

45 min

Write down ten real people you know who fit: the friend who posts book photos, your old study group, the colleague who always recommends nonfiction. Message each one personally, not in a group. Ask them to try it this week and tell you one thing that confused them.

FIRST MESSAGE · WHATSAPP OR DM · TO A FRIEND WHO READS A LOT

Hey, I just set up a small app called Read Receipt. After you finish a book it gives you a quick comprehension check and adds it to a shelf you own. Would you try it with the next book you finish? I would love one honest note on what felt off.

3. Ask for the first payment out loud

20 min

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.

FIRST MESSAGE · DM · TO A FRIEND WHO READS A LOT

So glad you liked the quiz. The reader plan is $5 a month in USDC, and it goes straight to my wallet, not a big platform. Want to be one of my first ten paying readers?

4. Post a weekly numbers note

15 min

Every Friday, share how many people used Read Receipt, 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.

FIRST MESSAGE · X OR FARCASTER · TO YOUR FOLLOWERS

Read Receipt week 2: 14 readers, 37 books verified, $45 in. Changed quiz length from 10 to 6 questions after feedback. Next: book club shelves.

5. Raise or add a tier after 30 paying users

40 min

Add a club plan at $40 per month and a classroom plan at $100 per month with a teacher dashboard. Announce it to existing readers first.
