One month ago, I announced that I would be paying any article I accepted in January with $10 in Litecoin. I’m happy to say that the results of this promotion has far exceeded my expectations: we’ve received dozens of additional articles and have been able to post four original articles every weekday without relying on syndicated news. Traffic has also increased.
If you have submitted an article, you already received instructions to fill out the invoice form after your article goes live. Payment will be sent out on the 10th of the month after you invoice me. So if you invoice me today (January 31) for a published article, you will be paid on February 10. If you invoice me between February 1-28, you will be paid on March 10. Since we’re still working through a large backlog, it may take up to three more weeks for your January submission to appear. Email me if you need additional clarification or help.
Even though $10 is not a significant sum of money, it was a gentle push for men interested in crypto to submit articles. I’m definitely keeping that lesson in mind on deciding whether I should implement some kind of permanent reward system in the future.
I thank all the writers who have submitted as part of the promotion. If you are a reader, feel free to share your thoughts on if you noticed any difference in content throughout January compared to the previous months.

Congrats, ROK! Been great reading lately. Between this and the State of the Union, Christmas came late. Or very early.
Please keep that Syndicated News feature crap away from this site. Not only that the articles suck written by whiny girlie men, they attracted the whiny spineless girlie men that worship inaction advocating that gendo nationalism garbage glorifying sex dolls.
I’d argue that as long as there’s 3 original articles per day, plus a news story which is highly relevant to our sphere and beliefs/disbeliefs, it wouldn’t drastically change the tone of the site.
Nothing wrong with putting out a blurb from a Breitbart article every now and then which is showcasing the latest “cultural enrichment” story of a Truck of Peace plowing through Europe someplace.
Nice job! A much improved month I must agree.
Good material from a lot of new authors and John Carver and Jean-Batave hit some home runs with the shitlording Haiti, Women’s March, and 100 Notch Count slut articles.
Make Return Of Kings Great Again!
yeah it makes a difference as people feel like the blog is a step up from the free ones, and they feel valued. Sure spending 40 bucks a day is still a big overhead when your cut from advertisers.
maybe do 10 bucks for first article a new writer submits. Once they submit they’ll probably be hooked into doing it.
I doubt that will stick. People like getting paid.
I wanted to contribute, but had a last-minute Master’s Program assignment. Oh well, I loved the new content though. Jean-Batave wasn’t one of the new ones but I believe he’s stepping up his game. Have a nice weekend.
$10 in litecoin is probably more money in pocket than the ROI of a lot of masters degrees. Just sayin.
People should read fast lane millionaire.
If/when you guys do it again, I am in for the next round.
Good going Roosh. I am very happy RoK is getting a steady supply of content and traffic. I will contribute few articles this month.
I really think you need a new comment system. It’s a PITA to log in every time to make a comment. Plus, I still don’t see a way to change the avatar.
What about using a WordPress-based comment system instead?
Or maybe that other one you were testing fixed the security hole…
