I’m interested in making some quick revenue online. Should I become a community toolbar publisher?
The Conduit community toolbar platform was designed as a marketing tool, and its use is primarily to help publishers market their content and better connect with their existing community members. If your only interest is to monetize your toolbar, then Conduit may not be the right fit for your needs. Toolbars are just like websites: they need to create value for their users, so that a community of devoted fans will be created around them. Only then can such a community be monetized. As in great websites, the key is to provide a tool with content the users are looking for and would like to come back to. The advantage of your community toolbar is that in addition to the content you provide to your users on your website, you can also add gadgets and tools on your toolbar—for example: the E-mail Notifier, Radio Player, and various social and interactive tools (access to Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, online games, news, chat, etc.).
