KOREAN SUCCESS - CHINESE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Korean version of Peakmonsters was a big success so far. Because we created the system when doing the Korean site it is now much easier for us to start other languages.

First up CHINESE

• It is set up and translated we are just waiting for approval of our request for the .cn website and doing some testing of the website with the market directors. @peakmonsters-cn will be the steem account.

LANGUAGE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU?

Do you speak a foreign language + English and think there's a great opportunity to bring in lots of players to SteemMonsters? And you're good at marketing and growing a community? Do you play or like games like https://steemmonsters.com/

If that's you or someone you know know get a hold of @jarvie or @asgarth

@aggroed himself connected us with @jayplayco who runs the Korean market and I think he'll say that it's been a good experience.

WHAT IS INVOLVED?

Creating another site is not just translating... i'll submit that's the easiest part. It's about:

• Growing a community
• Marketing to attract new users
• Giving technical support to the community
  (support peakmonsters features and maybe even explaining how steemmonsters works)
• And of course translating but that in practice takes the least amount of time and energy

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT?

• Well you get to see more people playing steemmonsters which is great for everyone
• It also helps the overall market and investments into cards.
• You make money.
  Every day .com and .kr can make some decent money. Nothing to retire from or even quit your job because of... but if you believe in the long term success of SteemMonsters then I think you want to be involved.

A MARKET - NOT JUST A TRANSLATED PAGE

We actually create a new market for a new language which allows things to be tracked separately than the .com audience. We also create a credit system and get steem accounts and a website that appeals to their country. We don't just translate a page... that'd be awesome but translating a page isn't good enough we need user support and marketing is the most important thing anyway.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR A LANGUAGE COMMUNITY

1. MARKET DIRECTOR:
   We need at least one person to direct that market to give support to the users and show us that this community may grow through marketing.
2. NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS:
   For that matter not korean or chinese either.
   Meaning they don't speak english at all.
3. MINIMUM INTEREST:
   We are pretty easy going on it... right now we're willing to start a new foreign market if there are 40 users interested. So start making a list
4. NO DRAMA:
   @Peakmonsters and our partner @steempeak have a no drama policy. If you like being inflammatory and complaining a ton and making people upset well that's totally your prerogative to do on steem. It just doesn't fit our brand is all.

FAQ

1. Can there be more than one market director?
   Yes. Chinese market will have a couple people working together... it's up to you guys to split the profits.
2. Can we use earnings to pay for marketing?
   Yes. We hope you do and we can take the money before distributing to any of us and pay for a good outside marketing ideas.
3. What happens if I start a community and leave later?
   We pay the market director a significant chunk of the earnings... if life happens and you have to leave you can help find a new market director and work out a deal that gives you a residual for the time you spent building the community.
4. What's the cut of the earnings?
   It's going to be based on how big of an audience you can bring in to be honest.
5. Could you start a language without a market director?
   If the community wants to work together and perhaps use all the profits for marketing then yeah maybe... I guess we can talk about it.
6. What if multiple people want to be market director for a language?
   Then we take the person with the best abilities to market and create a community.
7. How do you make money?
   Market sales and Bonus Pack commission.
   The steemmonsters market protocol started by @yabapmatt dictates the user (through the interface) chooses a % cut of the sale they're willing to give the market that helps facilitate the sale. Right now all the interfaces are doing 5% when they help list cards for sellers. SteemMonsters has given markets a 10% commission opportunity on packs. Also all links to steemmonsters will have that market's referral code if and when we start new users.
