Digital Funding Tokens: DFTs
My new NFT project. These are collectible cards minted via NFTShowroom as a Reward for my Fans, and as an additional way to fund my creative works.
Each token will feature an art related to one of my project and have a different color. (Examples in the image above.) Owning one of these will give you Supporter Perks. Earnings from token sales to the account @ahmadmanganet will be added to my Creative Works Fund!
I want to dedicate time to create high quality works instead of hastily posting new blogs on HIVE without care about the quality, I need money for some of the things I have in mind to the website. I'll be transparent on how these Funds will be used! (إن شاء الله)
Benefits of the DFTs
Keep My Content Free to Read: With the worry about my earnings out of the way, I can keep posting new works for people to read for free thanks to your help!
Fund Your Favorite Project: Each Token from is linked to one of my projects. When you buy a DFT, you're not only letting your favorite work known, you're telling me it's worth investing time, effort & money in!
Transparency! Each DFT will have a post detailing how money earned from selling it will be used. Your money is valuable & so is my time and effort, so I want to be transparent on how this translates to that!
More Features On ahmadmanga.net: Websites cost money to maintain, and while I can cover domain and hosting with my usual earnings, some features require an additional income stream to add to the site.
Supporter Perks: Owners of these DFTs will have perks
- Beneficiary Rewards: A percentage of the rewards some of my content.
- Becoming a Sponsor: Depends on the card, but you'll get a chance to list your name in the credits of the project or becoming an official sponsor for it. (More on this soon.)
- Extra Benefits: Open to Suggestions~
Supporter Perks Example: If 2 people own the "A Fascinating Legacy" DFT, I'll list them as beneficiaries for my posts related to "A Fascinating Legacy" short story. They'll have the option to put their names as sponsors in its page on the website and the ebook version. Their suggestions for the story and sequels for it, will have a higher priority.
Pricing
The prices of each token is decided on case-by-case bases, with projects I have bigger plans for have more Editions (Minted copies) and/or Priced higher.
At the time of this posting the price of my first two tokens is 20 HIVE each (roughly $8.5 USD at the current HIVE price.) This price was selected for my plans these tokens will be used to Fund and might be changed in the future.
Each token sold or given to a Supporter counts in my Perks Milestone Roadmap. (See below.)
I'll start working on each Perk once it's reached in the milestone. (إن شاء الله)
Pricing Example - The First Token: Funding the Website
[ADFT-000 - AhmadManga's Logo] is the first token of the DFT series. It's linked to my website development.
If one of the perks I'm giving for the supporters to buy this token is Upgrade the Digital Downloads Plugin in my website I'll need first to look at the upgrade cost, let's say it's $50. If each token of these is priced at $10, I need to sell at least 5 of them to get that part of the project funded. With that assumption, this perk will be 5+ Cards above the perk before it.
Adding my time and effort to the cost, and reducing the potential Hive posts earnings from it.
Here's a mock Milestone Roadmap for the Project:
- If one of these got sold, I'll create two more DFTs.
- If 5x of them got sold, I'll add an Email Newsletter to the website.
Note: There's no timeline for this. You can get yours at any time, and when the Milestone is reached, I'll try to implement each of the rewards as fast as I can, but I am one person working on this.
