“Grow!” is a social patron platform that allows users to donate money to publishers.
You can integrate the grow! button on your blog or website for an extra stream of income. It works a little like the Facebook “like” button, just with monetary benefits. Each click on the Grow! button will give the publisher 100 points and every 100 points can be exchanged for $1. Simply put, 1 click = $1. For now, 65% of the revenue will be given to the publishers.
This is how it works for supporters: By clicking the Grow! button, Grow! will show you the amount of points you left. The points can be purchased through Paypal. You will see a confirmation describing how your grow! will be paid to the publishers from your account. After the payment, you can also share it on Twitter and Facebook and also track who else have clicked grow! on the content.
Every user will be given a page on grow!, showing the number of grow! and posts they have perform through the platform. You can also see your friends’ content on page as well. The service is in public beta for now and would go live in June this year.
