| I haven't fully thought through this idea, but I remember hearing about how it's possible to make money on youtube by somehow connecting it with a paypal account and allowing ads to be run on your video. I think it would be cool if ROBLOX did something similar (and would inspire actual game designers to put in effort to make great games here on ROBLOX). I haven't completely brainstormed good ways to do this, but I feel like somebody could come up with an idea. Maybe they could revamp the BC only games and allow players to make money off of visits to those. There could be paid advertisements that pop up after a player leaves a game, or even in-game ads (don't complain yet). When a player opens the pause menu gui or while the game is loading, ads can show up without interrupting gameplay (maybe even the game creators can set when they want ads to show up on their game, and get paid more for more spots). |

The way you earn money on Youtube is to be Partnered.
To be partnered, you have to have a high enough view count to make money on ads that get played on games and such.
For users to be payed for such things, ROBLOX would have to chuck out some moolah to give these "partnered" users money.

@1204
I understand that it would only be good for users that get lots of visits. That's what I intended the idea for.
As for the money issue, I do see how that is a problem, but I'm not saying they have to fork cash to people, even just a fraction of a penny for every visit would be cool. |

| I don't know ROBLOX's financials, I don't know how much money this would earn them/cost them. So I have no choice but to assume that if you're an every day ROBLOXian, you don't know that either. If an admin were to post that this is in no way conceivable, I would believe them and forget this idea. The way things look, ROBLOX seems to be growing very fast, so if they can't afford it now, they will probably be able to afford it in a few years. Plus, if they make more money off the ads (which I hope you read about in my original post before saying they would lose a lot of money), then it will profit them. If you're just going to say "roblox would loose aloota money," and you're not an admin or someone that works for ROBLOX, then please give some expert logical reasoning behind why it would not be a benefactor for them. |

- If these ads earn real money no - If these ads are in game and not advertising other places but real things no - If this is a way to earn money maybe - I think this will not happen |

@sniper, it wouldn't make people that much money. You would have to visit your own place thousands of times to buy OBC. People would be doing that already if it actually got them a decent amount of place visits.
@sassle, I am talking about a way to earn real money (however allowing ROBLOX ads to make robux/tix is an interesting idea). I am also talking about ads for real things that earn ROBLOX money, but when I say in-game, I'm not talking about while you're playing, running around and shooting things, or whatever. I'm talking about when you're in the pause menu or while the game is loading or maybe when you exit the game.
Again the idea isn't fully formed yet, maybe it should be a BC only feature? Maybe it should only be allowed for players that already have a lot of place visits? Maybe it should cost money to have this feature, so if people don't get enough visits (and therefore not enough ad sightings), they have to pay for it? |
