New features include the Internet’s first-ever paid User News section with an always-increasing cash pot, the ability to share videos, podcasts and photography, and unique tools such as accepting donations from other users and the ability to sell content such as user-generated magazines, news articles and even photography.
“The Internet is now home to many truly incredible websites and Digital Journal is trying to raise the bar by giving Internet-savvy users a new platform in which they can keep updated on the latest news, while making cash at the same time,” says Digital Journal Vice President and Editor-in-Chief, Christopher Hogg.
Currently home to millions of users who want to stay updated on the world of tech lifestyle, www.digitaljournal.com has seen its daily unique traffic grow five fold over the last year. With its newly launched website, the company is introducing a number of features requested by users, as well as some entirely new concepts for the Internet.
Digital Journal’s flagship feature is its new uncensored User News section where anyone can create a free account and get paid to contribute to a user-generated news site that boasts blogs, videos, podcasts and forums. With an ever-growing cash pool, Digital Journal members get a chance to compete for a share of the pot by posting news, rating and commenting, and being active on the website. The more a user contributes to the site, the more cash he or she can earn.
“Digital Journal is diving straight into Web 2.0 with a totally new idea,” says Digital Journal Vice President of IT and Associate Publisher, Alex Chumak. “User-powered content was yesterday’s news, so we’re changing the game by rewarding users for their power. The new generation of www.digitaljournal.com enables visitors to discover and share content that’s important to them, and earn money for their work.”
According to research published by Nielsen NetRatings, user-generated websites have become the fastest-growing online brands in dozens of countries around the world. But none offer the feature-rich tools of Digital Journal with the ability to earn cash at the same time.
The newly redesigned website also includes a Web portal for users to purchase Digital Journal’s critically-acclaimed printed magazine in digital format (PDF) for only $1.69 per issue. Internet users can save money off the newsstand price and have the publication delivered immediately online.
Digital Journal’s newly designed site also allows users to integrate their PayPal account to accept donations from other members and sell their own content in PDF format. This gives journalists, publishers and artists the chance to upload their own work, including magazines, news articles, short stories or even photography in PDF format, and sell them through www.digitaljournal.com.
