Revenue Model

Subscription Models are a hard sell 🤷🏻

editorial sponsorships

Vertically Integrated Advertising

‍Built into our editorial is a trojan horse production house in the form of 916-411. As the founders have been running productions for many years (links below 👇🏼), the capacity for this is readily available at the moment of launch.

ProudNet is effectively an Advertising production house that also holds access to the audience local stakeholders want to reach.

916-411

We will use this to derive revenue from the provision of native advertising solutions, whereby the Company or third parties produce compelling content on behalf of brands to promote events, new business openings and even PSA commissions. All productions will be done in our editorial style paid for by stakeholders.

This strategy vertically integrates revenue generation from the get go. We become a one stop shop for the ideation, production, and distribution of advertiser content. Our networks will already command the audience local advertising is looking to reach.

Social Montezation

As much of our content will be designed to be viewed on social platforms we will monetize our content through more traditional methods generating additional digital advertising revenue.

Merch

As ProudNet is connected to the Sacramento Identity, we will include a rotating cast of local designers (starting with Sam Rose of @bSRbrand) to create high quality merch for Sacramentans by Sacramentans.

Our plan

We have put together a coalition of Creators, Producers, Entrepreneurs, and Sacramento Socialites to build
