Show HN: CheerAd – Let your audience support your website with paid messages

https://cheerad.com/pages/how-to-use.html
2•niyoseris•2h ago
Hey everyone! Happy New Year! Cheers to all!

I've been working on CheerAd, a simple widget that lets website visitors "cheer" for you by paying to leave a featured message on your site.

The Problem: - Traditional ad networks need tens of thounsands pageviews and take forever to pay - Sponsorship platforms require pitching brands - Most solutions aren't designed for small creators

The Solution: CheerAd lets YOUR audience become your advertisers. They pay to leave a cheerful message, or their project's promotion. Then you approve it, and it appears on your site. You get paid instantly via Stripe.

Features: - 5-minute setup with simple embed code - You control the price (min $1.50) - 90% goes to you (10% platform fee + Stripe fees) - AI moderation option - No minimum traffic required - Instant payouts to your Stripe account

Detailed info: https://cheerad.com/pages/how-to-use.html

Currently in beta - would love your feedback! What features would you want to see?Hey everyone!

Warning: If you click on the Dashboard link in the menu, it makes it impossible to use the back button to get back to HN.

Am I missing something or is there is no pages that actually show what they look like?

Thanks for feedback. adding some previews to the guide.

and on the CheerBoard section you can see sites which uses the system with live https://cheerad.com/pages/cheerboard.html

and also a demo page http://cheerad.com/pages/demo.html

and also i guess fixed the button issue.

Thanks for valuable feedback.

The back button breaking seems to be if you're not logged in, as loading the dashboard redirects to the homepage. Might be better to show a modal or something prompting the user to log in or at least use window.location.replace so it doesn't kill the back button.

The demo page looks to be what I was missing, are these placed in a specific location (eg the bottom right corner of the window) or is that up to the site owner?
