ICOs go to agencies to promote their projects and they pay out in tokens after very long time the project is concluded.
Not all of them (for both parts of the sentence).

The community isn't keen to donate to upkeep the site and to have finally funds to develop it.
Then try to provide full articles for a small price (or a paid membership) and only include the summary for free users (some might pay).

Google Ads pay meager amounts in Hungary and it doesn't cover much.
Sell ad spaces on forums (ex. Auctions and Digital goods).

Hi SFR10,

thanks for the comments.

1) It is true not all of them. Let us say from 100 mails sent out introducing our site, maybe 10 replies and 1 who agrees to advertise. We did back in March an email marketing campaign and sent out to 500+ ICOs and must say, the results were pretty disappointing.

2) "Then try to provide full articles for a small price (or a paid membership) and only include the summary for free users (some might pay)." - this a great idea thank you very much! I was thinking first to provide research, journals, academic level articles as premium content but definitely going to experiment with your suggestion. We have Satoshipay already installed - yeah definitely will try!

Thanks for the third recommendation too - I was not paying too much attention to bitcointalk threads (or rather I had no time for it) but yes, definitely will do from now on.
