Promoter dashboard
Submission and claiming workflow
The promoter side should feel operational from day one, even before payments are added.
Submit in minutes
Promoters get a clean dashboard to add title, venue, dates, description, contact details, and promotion priority.
Claim seeded listings
If Voxma imports a public event first, the promoter can later claim the listing and upgrade it with richer content.
Priority placement
Future monetization can boost sponsored events to the top of high-intent city/date searches.
MVP form fields are now backed by
/api/events with file persistence in voxma/data/events.json: title, location, date, end date, category, description, contact, promoter name, source URL, and featured request.Seeder engine
Daily AI-assisted event intake
This solves the chicken-and-egg problem by giving Voxma a starting inventory without manual daily curation.

How it makes money
Monetization paths for Voxma
The MVP can start with ads, then move into direct promoter revenue once distribution proves itself.
- Sponsored priority ranking for promoters who want first placement in city/date searches.
- Self-serve premium promoter profiles with logo, verified contact data, and featured event bundles.
- Google AdSense on public browsing pages until direct paid placement revenue overtakes it.
- Affiliate integrations for ticketing partners where the event source supports compliant referral linking.
Launch sequence
What I will build next
This is the execution roadmap for turning the prototype into a live Portugal-first product.
- 1
Replace mock data with a persistent event store
Use a file-backed or database-backed store so promoter submissions and seeded events survive redeploys.
- 2
Create intake APIs + moderation queue
Add route handlers for promoter submissions and for AI-reviewed seeded listings with deduplication scoring.
- 3
Deploy voxma.com on EC2
Add a dedicated web root / reverse proxy target so it coexists safely with the other projects already on the server.
- 4
Automate daily Portugal seeding
Run a recurring agent job that reviews approved source pages, extracts candidate events, and proposes inserts while suppressing duplicates.
