The future of content creation and earnings is here! Monetizing your content and earning rewards for it has just been taken to a whole new level on a decentralised scale. Just as though truly reaping benefits in the first few days was not enough, LeoAds and Evergreen offer us tickets to never-ending rewards.
Never-ending sounds like such a big thing to promise, but it's simple. The general perspective here is that, with LeoAds, you stake, create, engage, and then watch your earnings soar. And with Evergreen, authors still get incentives for posts made a long time ago. This is something that creators on some Web2 platforms are already used to.
LeoAds rewards distribution went live for the first time yesterday, the 18th of January. It has been long anticipated, but it came as a surprise to me when I saw some extra LEO tokens show up in my wallet. Apparently, this first payout is for one month of ad revenue.
Essentially, the ads we see on InLeo generate revenue, as people pay to have them shown. The money generated from these ads is then used to buy LEO, adding it to the LeoAds reward pool for InLeo creators.
It will happen once every month from now on, on the first day of the month. The next one will happen on the 1st of February. And how it works is that one needs to have a minimum of 500 LEO POWER to receive something significant, as well as keep up with some substantial level of activity on InLeo—posts, threads, engagement, upvotes. The higher the stake, the higher the rewards.
Evergreen is another way to earn ad revenue. Posts made through InLeo get to benefit rewards even after the conventional seven-day payout. All that's required is traffic, and the minimum threshold for that is 200 views per month. Emphasis on "posts have to be made InLeo to be eligible for Evergreen rewards."
Evergreen brings perpetuity to reward earnings at Hive with this brilliant initiative by @inleo. And the general idea is to keep making content, drive traffic to it as you normally would, especially outside of Hive, gain more views, and watch those rewards troop in with time. Imagine doing this with all of your posts every day that you're actively Hiving. That's radical!
LeoAds earns you rewards based on your stake and activity, and Evergreen rewards you based on traffic (even after the seven-day payout window). By following the simple requirements, you will find @leoads sending you money every month.
In essence, InLeo is incentivizing external attention. Creating SEO-focused content is a great way to stack up these rewards faster and more easily.
