👋 Hello SWT Community, we’ve got some more news to share with everyone about the earning system. The BBS development team has reduced the CPM payout for Partnered users to $5. That’s down significantly from where it was variable, but upwards of $50. That means publishing bonuses are going to be a lot smaller than they have been. 

Community Pool tipping
    To make up for the lowered CPM, BBS expects board Owners/Admins to use the Community Tipping pool to compensate publishers. Partners will still receive engagement based CPM bonuses on all their posts, but now OC ⭐️ posts by partnered and non-partnered will be compensated with one or more tips from the Community pool. Now content can be rewarded and not users, which means any user can earn cashable revenue on their very first post and any post after as long as it meets the criteria to be an OC⭐️ post. 

    We’ve got some important news to share with the SWT.com Community so we would really appreciate it if everyone took a minute to read this post. 🙏 SWT.com obviously needs more users to visit the board but more importantly, we desperately need the users that do visit regularly to engage in some way. Any way…

    Last week, the 6th quarter of Engagement Mining (EM) ended. For those that don’t know the EM program is where the 💰 for Partnered users’ publishing bonuses comes from. Each BBS board must maintain a minimum  average number of Daily Active Members to be approved for EM funding for the next quarter (3 months). 
   When this quarter ended this board failed to maintain the minimum average of 20 Daily Active Members. Fortunately Eyal and the MetaBBS Admin team see the value in our organic community and put us on probation instead of removing us from the EM program for this quarter. We have the next couple months to try to reinvigorate the community and get back up to at least 20 Daily Active Members or we will be removed from the EM program next quarter and lose the ability for publishers to earn entirely.
