Introduction
On April 15th, BULB’s official launch will be live, this marks a huge milestone for the platform. To celebrate Official Launch, the team will be bringing you a whole range of new platform features including; BULBmoji NFTs 2.0, writer analytics, dark mode, revamped refer-to-earn, share-to-earn, email subscriptions, writing tips and more.
Read on to find out all you need to know about the new features…
Firstly, BULBmoji NFTs are Back
The team is proud to announce that BULBmoji NFTs are back! We will be releasing an additional 250 BULBmoji NFTs on the platform. The BULBmoji NFTs are mostly the same compared to the first release earlier this year. You can open a BULBmoji NFT pack to unlock a mystery NFT. Each NFT belongs to a specific class (targeted towards a specific ‘action’): Reading, writing, sharing, moderating, commenting and reacting, with each class also having one of 5 rarities.
This time, the team has done away with tiered Bronze, Silver and Gold NFT packs. All you need to do is buy one Master BULBmoji Pack from BULB’s ‘Shop’ and you’re set. Make sure you get in early because all BULBmoji packs sold out last time within a few days!
Introducing BULB’s New ‘Refer-to-Earn’ and ‘Share-to-Earn’ Features 💸
To further BULB’s ethos as a ‘Do-to-Earn’ blogging platform, the team will also be introducing new ‘Refer-to-Earn’ and ‘Share-to-Earn’ features.
BULB’s new Refer-to-Earn feature rewards uses with 1,000 BULB Tokens for referring a new user to BULB. To earn the full amount, the person being referred must complete a react, a read and a comment within 24 hours of signing up to BULB. The referrer’s earnings will be adjusted to match the aggregate points their friend has earnt within the 24 hour period out of the total points the friend could have earned as an active user.
For Share-to-Earn, sharers are rewarded with BULB points for sharing articles from BULB on their social media channels. Users will be free to share any article they, even if it’s not their own work. Both the sharer and the original author of the post will earn 25 BULB points for each 10 unique visits through the link shared.
Say Hello to Writer Analytics
The team will also be releasing writer analytics on your blog posts so that you can view detailed statistics on the performance of articles you publish. Users will have access to key statistics, including the blog’s ‘score tier’, views over time, the sources of your views (internal or external), engagement rate, reader’s country of origin and SEO keyword ranking and more!
This will be immensely helpful for all new bloggers looking to see how their blogs perform.
