    Ways to Earn – Posting

    Citizens can earn in a variety of ways on empowr. This module will cover how citizens can earn by posting.

    We’ll cover how to earn from posting blogs, photos, videos and status updates, as well as how Biggest Fans Online (BFOs) and Communities work.

     

     

    Earning From Your Posts

    You earn based on the number of unique views you receive for the first 24 hours after you have posted your content.

    Views for all posts only count if they are viewed on other citizens’ newsfeeds or by having someone visit your "Unread Stories" page. For videos, they must be played on the newsfeed or “Unread Stories” page to count as viewed.

    In order for someone to get to your “Unread Stories” page, they must click on you when you show up in their BFO (Biggest Fan Online) Bar    .

     

    What are BFOs and how do they work?

    Your BFOs are the people that have done the most for you that are online right now.

    Go to your newsfeed and scroll down – you’ll see your BFO Bar appear:

     

    By clicking on your BFOs, you’ll be taken to their Unread Stories page. By visiting your BFOs’ Unread Stories page, you help them earn and further build your relationship with them by sharing their posts.

    The farther to the left that someone appears in your BFO bar, the more than have done for you:

    By doing more for others, you are more likely to show up in their BFO bar, which means you will get more views and earnings.

     

    To become someone's Biggest Fan Online (BFO):

    1. like, repost and comment on their posts from the newsfeed or Unread Stories page
    2. purchase their products
    3. bid on their auctions

     

    How to Post: Blogs

    Creating a New Blog and Blog Posts

    • What’s the difference between a Blog and a Post? A blog is where people go to read your posts. A blog may contain multiple posts. 
    • Think of the blog as a book and the posts in it are chapters of the book. 
    • A blog is typically about one subject matter and may contain as many posts as you like.

    When we create new posts we can earn from these posts within the first 24 hours from them just being shown in our friends and fans news feeds.

    Blogs can be created by clicking on the "Blog" tab on your left navigation bar. 

     

    You can include pictures, text, video and links to other web pages in your blog posts. empowr makes it easy to search images from Google, Yahoo, and Wikipedia directly in the editor, but you can add images from anywhere to your posts, including uploading your own images from your computer. Use the "Search" area at the bottom of the Editor to find great content for your posts. 

     

     

    If you did not create the content in your post, make sure to give credit to the source you got that content from. Give credit to a source you got your content from by putting "Credit: http://www.YourSourceSite.com" at the bottom of the post with your borrowed content.

    When saving your blog post, make sure your title makes sense and accurately describes to a reader what they can expect to find in that post

     

    Limiting how much of your post can be viewed for free

    When you are saving a post, empowr will automatically insert a green dollar sign ($) after roughly 1/3 of your content. This symbol signifies the "paid" part of a post - if you sell the blog in the marketplace then only people who have bought it will be able to read past this point. You can manually place the dollar sign at any point in your post by finding it in your blog editor toolbar.

    If you place the "quot; sign at the end of the post, the entire content will be visible to anyone who visits your post - or if you are not selling the blog, then citizens will be able to click "Read More" to view the rest of your post for free.

     

    Editing a Blog Post & Blog Setting

    You can edit your blog posts any time. Just visit the "Blog" tab and select the blog and specific post you want to edit from the drop down menu.

    To change the title of your blog, go to the "Blog" tab, select the blog you want to edit from the drop down menu. At the top right of the blog click the "Blog Settings" link or click “Edit” next to the title    . 

     

    The blog setting dialog box will appear – make your changes and hit “Save.”

    While you’re there, be sure to give each blog a unique photo that corresponds to the content within it. By doing so, your blog posts will stand out much more in the feed each time you publish a new post – making it much more likely your post will be viewed and shared by more people.

     

    Blog Standards and Guidelines  

    • You may not blog about any subject that infringes on a copyright of any other party. 
    • You may not blog about subjects that promote or incite terrorism or criminal offenses. 
    • You may not post blogs that promote online gambling, sports books, bingo or poker. 
    • Blogs promoting tobacco products are not allowed. 
    • Adult content with a sexual emphasis is not allowed. 
    • You do not make money asking others to visit your blogs. 
    • You cannot create a blog post for one single picture. Provide quality content in your posts. 
    •  

    Once a blog or post is deleted, there is no way to recover that blog or post.

     

    Blog Post Promotion  

    • Promote your blog URL on relevant forums, Google, Facebook, and Twitter or anywhere else on the Web! Each blog and blog post has a unique URL at the bottom of the post, or in your blog settings. 

    Note: you do not earn from non-empowr citizens liking, sharing or viewing your posts. You earn when empowr citizens like, share or view your posts in their feed or your Unread Stories page.  

    • Only people who have an empowr account and are actually logged in to it will be able to view your full blog or posts, unless you have placed the "quot; symbol at the very end of your post.
    • Ads are another way to promote your posts on empowr.
