LAUNCHING NOW: Targeted ads + empowr coin By Brian C Woosley on December 21, 2017 | |
LAUNCHING NOW: Targeted ads + empowr coin giveaway + auction Targeted ads Several weeks ago, we launched our new targeted ad system that provides all citizens FREE ads (up to 100,000 views per month) based on their mission roles. As many of you have noticed, since then we’ve progressed the ad system to enable everyone (even citizens without mission roles) to start receiving the benefits of ads for as little as $0.25 per day by setting a daily budget for any ad promoting their blogs or marketplace listings. We’re now happy to tell you that these updates to the ad system will be launched within the next 48 hours, and those of you that have set a daily budget for your ads will begin being served those additional views (the larger your daily budget, the more views your ads receive). How do you set a budget for your ads? Each time you create a new blog or marketplace listing, you’ll have the ability to create an ad for that item. If you wish to target more traffic to a specific ad/listing (in addition to the free views you receive based on your mission role), you can set a daily budget between $0.25/day to $100/day: 
If you already have ads that you’d like to set a daily budget for, you can do that by going to your “My Ads” page. Why set a daily budget for your ads? By setting a daily budget on ads for your blogs: Your blogs will be specifically targeted to people interested in what you’re writing about (based on the search terms you set for the blog) – which means highly engaged people “Liking” and sharing your posts. 
The more “Likes” you receive, the more you earn from your posts, so creating ads for your blogs may be the easiest way to increase your earnings. Want to see ads based on your interests? Simply update your interests here By setting a daily budget for your marketplace listings: Your ads will be shown more often to the very same people that you close loops with, which means the likelihood that your listings are sold is much higher as the people closest to you are the most interested in what you’re selling. How to turn off any ads or hide them from your list of ads If you’ve set a daily budget for any ad, you can edit your daily budget to $0 by visiting your “My Ads” page, and clicking on the ad you wish to edit. And if your My Ads page is getting too busy (with too many ads) you can “hide” any of them from being shown to you in your My Ads page – by clicking “Hide this Ad” link: 
Mission Points and coins? And finally, YES, your Mission Points go up with each dollar you spend in ads – leading to more rewards and coins – so purchasing ads also has that huge benefit. Be on the lookout for continued improvements to the new targeted ad system in the near future! empowr coin giveaway and auction As discussed recently, empowr is launching its own coin. For details, you can read the announcement here At the top of every profile, you’ll notice a ticker that displays the recent bids that have been placed by empowr citizens in the coin auction: 
By clicking “Get your free coins”, you’ll be taken to the coin page where you can claim any free coins granted to you. As a reminder, instead of selling coins to investors at a discount before offering them to the empowr community, the community of citizens, success coaches and employees have decided to reverse the process by: 1. Providing 10% of all coins to ever be created to the community for free. These coins are called Founder coins because you, the community that worked hard in this crazy alpha project, are its Founders: 
Remember: the amount of free coins you received is based on your all-time mission points. The more value you provided the empowr economy, the more free coins you received. 2. Any coins that go unclaimed by the community founders will be auctioned off to active community founders (and at a discount to investors – as you’ll see below):
Participating in the coin auction
After claiming your free coins, you’ll have the ability to participate in the coin auction and earn even more bonus (free) coins by placing your bid. To place your bid, simply enter your: A) MAX BID: the highest price you're willing to pay (per coin), and B) TOTAL SPEND: If you win, what's the total amount you want to spend  For the coin auction, we’ve added several new payment options for your convenience including PayPal, wire transfer, Bitcoin and Ether: 
Each payment choice comes with specific instructions, so be sure to follow each closely to ensure you’re credited for your bid as quickly as possible. Once you’ve placed your bid, you’ll see it added to your bid summary at the top of the page: 
You can edit your bids at any time during the coin auction by clicking on the ticker at the top of any profile: 
When the auction (bidding) ends:
The list of bids will be sorted by highest max bid price, to lowest. Starting at the top of that sorted list, each bidder's order is fulfilled until the available unclaimed coin supply is exhausted. The last person to win coins, sets the price for everyone above them. Tip: Your max bid should be the highest per-coin price you're willing to pay – but not more -- to push yourself to the front of the line and ensure you don't miss out. This is fair because: · Everyone gets the same final price · Everyone gets an opportunity to receive bonus (free) coins · The final price for everyone is set by the lowest (max bid per coin) price set by the last person that got in · Almost everyone will get a lower price than their max bid. (Only the last person pays exactly their max bid). · If there’s a tie between bidders, bids will be honored on a first come, first served basis. (IE: Bid date)
Suggested strategy:
Your max bid should be the highest per-coin price you're willing to pay – but not more -- to push yourself to the front of the line and ensure you don't miss out. If you win, your price will most likely be below your max bid. You'll pay nothing (and get no coins) if the final price ends up higher than you're willing to pay. Bonus (free) coins As a thank you to the empowr community, founders have the opportunity to earn 50% more (free) coins on every bid that you place in the coin auction! 
For the next 16 days, you can get 50% bonus (free) coins on any bids placed in the coin auction. If your bid wins, you'll receive 50% more coins for free. For example, if your bid has a total spend of $1,000, you'll receive an additional $500 of coins based on the final price. empowr promises not to approach or solicit large investors for its coin before this Founder 50% discount period runs out.
And finally: Aside from the strong desire to use the coin as a way to thank our incredible community members, one of the other reasons behind the decision to provide coins to the community for free, was that by doing so, we could be confident that our incredible community members couldn’t and wouldn’t lose money. Blockchain and related technologies are all new, and the price of coins are volatile. We strongly urge you to not bid on coins. If you do -- only bid total amounts of money that you’re OK with losing. As so many of you have pointed out, empowr has such high chances of success mostly because of the energy, optimism and hard work of its incredible community members. If our community members start losing their minds and focus, because of, say, the price of coins – it will have a negative impact on the quality of their lives and the quality of the work that we do together to make this mission a reality. Therefore, since we are all receiving free coins, why not let others (for example, large investors) take on any risks with their coin purchases, so that we can all stay very focused on the success of the mission and platform? Success Coaches: I hope you keep these thoughts in mind when answering questions from students. It does not help the empowr mission if our citizens are buying coins with money they cannot afford to lose. Any questions? We’re here for you. -Brian
