INLEO is aiming to onboard 8,000 new users to Hive this year through our one-click onboarding and marketing funnels. We've been constantly building and improving these means of onboarding and everything is reaching a crescendo. We've got an amazing UI filled with features. Much of our focus right now is on stability, speed and performance.
Improving these things and getting the INLEO experience on par with X is now the focus. We want it to be seamless to transition to using INLEO. Posting a Thread should feel natural and effortless. Same with blogging.
As we continue to build, the LEO Token Economy has more and more relevance. The higher the LEO price, the easier it is to sell new users on joining the platform. This is an obvious thing and it happens in every market cycle on Hive. When the HIVE price goes up, more people come back / join to blog and earn the higher USD-valued Rewards.
So while we aim to improve the fundamentals of INLEO from an onboarding / experience standpoint, the price of LEO is also a relevant piece of the puzzle when it comes to bringing in new users.
Creating One of the First Real-World Use Cases of HBD
HBD is super interesting. It gives us an easy way to transact value on the Hive blockchain. It's a fantastic medium of exchange because it's relatively easy to get (in small quantities) through the normal rewards pool / internal market.
Then you can spend it on goods and know that the market rate won't fluctuate +/- about 1%.
So we can accept it as a reliable form of payment.
This is what we built with INLEO Premium.
We accept only HBD as payment for INLEO premium. It costs $10 per month (10 HBD).
As you can see in the footer, 100% of the revenue goes toward buying HIVE and LEO at the market price and then pooling HIVE-LEO in a liquidity pool on BSC.
Today, I'll talk about a few of the impacts of that and maybe convince you to try premium.
Why Premium?
Premium has all of the features listed in the screenshot above. You can do a lot of cool things when you're a premium member of INLEO. Custom themes, Editing Threads, Priority in the feeds and of course: you get curation from @leo.voter on any of your quality blog posts that are published through the https://inleo.io UI.
So publishing high quality blog posts while being a Premium Member is a great way to earn more rewards on the Hive Blockchain. We've built a really cool model here:
- Create great content
- If you're not premium, you get curated
- If you are premium, you get curated with much more voting power %
This is a nice incentive loop that builds many layers of value. Great content drives in ad views = revenue for LeoAds (which just had it's first monthly distribution) and being Premium drives in revenue that buys LEO and HIVE off the market.
Creating buy pressure for both LEO and HIVE is important to us. What's equally important is that we then turn around and permanently pool the LEO-HIVE that we buy.
This permanent liquidity position creates more potential trading volume for both LEO and HIVE. Right now, the permanent LP is about $3,000 USD and it's growing every single month.
Our goal is to get to 1,000 Premium Subscribers by the end of Q1, 2024. This will bring in $5,000 worth of buying pressure for HIVE and $5k for LEO.
That's $10k in total buying pressure that then goes into a Liquidity Pool and is permanently provided as liquidity for people to buy/sell HIVE & LEO.
Imagine 12 months of operating like this. That's $120k+ in liquidity that is permanently locked in this liquidity pool. 200,000 HIVE pooled with 1,000,000 LEO.
The impact of that is enormous. One that we can't really quantify until it is reality. The trading volume that could potentially be created from this permament liquidity pool is much higher than most places HIVE is traded.
HIVE is not traded in many places. Getting it listed on DEXes is one of our primary focus points. While we continue to do this, Liquidity becomes increasingly important.
Premium solves this.
Who Should Get INLEO Premium?
If you create blog posts at least 1-4 times per month (minimum) and you use the INLEO UI to do so, Premium can be a great way to grow your Hive account.
If your goal is to:
- Grow your Hive account
- Engage on the Hive blockchain
- Get more rewards
- Stand out from the crowd
- Show up more in Threads / Blog Post feeds
- Get access to exclusive features that enhance the experience
... then Premium is for you.
Premium members earn far more than the cost of premium every single month under our new curation rules.
Again, we curate based on quality. To get curated by @leo.voter (2.4M HIVE POWER), your content has to be:
- Published from https://inleo.io
- Reach a minimum quality standard
If you have these two things, then your content can be curated by @leo.voter.
The kicker is that if you have these two things AND you are premium, then we more than double the voting % weight when we curate your blog posts.
The increase in earnings is obvious. I highly recommend trying Premium for 1 month and posting at least 1-4 blog posts in that month from the INLEO UI. The results speak for themselves.
What I'm offering in this blog post is to personally refund your Premium subscription if you try it for 1 month and don't earn more than 3x the cost of premium back in upvotes from @leo.voter ($30 HBD).
So spend $10 HBD to increase your earnings by more than $30 HBD per month on your blog posts. If it doesn't work for you, I'll send your 10 HBD back to you from my own account.
My goal with this is multi-fold:
- I want to push us closer to our 1,000 subscriber goal
- I believe the features of Premium (not including the increase in earnings) are worth the 10 HBD each month. You get cool features like Bookmark Folders, an orange checkmark, etc.
- I know the new curation rules are not super obvious, and I want you to see the results for yourself
- I want more quality content published from inleo.io, and I know this is a nice incentive for you to do that
So what are you waiting for? It's a risk-free 1 month trial. I think it's insanely worthwhile from both a feature and a reward standpoint.
And I didn't even mention that you are also generating buy pressure for both HIVE & LEO when you go premium. 100% of your subscription cost (10 HBD) is split into 5 HBD and 5 HBD.
Half buys LEO and the other half buys HIVE. Then pools it in a permanent liquidity position. Creating long-term value for both LEO-HIVE by allowing more trading volume to be generated outside of Centralized Exchanges.
