Ik ben voor de fun begonnen met te experimenteren met advertentie-inkomsten op meerdere platformen (zowel het platform van Musk als Zuckerberg) en is na 2 maanden wel leuk om de data te zien. Enkele bemerkingen:

-Wat hier vaak viraal gaat, gaat elders vaak ook viraal. Pak de post over Frank Vandenbroucke. Ging zowel op Linked-In als op X als elders viraal met duizenden reacties over de verschillende platformen. Is zeldzaam dat op 1 platform iets wel werkt en op anderen niet.

- Veel geld krijg je er niet voor, maar opgeteld over de verschillende platformen levert een post je ongeveer 3 dollar per platform op gemiddeld.

- Soms heb je uitschieters. Voor 200.000 weergaven krijg je ongeveer 17 dollar aan inkomsten bij Zuckerberg. Bij X moeilijker te bepalen per post, maar reken op 3 dollar per dag.

- Zuckerberg is actiever in gamification. Zo krijg je wekelijks bonussen voor content te plaatsen. Gisteren eerste keer 20 dollar gekregen omdat twee posts 8000 views kregen. Dat zet aan om eerder gericht te posten en niet in kwantiteit.

- Payments variëren, reken op 0,11 dollar per 1000 views voor een foto. Ongeveer 50% van de views tellen niet mee vaak wegens herhaalde weergaven of accounts die kijken en restricted zijn.

-Zuckerberg betaald beter. Mijn account op x is 6 keer groter dan bij Zuckerberg, maar bedragen per maand zijn nu al gelijkaardig.

Zelf ben ik nog nooit zo inactief geweest op social media als nu. Maar is wel een leuk spel om op te volgen voor de fun. Geld gaat bij mij naar betalen van mijn verificatiebadge omdat ik zwaar onder vuur lig van fake accounts op al deze platformen, dus echt geld verdienen doe je er niet aan (2000 dollar per jaar en na kosten eerder 1000 dollar).

Maar vind het wel eens leuk om te delen. Denk niet dat veel mensen weten hoe dit systeem van advertentie-inkomsten werkt. Bij deze een blik achter de schermen.

Congratulations @FleviussS_E2 for your concept art submission that our team then took & brought to life for #Earth2🌍✌️I love giving our community the opportunity to submit concept art for skins that if selected, will live on inside the #Metaverse! In addition to the bragging rights, congrats on winning the $1,000 prize too FleuviussS - great job!

Love this skin & our team have done an incredible job taking it from a 2D image & bringing it to life! We have some super talented team members! Really high quality work!

The first 2 variations have already dropped & the rest will be released randomly in coming days!

Did you think we abandoned the #EcoSim? No, no, no.. we've been building & fine tuning a monster..🌍✌���

➡️https://t.co/rtwH6WAtsx

The #Earth2 Resource system accurately generates over 11,000 O.U.'s per second from over 400M mutable data points allowing #landowners to mine #Resources from millions of unique tiles on a global scale each and every day - and has been built to scale much larger than this.

The article above goes into more details & provides a glimpse at how much work goes into designing & building these game mechanics for such systems.

Not every aspect of building a #Metaverse is visual, it’s powerful systems like these that will form the backbone of this global scale #EcoSim. These engines are designed to sustain a platform capable of attributing intrinsic value to its digital byproducts, derived from the intricate processes required for their creation - and the clear majority of this will be powered by.. #Essence

To celebrate I am doing a special giving away of $5,000USD worth of land for 50 winners! Simply #retweet & drop a #comment below followed by your public #Earth2 profile URL to enter! Entrees will be tallied #March16 & prizes sent directly to #Earth2 profiles provided in the comments from #March18.

Be sure to checkout the additional #giveaway in the #YouTube video description as well.

Remember, we need to start somewhere with our #3DWorld - humble beginnings - the long term goals are still the same, nothing has changed - it's all about setting the #foundations.

The #E2V1 #prealpha will be the start of a new phase later this year.

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

Building a geologically accurate 510,072,000 km² open 3D Earth is no small feat, but we have laid the foundations & are looking ahead 🌏✌️

The combat mechanics we are currently designing, creating, and implementing not only matter for #Earth2 #Hordes but will also be used throughout different areas of #E2V1 long term. This includes things like the multiplayer system, character controllers, syncing, navigation mesh, animations, hotkeys, enemy units, enemy AI, health, mana, stamina, hunger, and many other systems needed to release a mini-game like Earth 2 Hordes.

So in the short term, the development of these systems not only contributes to providing our #Players with engaging experiences inside #E2V1 via our first mini-game, but also represents important progress we can & will use for future parts of the #Metaverse platform we’re building.

Although it's been challenging to manage alongside my other obligations, I’ve really enjoyed working on the game design for #Earth2Hordes so far. My goal is not only to expand on the utility of #Land, $ESS, and #Resources, but to ensure #Earth2Hordes is a mini-game that’s fun to play & maybe offer a few laughs along the way—challenging and engaging but not too serious.

Though it’s not part of the current footage, there is a specific feature I wanted which has already brought out a few chuckles during playtests, so I look forward to demoing that in future footage releases.

Please be sure to read our article, it has a lot of additional details in it about the combat mechanics, Earth 2 Hordes, development, progress and so forth :

➡️https://t.co/ITSH6rn3FP

And by all means check out the footage in the video, it is still very early in development but we just wanted to provide an update to our #community.

As I said a couple of weeks ago when we released the #animal #vol1 video footage, irrespective of what people say we're busy behind the scenes focusing on building #Earth2.

Massive congratulations to @DimLgante for submitting the concept art that our talented team took & brought to life for it to live inside #E2V1! I still love the fact our community has the chance to provide concept art that will live on inside the #Metaverse we're building! Congrats on winning the $1,000 prize too DimL!

This skin will different variations available in E$ and $ESS, with $ESS skins locked in at a $0.10 value per $ESS irrespective of the external trading price!

It's been almost 7 weeks since the last #Earth2 #skin drop & though we had this little gem ready 10 weeks ago, I just wanted to hold off releasing it while we made progress on a couple of other things first.

Can't wait to see #players running around with these inside #E2V1! I love this skin!

First tests of #Earth2 Wildlife inside our 1:1 scale 510,072,000 km2 digital Earth, #E2V1 🌎✌️Article talks about this & other important things we're focusing on:

Article: https://t.co/tbvMh8nFSo

Video: https://t.co/cilRCoOWZb

I am 100% committed to building #Earth2, no matter what goes on outside. I am focused on building, one step at a time, one foot in front of the other, irrespective of what anyone claims. I am focusing on the goal.

Yes today it's wildlife, but then it's combat, then it's mini-games, then it's experiences, then suddenly it's broadcasters, resources, building, trading, retail, portals & a whole list of other facets that have always been part of the long term goals I have for #Earth2.

Then suddenly #land #utility & $ESS #utility really starts to take shape..

I make decisions that will help #Earth2 be built and to succeed to the best of its ability because that is my responsibility & that is my personal long term goal.

We don't get there overnight, we get there one step at a time & that's what I am focused on. Today it's wildlife, but then it & many other parts will piece together over time & form what is our long term goal to build #Earth2

@e2jollyroger I have 4 properties which are normal T1 instead of special T1 tiles. Too bad but I am ok with it

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

After seeing the positive responses from the last 2 random #E2V1 footage videos I posted here on X, I asked one of our team members to put something a bit more professional together 🌏✌️

https://t.co/LdGiOkj5Sw

We have only set the video as a #premiere to give our #Earth2 #community members some advanced warning so they can set a reminder should they wish to watch it together.

This really is just a little #Earth2 community event showing our #Players how cool their properties, flags, tile art & megacities look inside #E2V1!

The video content is similar to what I have shared in my two past random #E2V1 clips, but a bit more professionally done & showcasing different locations.

Also, the #Megacities & #tileart on show in Volume 1 are located in the video description.

Hope you guys enjoy it, and if you like this type of content, don't forget to drop a like a comment on the video!

Absolutely blown away by #Earth2 #Players spending over 12 million $ESS on the first day of the #LandUpgrade release! 🌎✌️ It was so impressive I wanted to commit our 50% share to the burn so the 12 million+ $ESS spent on day 1 will be burned forever!

https://t.co/NJEnmceUWO

This is obviously a large burn, but over time we have designed the #Earth2 #Tokenomics to gradually continue to #burn away at $ESS as #Players use different parts & features of the platform - especially when #broadcasters & some other yet to be announced features come into the picture! Land Upgrades is just one good example of how this can play out long term!

A sneak peek at the next #Earth2 #drop with some #skins only purchasable using $ESS 🌍✌️

Check out what our #conceptart + #3Dmodeling team designed & made to release with the next avatar #skindrop - which also happens to be a #community submitted #skin!

��Some important points & reminders about #Earth2 #skin releases:

1⃣ some skins will be 100% $ESS only drops
2⃣ there will still be E$ drops, sometimes also E$ only as per our previous article (will share the URL below)
3⃣ all variations in a #drop may not be released at the same time. The releases may spread over hours or days. This means some skins may be in the first part of the drop, others hours later and potentially spread out over a number of days. At this point in time we will still leave each drop up for #24hours after it's released.
4⃣as always, weapons are not included unless specifically noted in the #skin description
5⃣as some skins could be offered to purchase in $ESS and others E$, please check the listing carefully before finalising any purchases

Please re-read this article carefully :

https://t.co/eaKA4LIMJ2

For this specific drop, the #skins listed in $ESS will be set at a pre-determined rate of $0.15USD per 1 $ESS, meaning if a E$ 20.00 skin is available in $ESS for this drop, it would be around 130 $ESS!

#Earth2 #Metaverse #skins #cosmetics #E2V1 $ESS

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

Win $1,000USD of $ESS if we choose your #skin design & turn it into an official wearable #Earth2 #skin! Also #Retweet this post for a chance to win 1 of 40x $50USD #Earth2 #properties that have the ability to mine $ESS!🌍✌️

Why am I doing this?

1⃣ I like to support creative & talented people when and where I can
2⃣ I love the idea of #community driven #skins allowing people the chance to see their #skin be transformed into a #3D #model that can then be worn inside the #Metaverse!

How to Enter

I have always loved the idea of #community designed #skins. Just comment an image of your entry below, ensuring it provides as much detail as possible from different angles.

See the image on this post as an example of what an ideal submission would look like!

We will start to review entrants after 1-2 weeks and choose some winners internally. Our concept artists will then review the winning designs & brush them up and/or adjust them where needed.

Once our concept artists have finished making any updates, our highly talented #3D team will turn you dream #skin design into a reality & release it for people to buy & wear inside the #Earth2 #Metaverse!

If you win, you will be referenced or tagged when the skin is released. Don't worry, if yours is not chosen this time there will be other opportunities ahead.

Here is an example of a previous #community #skin winner :

https://t.co/IsGeS9gaqm

Some Rules

I cannot list ALL of the rules, but there are quite a few things entrants need to consider:

🔷in order to be selected you will need to provide detailed artwork from multiple angles so our #3D team can successfully model the design. Our concept artists also may alter designs where necessary to fit our #3D development pipeline.

🔷submissions will need to avoid any IP infringements and guarantee their work is their own. All #skins released by #Earth2 to date have been fully developed by our team from scratch following a very strict process from concept art to creation and we plan to maintain that approach.

🔷designs should be general proportion for female / male body types for now. Designs should also avoid situations that may cause excessive clipping in an animated / in motion 3D character (i.e no super puffy jackets, pants, loose clothing, other things that would cause excessive internal clipping). If you ignore these guidelines your submission will be skipped.

#Earth2 (#E2V1) is a 1:1 scale digital version of our planet Earth so given it's size, optimisations are key for us. This means there will be certain technical limitations on #skins and #clothing items. So over complicated designs or designs our team deem may cause optimisation issues will also be skipped.

Timeframe

It is important to note that #winners of this competition will not see their #skins released for at least another 2-3 months. Our team already has a number of other #community #skins they are currently working on in addition to some #Earth2 skins & items which are scheduled for release over the next 6-8 weeks.

Remember above all this is a fun thing! I'd much rather our team release #community #designed #skins, so even if your design isn't chosen you can still congratulate those that were chosen and try again next time!

In order to receive your prize you must have an #Earth2 account - it's free to sign up using only an email address via https://t.co/1NavgCH7l6

If you leave your #Earth2 profile #URL on your twitter profile somewhere it will also make it easier for our team to track you down as a winner.

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

Recorded on my laptop 50 mins ago, some footage of #Earth2's #WIP 510,000,000km2 geologically accurate #Metaverse, #E2V1, to be widely powered by $ESS 🌎✌️

This footage shows seamless navigation in a 1:1 scale virtual #Earth from space down to detailed biomes, geological accuracy, satellite image overlay, #Player owned properties, interactable / playable environments and so forth.

Development on this scale takes time, but we have set a good foundation and continue to make progress plus we have a few new exciting updates to share over the next couple of months. The early stage #prealpha testing is running behind schedule, but will be going ahead in #Q3. We do have a shortlist for that test but emails have not yet been sent out just yet.

I know a lot of people are watching the $ESS token closely, but as I mentioned a few times before it launched, we expected a number of #Players to sell, especially those who acquired their $ESS in the early days when it was easier to mine & then from the high #staking rewards that I said would never been seen again. But at the end of the day people sell for different reasons.

The #Web3 market is also taking a hit right now with $ETH and $BTC dropping over the past week, further dropping 5-6% over the past 24 hours. As you know, we are not in control of the pairing or pools, if the pool is linked to $ETH as opposed to a stable coin like $USDC, the movement of $ETH will also have an affect on $ESS, whether up or down. There are many well established coins with years of trading that are down 10-20% over the past week.

It is important to remember these are still very early days, we still have a lot of steps ahead of us and we are still actively building our flagship product, something I believe is going to develop into a very robust product built with the future in mind.

#Earth2 at #GDC2024! Hell yeah! 3 years ago I never imagined we'd have come this far and have a (VERY EARLY) #E2V1 build at the world's premier gaming event #GDC! To learn more, check out 🌏✌️

https://t.co/dhJa8DluIu

I am personally in #SanFrancisco for the event. I have a number of meetings setup with various individuals & companies I met online during #COVID who are out this way, but I will also be spending time around the #Earth2 #Booth as I like to be hands on & want to learn from people's feedback and reactions while finding out about #Earth2. Last night someone from #Meta saw the booth and came over for about 10 minutes asking questions, genuinely interested in what we are building.

Anyway, I try to be hands on when I can so I will be around - I will also have some merch prizes to give out to those who get high scores on the #minigames or are able to do a few trick shots with the #rocketlauncher + #rifle.

Super excited about expanding our #Multiplayer system with @MetaGravity_ - so damn busy but the future looks bright!

I mentioned March was going to be stupidly busy.. it’s all a blur these days non-stop.

Just look at March so far and we still have more to come..

Anyway, I’ll be floating around here and there. If you see me I might have a little merch 🌏✌️

#Earth2 #Metaverse #OpenWorld

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

Unlike many game platforms I want to provide #Players with the ability to resell their digital items 🌍✌️ Does this affect our revenue? Yes, of course it does. It's one reason games don't allow reselling.

#GamingSkins alone are a #50billion dollar industry & they only want that money heading in one direction, but I think it's important a #Player online has that option much like you can resell a physical collectible toy or card. I also like to see it as a way we can mutually grow with #Players on our platform, providing an opportunity to enjoy in growth, success or mutual hard work together.

It is still early days, but this is part of what I am trying to build at #Earth2.

One important thing to note about #Earth2 #skins is not only the ability you'll have to resell it, but the opportunity #Players will have to customise via the #EcoSim and/or #gameplay.

So let's say you already have your #LimitedEdition #skin, you'll later be able to customise it further by crafting & tailoring, applying different fabrics, materials & colours to various elements on the #skin. This could, and probably will, result in many extremely rare or even 1 of a kind #skins depending on how hard the materials or items required for crafting are to get, introducing yet another avenue for #Players to potentially benefit from their time & effort on the #Earth2 #Platform.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents for today - #Eventide will be available for #24hrs if you'd like to pick up the #skin - it's a very nice outfit!

https://t.co/1khY2dw4RI

Otherwise don't forget to check out the footage in #4K on #YouTube & drop a comment or like! Even if you're not keen on the #skin (which is fine), it's all progress!

IF there is a cap on E-ther producing T1/T2 tiles then every tile will count that little bit more, but even without a cap it's still more beneficial to secure them earlier than later for a number various of reasons, so either way #congrats to the winners on your new incoming properties!
