With the recent hype about PolyCub and everything going on around it, LeoFinance came up with another huge announcement for the LeoFinance community and especially for LEO Power Hodlers:

Introducing the New LeoAds Mechanic | LEO POWER Balances Will Begin Growing with Built-In APY From LeoFinance Ad Revenue

Takeaways from The new LeoAds Mechanic

Here's some highlights of what's written in this article and why it got everyone pumped up:

Leofinance is generating incomes through LeoAds campaign
LeoFinance is planning to share Ads revenue to LEO Power Hodlers generating passive income
Another use case added to LEO Token
4%-10% APY is expected from Ads sharing revenues
APY can go higher with more traffic and acitivity on the Leofinance platform.

Not only does Leofinance rewards their Authors for sharing decent contents, but will also share additional revenues with stakeholders.

Behind the Added APY

I've never knew that LeoFinance make this much revenues from Ads estimated to be no less than $4,000

Ad revenue varies greatly month-to-month, but it almost always surpasses this $4,000 figure.

With a total Value of LEO Power at $1M, $3,590 are needed to cover the 4% APY monthly which is already achievable.

Ad providers pays revenue via Bitcoin, BTC is used to buy LEO from the market and get distributed to LEO Holders. So here we extract a couple of conclusions:

More rewards for LEO Hodlers
More Buying Power and Better support to the LEO price from external resources
The Possibility to increase APY

Check out the new UI that will be implimented in the upcoming days:

Some Maths: What if Ads Rev jumps to $20,000

So imagine going from $4,000 to $20,000 in Ads Rev monthly, that's a 5x increase and will result in a couple of scenarios:

Assuming Hive is priced at $1, Buying directly, with $20,000, on the open market will lead to this:

Pumping LEO to $0.271 with a slight increase in APY.

Smart and slow buys by not affecting the price will lead to increase to APY 5x from 4% to 20% making a total APR at 40% (curation + LEO Power APY)

While we'll be certainly euphoric with a 50% increase in LEO price (from $0.18 to $0.27), this is not an organic and healthy increase in $LEO Value and will result to a pump and dump. Smart buy will be better for an increased APY will keep a slow and steady price increse in $LEO price while keeping in mind that an additional use case will certainly bring more buyers!

Can we really make Ads Rev jump 5x?

Yes, we Can, Even the Head of Leofinance is confident that we can make higher figures if it's given enough attention. (Most of the attention was on Cub and PolyCub recently)

The point here is that between LeoTeam and LeoCommunity, this 4-10% figure is quite low.. we've gotten to this point without much focus on growing LeoFinance.io.

While the Leo Team are doing their best in increase the market and hire specialized marketers, we DO have a major role to contribute to Platform grownth!

What was funny is that after reading the announcement, I've disabled Ad-Block on LeoFinance, we all hate ads popping up from nowhere but if it'll bring growth to the project and incomes to Hodlers, it's okay to sometimes click some ads (Google Adsense pays per clicked ad).

Sharing contents on twitter, reddit or forums helps bringing more exposure to LeoFinance and Hive in general.

Learning about SEO optimization is what we ought to do if we want leofinance posts to figure on google search first page and I found a couple of great article about SEO:

An example of SEO optimization is making a title that is commonly searched on google and have a sort of clickbait, as a matter of fact, what got me into hive what a blog post with the title: Made $100 For Just Posting

Authors will be more active

Source Here we clearly see the benefits of LEO Power APY:

More incentive to stake LEO
Higher Voting Power
Higher upvotes and posts rewards
Authors motivated to be more active
Additional traffic thus higher AD Rev
Increase in LEO Power APY

Conclusion

The New LeoAds mechanic doesn't only increase LEO Power APY but opens up a virtuous cycle resulting in a more active community, higher incentives and overall growth of the LEO platform.
