PRODUCT: Be Braver, Earn More with Swash Ads
sApps — one of Swash’s First Wave Solutions — is now live with the release of Swash Ads (sAds). Swash enters the world of digital advertising with the launch of sAds, the first of many Earn More opportunities for internet users looking to amplify their passive earnings while setting new standards for advertising.
We’re kicking off 2023 with a bang.
As part of a groundbreaking development in the Swash ecosystem, we are excited to announce that Swash Ads (sAds) is now live for all verified Swash Data Union members!
sAds is the first of the Earn More features within the Swash app. Earn More will be a one-stop shop for new ways to maximise your earnings within the Swash ecosystem and the broader Web 3 passive income space.
Soon after the release of sAds, you’ll be able to opt-in to complete surveys, watch videos, take quizzes and much more.
Why here? Why now?
By now, most of us are aware of the way advertising works online. We know that our data is valuable primarily because it is used to fuel the ads that we see whenever we open a new webpage or scroll on social media.
What is less known is how limited this model is.
The world of advertising is undergoing a major upgrade, being forced to adapt when the inefficiency of existing methods are now crystal clear. Although ad spending in the digital advertising market is at an estimated $616bn, over 763.5 million people currently use ad blockers, leading to an estimated $81bn wasted on ad fraud and bots.
Advertisers lack viable alternatives to the current model. Consumers are tired of annoying, badly targeted ads. Advertisers include a vast range of businesses who simply want to get in front of their target audience. To do this in a digital space means relying on only a few dominant players, such as Google and other tech giants, with few effective alternatives.
On the other hand, everyday internet users are burdened with annoying ads that are rarely relevant due to the low quality data used to fuel them. However, when people are given the chance to opt-in and are compensated for their attention, such as with Brave, the tables turn.
With over 50 million users at the time of writing, it’s clear that people are waking up to the fact that they too deserve to be valued within the digital economy and are willing to act on it.
Know your worth — Get Swash Ads
While Swash users receive earnings for their ad attention, advertisers can target a new, hard-to-reach, fully opted-in audience with cookieless zero-party advertising methods.
How to Earn More
Now, verified Swash app users can opt-in to start earning from sAds.
Not a member yet? Get the app here.
Verify yourself by going to the Profile section where you can add your email, phone number, and share basic information about yourself so Swash can confirm you’re not a bot.
As this is a huge development for the Swash app, sAds will launch in beta. This means that, although you can start earning straight away, we’re still testing the feature and there may be bugs. If you spot anything you think we should know about, contact the team at dev@swashapp.io or file a ticket on Discord.
Once verified, go to the Earn More section within the Swash App. Here, you will see several toggles which allow you to choose what kind of ads you’d like to see.
Full Page Ads — The New Tab Experience (NTX)
When you open a new tab on your browser, the new tab will feature a fully customisable space where you can choose what you want to see including widgets, jokes, gifs, and more.
Soon, when you scroll down from the NTX, you’ll also find the Swash News feed where you can tailor your sources by site or category.
Ads show as a full page image and also integrated within the Swash News feed.
Push Notifications
Push notifications appear in the form of small text-based popups which appear in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
Integrated Display Ads
When you’re looking at a list of search results or on certain webpages, small banner ads will appear alongside the content of the page.
