Following up on my last post about BBS Network's lack of a unique selling point, here are some of my ideas on how BBS could operate as a gamified social network with the ability to earn passive income the unique selling point.

Imagine a social network where you could buy a whole bunch of content in the form of NFTs. Your purchased content would earn you actual income based on advertising, sponsorship, trades and views.

Your content could periodically come up for renewal either by an auction or paying a fee to keep it. As a curator you would keep the winners and ditch the losers. You could garner real reputation as a curator of great content and sell your services or collections in the ecosystem.

You could purchase virtual land (aka a community) and put your individual NFTs or NFT collections there. Content could be transferred easily between virtual lands. Virtual lands could be bought and sold too. 

You could sell advertising space on your NFTs individually. A space above the fold, one in the middle and one at the end. And spaces in video.

The virtual lands could sell packages as an income stream in their lands. Virtual lands could have single or multiple owners. The more you invest in your land the more interest it creates and the advertisers are flocking to buy space in your land. After fees and royalties were paid, there are profits to be made for the land owners. 

Your virtual land could also have an NFT for special membership benefits like private posts and events. This could generate more income for your land.

Posts from great content creators would be in high demand naturally. A new post from one of these creators with a real reputation for creating great content would be snapped up quickly. There would be lists of most viewed posts, posts with highest paying sponsors, community owner best lists. Search would bring up the most relevant content.

This game is not a gravy train, it is won by entrepreneurs and self-starters willing to take risks and invest their time and money wisely. The viewers also win as do the advertisers and sponsors.

Changing focus by adding a cost for various activities like virtual land purchase, trading fees and royalties would also free up development resources and seed funding for new features focused on the USP plus overall promotion of the BBS network to  attract entrepreneurs and self-starters instead of policing communities, views and content as well as vetting communities and creators in restrictive ways.

It may even be possible to integrate a BBS virtual land or NFTs into other metaverse platforms thereby creating more revenue streams for the content creators, traders, curators, land owners and wider viewership for sponsors and advertisers. Why not be on the leading edge in the space and not on the falling edge as just another wannabe social network with no clear differentiator? There's so much potential. It's not too late to reverse direction.
