What if the posts you make on social media could earn you money? This is the concept of this developing social network! We’ll explain how it works.
Social networks now occupy an important place in our lives. The majority of people use them and, in 2022, 57% of French people will go there daily, according to a Médiamétrie study. On average, they spent 52 minutes per day on these applications and on WhatsApp-type messaging, a figure varying depending on the age group (1h42 for 11-14 year-olds, 2h19 for 15-24 year-olds and 17 minutes for 65 years and over).
This duration is important, and some seek to make it profitable. For example, TikTok offered a version a few months ago that paid its users for the time they spent on it (around 1 euro per hour). This caused a scandal, with European authorities worrying about the risk of addiction, and the service was canceled. As part of the Polymate social network, which today has more than 400,000 users worldwide, according to figures revealed by the company in a press release, it is the opposite that is proposed: people are paid for their publications .
Its creator, Armel Satchivi explained in 2023 to the newspaper The Marne that this system works thanks to advertising: people who wish to access content must view it. The “Polymater” is then paid for each view and, in exchange, the organization behind the advertising has access to its statistics, for example the age and geographic area of its followers. “Data is worth gold”explained the entrepreneur in another article in the same newspaper.
But what’s the benefit of using this social network? It takes between 0.002 euros and 8 euros per view per publication, and 0.001 euros per call between Polymates, specifies the platform. The benefits stop there for “Novice Polymaters”, those who have between 1 and 500 friends on the social network, but “experts” who have more than 500 subscribers can also earn 1000 per month for the “My Campaigns” program . Whatever the status, money can be withdrawn from 70 euros via Paypal, and it is also possible to pay directly with your kitty at certain merchants. Recently, users can sell their products directly from the platform, and users can buy them with their prize pool.
