# Post-Paying Social Networks Bubblews Offers Paid Status Updates For People Who Post Frequently By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-08-07 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paid-status-updates References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/social-network-pays-users-status-updates/) & [bubblews](http://www.bubblews.com) While some users complain about their newsfeeds becoming cluttered, others are seeking funds in the form of paid status updates. Bubblews is a [social network](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weare8) that allows users to get money for posting their thoughts on the internet. Similar to other social media platforms, Bubblews lets its users post textual updates and follow the updates of others. The users' activity also alters what appears on the newsfeed. But unlike other sites, Bubblews redirects [advertising revenue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beehiiv) to offer paid status updates to the people that post. The more frequently people post, the more they can make -- although you have a limit of 10 updates per day. Their pay is also affected by engagement with their content (stars and comments) and how many people see it (their follower count). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Paid Status Updates:** The trend of paid status updates offers an opportunity for social media platforms to monetize user-generated content. - **Monetized User-generated Content:** The trend of monetized user-generated content creates a new revenue stream for social networks, incentivizing users to actively participate. - **Engagement-based Compensation:** The trend of engagement-based compensation provides an innovative approach to reward users based on the value they bring to the platform. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Media:** The social media industry can leverage the trend of paid status updates to attract and retain active users, while generating additional revenue through advertising. - **Digital Advertising:** The trend of monetized user-generated content presents an opportunity for the digital advertising industry to target a highly engaged audience and increase ad impressions. - **Online Content Platforms:** Engagement-based compensation opens doors for online content platforms to encourage quality contributions and foster a thriving user community. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Social Media Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbl-widget.md) - [Tip-Based Blogger Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-tips.md) - [User-First Social Media Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/user-first-social-media.md) - [Social Media Tipping Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-media-tipping-features.md) - [Task-Based Monetization Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkewards.md) - [Paid Social Media Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchat-2.md) - [Digital Creator Revenue Shifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beehiiv.md) - [Social Media Rewards Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-media-rewards-platform.md) - [Social Streamlining Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/statuz.md)
