Have you ever thought that receiving email ads could be more than just annoying, but actually profitable?

Sounds like a fairy tale, right? However, there’s an innovative project called EtherMail that’s making this a reality. By combining blockchain technology with traditional email systems, EtherMail creates a brand new interaction model for users and advertisers. And the best part? It’s completely free for you!

Let's explore how EtherMail makes it easy for you to earn from airdrops.

1. What is EtherMail?

EtherMail is an email platform powered by blockchain technology. Its goal is to solve several issues in traditional email marketing, such as user privacy protection, ad relevance, user engagement, and ad effectiveness. In simple terms, it makes your inbox secure, fun, and a source of pocket money.

1.1 Read-to-Earn: Get Paid to Read Emails

The core feature of EtherMail is called "Read-to-Earn". Just like scrolling through social media or watching videos, now you can earn crypto points simply by reading email ads.

1.2 EMC and $EMT

Within the EtherMail ecosystem, there are two main tokens: EMC (EtherMail Coins) and $EMT (EtherMail Tokens). Users can earn EMC by creating accounts, referring new users, downloading the app, and reading marketing emails. In the future, EMC can be converted into $EMT, a more advanced token. This means you can earn these tokens effortlessly and at zero cost!

Think of EMC as points. Since the term "points" has a negative connotation and tends to feel like a user trap, they avoid calling it that.

2. EtherMail's Business Logic

You might wonder, does email, an early internet application, still have a market? Isn’t everyone using instant messaging tools like WeChat, WhatsApp, and Telegram now? Can EtherMail’s business model really work?

The following image from EtherMail’s homepage summarizes its business logic perfectly:

• There are 320 billion emails sent daily; if you can’t beat them, use them well.

• The key is protecting user privacy.

• And, by making commercial emails (i.e., junk mail) pay users, you create value exchange.

EtherMail's business model is built on value exchange between advertisers and users. Advertisers can more precisely reach their target audience, and users gain actual rewards by participating in marketing activities. This model not only improves the efficiency of email marketing but also benefits users.

Ultimately, it aims to create a win-win ecosystem for both advertisers and users.

3. How to Earn More Points?

EtherMail is currently in its promotion phase, offering multi-level rewards:

• New User Reward: Create an account to earn 50 EMC, confirm your backup email to earn 200 EMC.

• Referral Reward: Earn 250 EMC for each new user you refer.

• Download Reward: Download the EtherMail app to earn 500 EMC.

• Reading Reward: Continuously earn EMC by reading consensus marketing emails.

Let’s break it down step by step.

Click this link to access the following page, and click the button indicated by the arrow to start registering.

EtherMail offers multiple registration methods; using a wallet like MetaMask or Rabby Wallet is recommended.

Connect your wallet, sign, and enter the following page.

Enter your second email (backup email), and after confirmation, you can earn 200 EMC.

Go to the email you just entered, find the confirmation email, and follow the steps shown below:

Click the email, open it, and click the confirmation link.

After confirming, return to the EtherMail registration page. Next is the privacy setting; you can skip it for now.

Click "Skip" to proceed, and you'll see the following page.

Since it's your first time using the inbox, the system will allocate an encryption key for you.

Click the button to retrieve your mail encryption key, and once successful, you’ll be able to see the inbox content.

Notice the Read2Earn label indicated by the arrow in the image above. This email earns you points when read. But first, let’s check if the points from registration and confirming the backup email have been credited.

Click the arrow in the top right corner, as shown below.

In the pop-up window, you can see that 250 EMC has been credited, but it’s not yet usable since your account hasn’t been verified. Verification requires transaction confirmation, a detail not explicitly outlined by EtherMail. This can be seen as an anti-Sybil measure. Remember, don’t engage in Sybil attacks, as the project team will implement stricter measures against them.

Now, let’s see if opening the Read2Earn email changes your points. Check the top right corner again, and you’ll notice an increase of 5 EMC.

You can click the arrow to send the link to friends, and both of you will earn 250 EMC.

Another chance to earn 500 EMC is by downloading the app to your phone. Click this link to download the app.

Alternatively, search for EtherMail in the app store, connect your mobile wallet to confirm, and follow similar steps for setup.

Conclusion

EtherMail is more than just an email platform; it’s reshaping the future of email marketing.

By integrating blockchain technology, cryptocurrency incentives, and traditional email systems, EtherMail creates a unique ecosystem with the potential to revolutionize digital advertising and online communication.

If email can be reimagined with blockchain, many other Web2 products deserve a try.

From this perspective, the combination of blockchain + X holds infinite possibilities.
