One of my most popular casts ever was entitled:

$DEGEN Tip Allowances & wtf to do? 

Using GPT + "Airdrop 2 Tip Allocations" code, I asked for a plan on how to best increase mine. (Within the parameters of genuine engagement, not farming.)

The code has since changed so I'm back with an updated Top 10 list:

1. Original Content Creation: Prioritize making original casts consistently, as the allowance calculation still values original content highly. More casts can improve your engagement metrics and place you in a higher tier for median reaction calculations.

3/12

2. Maximize Community Reactions: Strive to increase the number of unique reactions to your content. Engaging and interactive posts that resonate with the community can significantly boost your reaction count, directly influencing your allowance.

4/12

3. Sustain Long-Term Engagement: The updated code continues to reward long-term activity through a "retroactive boost" based on your activity duration. Continuous engagement from your first cast date is essential for maximizing this aspect of your allowance.

5/12

4. Daily Engagement: With daily statistics playing a crucial role in the allowance calculation, ensure you have a presence on the platform every day. Regular activity can cumulatively enhance your allowance prospects.

6/12

5. Quality over Quantity: While maintaining active engagement, focus on the quality of your interactions. High-quality content that elicits more reactions can positively affect your median reaction metrics, which are pivotal in the allowance calculation.

8/12

7. Utilize Verified Ethereum Address: Ensure your Ethereum address is verified with your profile, as the updated code places importance on verified addresses for allowance eligibility, indicating potential integration with cryptocurrency or token rewards.

9/12

8. Engage with Special Initiatives: Stay informed about any platform events, challenges, or airdrops. Participating in these could provide additional points or recognition, influencing your overall allowance.

10/12

9. Avoid Disqualification: Adhere to platform guidelines to prevent disqualification. The updated code explicitly excludes disqualified users from allowance calculations, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive standing within the community.

11/12

10. Adapt to Policy Changes: Keep abreast of any updates or changes in the platform's policies, especially those affecting allowances (e.g., the reduction adjustment mentioned in the code). Being proactive and adaptable can help you optimize your strategy in response to these changes.

I hope this list brings value to someone. Understanding reach, social media, & how to best utilize it has always been something I regretted not putting time into.

Farcaster gave us a mulligan, starting over at the same time as everyone else. This time I'm making the most of it & hope that you will too. 💙

6. Be Aware of Reward Tiers: Understanding and aiming for specific activity thresholds (e.g., cast counts) can help you leverage the tiered system of median reactions to your advantage. Plan your engagement to strategically move up the tiers.
