My First Week on BULB: How Much $BULB I Earned & What Worked (Honest Review)
Yo Fam, Been on BULB for exactly one week now, full grind mode since I saw the ambassador program drop and decided to test if this Write-to-Earn/Read-to-Earn thing really pays for real people like us in Africa. No hype, no fake screenshots just what actually happened, how much $BULB landed in my wallet, what burned my energy fast, and the small tricks that got me ranking higher than I expected.
➠ First day setup was easy. Signed up at bulbapp.io (used a referral link from BULB group chat for bonus energy always take those if you see one). Got my daily energy bar right away (starts around 30 points free, resets every 24 hours). Profile simple: added bio, pic, connected Phantom wallet for claims later. No KYC stress, Solana speed is nice no waiting forever like some chains.
➠ Week started slow. Monday/Tuesday I mostly lurked: read 10-15 articles (mostly crypto explainers and life takes), reacted with hearts, dropped 3-4 short comments like “solid breakdown bro” or “this hits different in Africa”. Each read/react/comment eats small energy but stacks BULBmojis (those emoji badges). Got mostly basic class ones at first low points but they add up. Didn’t write yet because I wanted to understand what content gets traction.
➠ By Wednesday I flipped to creating. Posted my first short piece: “BULB x moove.xyz Partnership: Finally, Easy Crypto Cashouts for Creators on Solana”. Burned about 30 energy on it (writing eats more than reading). Got 12 reads, 5 reacts, 3 comments back felt good. That post alone gave me higher-class BULBmojis (Writer class I think), which convert to more points. Tip #1: Quality over quantity. One thoughtful post > 10 spam reactions. My points jumped from bottom of leaderboard to mid-pack overnight.
Energy management was the biggest lesson. You can’t do everything daily energy caps you. I learned to prioritize:
- 30 points on writing/editing one solid post.
- 5 points on deep meaningful comments (not “nice” spam actual thoughts get better moji classes).
- 1 point on reacts/reads to support others (helps community, and sometimes they return the favor).
➠ Thursday/Friday I doubled down. Wrote two more: one on “I JOINED T-RIZE AS AN AMBASSADOR IN JULY 2025, AND OVER THE MONTHS, THE EXPERIENCE HAS GENUINELY CHA” and a quick thread-style post on BULB mechanics (teased the guide I dropped earlier). Engaged heavy in comments under big posts people notice genuine replies. Ended up with 28 posts read by others, 18 reacts on mine, 11 comments given/received. Points climbed steady. Leaderboard refreshed daily, I ranked 6th on leaderboard (out of thousands, that’s decent for week 1).
➠ Saturday/Sunday grind peak. Burned almost full energy both days: wrote a longer one on ambassador perks (why apply from Africa view), read premium stuff (unlocked a few with points), commented on 6+ threads. Total interactions this week: ~50 (reads + reacts + comments + shares + my 4 posts).
Now the real number: Weekly claim hit Monday morning UTC (around 8am my time). From the reward pool (they drop hundreds of thousands $BULB weekly), my rank got me… 7500 $BULB. Yeah, not life-changing yet price is low (~$0.00002 range on small DEX pools), so that’s like $0.15 in value right now. But here’s the honest part: it’s free crypto for doing what I already do chatting crypto, writing takes, reading dope stuff. No ads, no boss. And with ambassador possible (3x energy perk would change everything), stacking more weekly makes sense.
What really worked:
• Consistency: Logged in daily, even 20-30 mins.
• Genuine engagement: Comments that add value got me more moji classes and replies.
• Mix actions: 60% create/engage, 40% read/react to balance energy.
• Community: Replied to others’ posts, got shoutouts back snowballs points.
• Track leaderboard: Checked daily to see what pushes rank (writing > everything).
What didn’t: Spamming reacts early wasted energy for low points. Learned quick.
Bottom line: First week earned 7500 $BULB, climbed leaderboard, built habit. Price hurts a bit (DEX thin, no big listing push yet), but earning feels fair more users/activity = bigger pool later. If you’re in Africa grinding crypto discussions anyway, BULB fits perfect. Low risk, real ownership.
