Hey everyone

If you’ve been sitting on more than $25 in your Just About wallet, now would be a great time to check your PayPal balance!

As you hopefully know from clicking on your wallet, $25 is our payout threshold - the magic number which triggers a payment from Just About to your PayPal account. And we just issued our first wave.

Here are a few fun stats:

• 20 Just About members have hit the $25 threshold and been paid real money today

• The top earner has received a hefty $175

• We’ve paid out a grand total of $1,438 to our members today!

We don’t want Just About to become just about money, but it doesn’t seem right that so many social platforms use members’ content to make so much of the stuff without sharing it back.

We believe that there's a way to do this that can drive quality content and better, friendlier communities. To actually see our first members take their earnings off-platform so they can spend them in the real world is a big moment for us; we're all delighted to see another piece of the project sliding into place.

And it’s only the first of many - we’ll pay out around the 1st day of every single month from now on.

Whether you’ve been winning bounties or racking up organic rewards from being brilliant in general, thanks for making Just About a nice place to be!
