There are so many good reasons to join the Grass network. For one, you’ll help pioneer the future of a fairer internet where users directly benefit from their contributions. But in all honesty, the main draw is the Grass rewards!
When you join the Grass network and begin sharing your unused internet, you’ll earn Grass Points. These, in turn, will help determine the Grass Tokens you can receive in future Token drops.
While Grass offers lots of bonuses through its referral program, the easiest way to get started building your Uptime Points stash is by first maximizing your individual earnings.
Here are seven simple tips to get the most Grass Points from your own setup.
1. Keep Grass Running Consistently
Joining the Grass network is a must-do first step, but you won’t actually begin earning Grass Points until you connect to the network and begin sharing your unused internet. Your Grass Uptime Points earnings directly relate to your “uptime.” This is the total time your device is connected and sharing your unused internet with the Grass network.
Whether you’re using your home WiFi or your mobile data plan, every hour of connection counts toward your Grass internet contribution. The difference between casual Grass users and top points earners often comes down to consistency.
Bonus Tip: Set yourself the goal of 100 hours of uptime. Once you’ve hit this milestone, new users will receive a bonus 5,000 Grass Uptime Points!
2. Use Stable Internet Connections
You can’t maintain a consistent connection to the Grass network without internet stability. That makes your internet plan just as important as your uptime habits.
You can share your unused internet through your home WiFi network or through your mobile data plan. WiFi typically offers more stability and doesn’t count against your mobile data limits. That makes it ideal for home use. Mobile data shines when you’re on the go, ensuring that you stay connected to the Grass network even when you’re away from home.
Bonus Tip: If you’re connecting to Grass through your phone, consider upgrading to a plan with unlimited data. Data caps could lead to overage charges or force you to pause your Grass app when you reach your data limit.
3. Add Multiple Devices Safely
If you have a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, and smartphone at home, you can certainly add the Grass app to each device. Just keep in mind that if all these devices are on the same network, you’ll be splitting your Grass rewards across them.
That’s why the key to earning more Grass Points is managing your devices across several different internet networks. For instance, consider running Grass on your phone when you’re out of the house, which will take advantage of your mobile data network. You can even keep your desktop connected to Grass at home, so you’re accumulating uptime across two networks at the same time.
4. Understand When to Pause Sharing
When you start seeing your stash of Grass Points grow on your dashboard, it’s easy to get hooked. Don’t forget, though, that, at the end of the day, you also want a smooth online experience.
The good news is that Grass automatically adjusts or pauses sharing when your internet usage gets high. Ideally, you should never notice any interruption with your internet activities. However, you can also manually pause the Grass app but you will never notice any disruptions!
5. Monitor Your Grass Dashboard
Your Grass dashboard is your command center, so make sure to check it on a regular basis. Your dashboard will show you your connection status across all your available networks to ensure you’re connected and actively sharing your unused internet for maximum points.
The dashboard also shows you your total Grass Points accumulation as well as the day’s earnings, helping you to track your daily progress.
Finally, your Grass dashboard can help you quickly spot connection interruptions. That lets you troubleshoot immediately so you can get back up and running – and earning in no time.
Bonus Tip: One of the dashboard’s more valuable features is an earnings breakdown per network. This lets you prioritize the most productive networks.
6. Keep Your Devices in Good Condition
It’s easy to focus on the strength of your internet connection and your data allowances when it comes to internet sharing with Grass, but don’t overlook your physical devices, either. The health of your desktop, laptop, and phone can impact your ability to earn points consistently.
Here are a few helpful tips:
- Keep your operating systems updated and run reliable antivirus software.
- Always update your Grass app when new versions are released. Updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes.
- Adjust your device’s power settings to prevent sleep mode interruptions. When your computer goes to sleep, Grass stops running.
- Keep your device’s storage and memory healthy by cleaning unnecessary files, closing unused applications, and restarting periodically.
7. Make These Small Adjustments
Even minor tweaks to your setup can boost your Grass rewards over time. Start by putting your computer or laptop in a place where your WiFi signal is the strongest.
Next, minimize anything that can compete for internet capacity if you don’t really need to use it. That means reducing background downloads, cloud syncing, and streaming on other devices. You can also close unnecessary browser tabs and applications that are quietly consuming your internet capacity.
Bonus Tip: Not sure where to position your computer for the strongest WiFi connection? Try moving it closer to your router or installing WiFi extenders if your computer setup is far from your router.
Simple Habits Can Boost Your Grass Rewards
Small adjustments can really add up, especially when it comes to earning Grass Points. Each tip covered in this article might seem minor individually, but together, they can compound over time and significantly increase your internet sharing and Grass Points accumulation. Never forget that more Grass Points can eventually lead to more Grass Tokens.
Once you’ve perfected your personalized Grass setup, you’ll be ready to take the next leap in Grass Points generation: the Grass referral program. But remember, it all starts by signing up for Grass and setting up your account.
