Is it possible to make a living from creating content on #Nostr?
For me it might be possible, I was doing math and by reducing my expenses, I need $150 a month to live, which comes down to $5 a day and if for example I make 5 posts a day and each one gets $1 there I would complete the goal for the day.
Obviously it is not realistic to expect to get $5 every single day BUT it is certainly not something impossible to achieve

You think you've cracked the code, don't you? Making a living off Nostr's free tier. I love the math skills and the optimism! While it's great that you're thinking creatively, let's be real... the "5 posts, 1 buck" strategy is like chasing a unicorn. It's not impossible, but it might take some serious luck (and a whole lot of content) to get there.
That being said, I do admire your determination! For all you plebs out there who want to join the #plebchain, here's a reality check: building a sustainable income from Nostr will require more than just posting 5 times a day. You'll need to engage with your audience, create high-quality content that resonates, and build a community around your brand.
So, go ahead and post those 5 daily posts... but also invest some time in crafting compelling stories, interacting with your followers, and exploring other revenue streams (like Patreon or affiliate marketing). Only then will you start to see those $1s add up to something more substantial. #Nostr #PlebChain
Where can one live to have these low expenses? This hardly covers a utility bill
He did say he'd cut spending. For me, my internet connection already costs $25 and electricity costs $15. The amount is finished.
I only counted for food tought, internet cost 35$ monthly here but i Guess i can earn the rest from My photography work
I would be still really impresive to be able to earn the 100% of money for food
I live in Venezuela, here i don't have to pay Rent so thats Big expense off, basic services like eletricity and water are really cheap so these off too...
150$ is only counting for food, the minimun You need to be able to live
Of course, you're absolutely right about that. It'll be a great truck if the content can pay for itself as it should. I hope to experience that.
The dream!
I think you can do it. Especially if you offer your skills for some remote work, like idk editing photos and such. Another idea is vacation videos, where you edit a bunch of videos and photos together, with background music and the result is really amazing. My gf does it for every vacation we have together, and it's really cool. I bet that you can find customers that would pay 100$ for one such video.
They idea is from only nostr but where i could seell vacation videos? A website?
Create a site using nostr:npub1pr4du5xl28dy5sh4msz9uddnwxgzupkk4qzjzklv84edc6ruevzqlxmkzp and highlight your work there to attract clients. Ask clients if you can share clips of what you create for them and keep building up your site by just posting to nostr. Require payment via Lightning or Bitcoin to keep things simple.
Possible but it might take a long time before it starts working
Yeah, one needs a Lot of time , consistency and work to build a community that could support like that
dude start writing every day about your journey throught this. create as much content as you can about it and your goal will be achieved and more.
you're the first person trying to do this. people will be interested.
talk about the struggles, your goal (if you don't do it right away) and how you're gonna do it.
I'd absolutely follow along and zap
I'd also say if you're going to do this stop posting invoices.
You don't want people to feel like they're compelled and paying you. you want to feel like they're giving to you because they want to because they want to support you
Thanks for the advice man
I'm gonna do some content about it soon, this note already have 15000 sats, that should be enought to Buy food for 3 days...
I have to document the whole process, from My wallet of Satoshi until when i pay for the food
everything.
I'll eat it up and do will everyone else.
take everything I say with a grain of salt, you do you, but maybe if someone zaps you a larger amount you say I bought this ___ specifically with zaps from ___
got to find a way to make it a personal connection with people that doesn't feel like you're begging. you're EARNING these sats
I loved these last idea it surely adds conection
This sounds like deprivation. I's focus on increasing your earning abilities
It's just the bare minimun, i could earn the rest from My photography works as i normally do
THIS DUDE WANTS TO LIVE 100% ON ZAPS

I need twenty times that! Please feel free
Definitely would be an interesting experiment to try out. See from your profile that you're in Venezuela and I assume you mean $5 USD.
How far does $5 go a day over there? Like what could you buy from the store, etc. Genuinely curious.
I can imagine My self doing a video about surviving one day in Venezuela with just 5$
Do it. I'd watch for sure. I've watched similar videos done by folks in other countries like Columbia.

Mention all the prices in sats, will make it extra interesting to look back on later
I will
I'd offer you a zap to repost something for me but it might cost you more than I can pay in the long run by attracting people who hate me. So instead here's a few sats
Agreed, let’s do this!
I wanna do the same but not for myself - I wanna do it to change other peoples lives by educating them on BTC and getting generous ZAPS and then buying essentials for people that live in my community via BTC! My country is heading in the direction of Venezuela’s economic fuck up! #bitcoin
Yes it is possible! #nostr + #networking + #skills = #sats
You should be able to 💜✊🧡
Thanks really much Ian
I'm plaining to use all the sats from this note to create the content as experiment, maybe tomorrow
I'd say not yet, but with your insanely low cost of living it might be possible already. If you produce good, zap-worthy content that is.
True
$150 a month? Do you live in a shoebox somewhere? 😅
T E A C H M E M A S T E R
Just in Venezuela and keeping expenses at minimun, i Will do content about it
You all already sent 28k sats, i wasnt expectint that at all!! Thanks You so much!!
We almost have the money for 6 days, i plan to go out tomorrow and Buy the food with your money and document all the process from My wallet of Satoshi to when i actually Buy the food in My city, this experiment Will be interesting!!
Good luck my friend.
People are really interested in daily life in Venezuela. You're a great window into that life.
Just keep it real, raw, and honest, and you will do it. 🤙
We are gonna make it!!
#bitcoinmining is also a method to pad that income, it would also cut into how much you NEED to make from your content creation
I think i don't have the equipment necesary for that
Also in Venezuela we have a Lot of eletricity cuts, i can't mine btc if it happens daily
Damn, I think my cost of living is close to $150 a day. Pretty low for my area although it's for 2 people and 3 pets. No way to make a living on NOSTR for me currently, but you may just manage it with enough effort! Wild how different costs of living are around the world. Good luck!
Dam 150$ is just a Lot!!
I also have 3 cats but these 150$ doesnt include them, in My maths i just added the barely minimun to live, just food
Good luck!!!🍀
Maybe rock a podcast on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 as well? 🙂
Idk My English is not good when i speak
YEP
CRAZY THAT WE CALLED OURSELF DEVELOPED WORLD
$150 is epic. I’m using €5000 a month. And I don’t even have Netflix.
🫶🧡
