⚡️🗣️ Can you make a living on Nostr? Here's my feedback:

In 101 days of activity, I received 624,193 satoshis - a huge thank you to everyone!

This represents an average of around 6,180 sats per day, or about $4.50/day, for 7 to 8 hours of daily work.

🔹 My opinion - I think it's possible to make a living from Nostr, but you have to be realistic: it's very hard to get started. Building an audience takes time, consistency and commitment.

I should also point out that my average is skewed by several major donations (notably from nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj73yn3f8 nostr:nprofile1qqs04yxqjhrweg0a8qfmav70kp2gxm86y97ef8ff4zf66gzjxy379tqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehhyctwvajhq6tvdshxgetkk4vdh3 nostr:nprofile1qqsg8lg8m6dhvve5ejw5dunctsj43ekza2l705xxass5ve7t4mzs63cpz4mhxue69uhkg6t5w3hjuur4vghhyetvv9uszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wf6xzmrt9ehhyee0s639rj , to whom I extend my warmest thanks), which have greatly increased the daily average.

In reality, I'm averaging around 1,000 to 2,000 sats/day in normal times, or about $0.73 to $1.46/day, which remains modest for the moment.

But I'm still hopeful, because I feel the potential is there, especially if the ecosystem continues to develop.

🔹 My middle-term goal: 0.1 btc would be incredible

🔹 My long-term goal: 1 btc, I literally stop working and devote myself exclusively to my activity on Nostr.

I've been transparent with you from the start, and I'll continue to be. Thanks again to all of you, and let's continue to make Nostr attractive.

You got all it takes, never stop.

Okay 😅 🫂 I'd like to add a special thank you to nostr:nprofile1qqs0ulmtcmmn8zmkh0uqmdqz4hn9j5lzpvhj8enw3xpqfd3ucsjnngcprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2avlg9w , with whom I have a very special relationship. Our meeting is atypical lol. By the way, I advise you to check out his YouTube channel, where he does excellent work and hosts quality guests.

Love this. Keep pushing & keep showing up. You’re doing great. The fiat price tag of your value is measured when spent. 🧡🗽💜

Thank you very much nostr:npub1vm7echqz9wl9hzpmsm5225x8m8ys6286y3r4f38hxtndl6gledvqassm7s

Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqs0rwg34uw854s88cac8wn74f5pgecypc8mhhfx23z64q8xtsn5cgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuq3kamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarjv9exzcnfvyhxxmmdzd8cyy, it's nice to be read.

Gosh. Curation is high-effort work—you not only have to take in a huge amount of news but you have to weigh each post against your gut feeling for whether it ought to be sent or not. If the value that Nostr attaches to your work is 1,000 to 2,000 sats per day then either (a) Nostr isn't valuing your work fairly, or (b) the work, while high-effort, just isn't of significant intrinsic value in this context. Both can't be true at once.

If you don't have pressure to earn something non-trivial for your 8 hours per day and this is all an investment gamble that you're willing and able to take then fair enough, respect, may the odds be with you.

Otherwise, why not explore some related business model here that might tilt the scales of fairness more in your favour, or at least see if they can be so tipped? Zap thresholds, that kind of thing? Or you've already given it a go (or some serious thought) and it's a non-starter for some reason?

There's a solid chain of proof of work on your npub already. Keep it up.

POW ⚡.

Keep up the POW

Always 🫡

Thats a lot, wiith that amount you could live a comfortable life in my country

So yes it is possible

I like your transparency. 🫂 I think it’s great to share honest insights and not sell pipe dreams. Thanks for sharing. I wish one day you’ll be able to retire.

Thank you very much for your message nostr:nprofile1qqs8p9lzf3nggykr5t9st34vpv38zskgk6z062dzt92lqae8z7vp5gqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyw8wumn8ghj7un9d3shqtn0wfa8vtnhdaexketjwvhxgetkrrfpmz, it means a lot to me. I try every day to give the best of myself, both in my work and in my way of being. Honesty is one of my fundamental values, and I try to preserve it in everything I do 🫂

Keep pressing forward. Hard work pays off. In the past, I suggested that people should rally around content creators around. You and a handful of others are literally helping to keep this place afloat at this stage. I recognize your posts. The devs are great additions. But without users actually posting content every day, whats the incentive for other people to come and stay? I even suggested *hiring* a handful of content creators months ago to help build the foundation of communities. I’m sure y’all would love to do what you do and get paid a salary . It’s not a far fetching idea. But you know my ideas tend to fall on deaf ears around here. Without traditional ads and the methods used on other platforms, content creators who want to get paid have no real monetary incentive to come over here and stay. People around here can put on blinders and pretend like everything is ok but we all can tell this place is empty. Therefore, I appreciate your daily contributions. You deserve all of your sats. I hope you get more including 1 Bitcoin. Furthermore, you made it past the 30 day mark. 🫂

Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqs8p9lzf3nggykr5t9st34vpv38zskgk6z062dzt92lqae8z7vp5gqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyw8wumn8ghj7un9d3shqtn0wfa8vtnhdaexketjwvhxgetkrrfpmz. I'm determined to keep going, thanks to people like you who are my fuel. Yes 😅, I'm well past the 30-day mark, and I've even made a proof of work of my first 100 days here.

👏👏👏

I saw it trending. I didn’t respond when I saw it but I noticed it. I’m very observant. I notice a lot of things around here. 🙃

👀🫡

Follow me so you don't miss anything, not all my publications are trending.

I will in the future. 🫂

624k Sats is awesome, Flash. That’s 0.00624 BTC. Keep stacking and posting, the First Million Sats is getting closer!

Yes sir 🫡

Great content! Keep going!

Thank you Joseph

There are people for whom this could be life-changing. 👏 cheers to the early #v4v pioneers. When you provide value, you build community and receive value back.

Great content. Create a second/third account using AI and post in spanish, german and french.

Especially in German! I have kids on nostr from school who are not fluid in English.

Very good idea thank you very much, I need to find out how I can do this. Can AI automatically translate my posts and publish them on my French, German and Spanish accounts?

I don't think there's any need? People should just use a client that translates automatically for them, like Amethyst

Amethyst is currently only available for Android, I believe.

In my opinion your time is best spent focusing on English

The problem is that I have very little free time to take on another language. So either I manage to automate or I give up.

It should be possible yes!

Don't bother with German. I post in German, all the time, and hardly anyone responds or the responses are all in English.

I know and i don’t need it, but there might be an additional revenue service for a minimum of work. Don’t underestimate the german community.

That's actually a lot, around here. I just checked, and I'm averaging about 280 sats/day, the last two weeks.
