Okay, so we know nostr is different. Decentralization means no algorithms controling your feed. Better yet, you can control your own feed. Mute stuff you don't like. Join a relay that filters stuff according to your interests (shameless plug for nostr:npub1h8lhed2da096g2wcsh2crmyvenune046rqkejc8f8pcaag8qj25qqadp5p our muslim relay). Explore the "other stuff" and start your own community. There are lots of options!

But, what does advertising and marketing look like in such a strange place like nostr?

One thing for sure, it must be different. A lot of folks here found nostr because they didn't like what they found in other SM spaces. To become a clone of those platforms and repeat their marketing stratagies and tactics should not be expected to return the same results here.

Zap adverts have been seen as the nostr unique method for marketing in this space. Two studies have been done that are quite useful to review.

I would strongly encourage reading through both these (and the comments of the posts) to get an idea of what might work if advertising is something you look to do on nostr.

I'll add some more thoughts in the comments to this post but wanted to share and get the convo rolling as we build out our own space here.

What about this nostr zapping stategy do you like? What do you not like?
