I think this reaction to the word "promotion" really highlights how little the movement is trying to help small businesses (the #1 stable, long-term jobs creator) when thinking about how to #growNostr.
Discussion
Hard Disagree. He's right. By promoting yourself on nostr, just post and interact with people. There are plenty doing this that are successful and that's all they did. nostr:nprofile1qqswp94gnm4epqsgjkndl4lnd8krzdj5u4mzuppdtxksdymkty63g7gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skuep0cg36l7 and nostr:nprofile1qqsppdnxpjc82jlm3yn9gawhv7p4nm69a3f80rg5ycw305xned2s0hcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsz9rhwden5te0v9kxwmeww468smewdahx2tcq7d5tl come to mind.
If you're trying to promote your products, then try to get on some podcasts, open source your recipes or procedures, put your products on the marketplace, do zapsnags, go to meetups and shill.
As a small business owner, I feel incredibly welcome.
Interacting with your customers is #1, and I honestly enjoy it. Interact genuinely and have fun.
Appreciate you nostr:npub16ux4qzg4qjue95vr3q327fzata4n594c9kgh4jmeyn80v8k54nhqg6lra7 π«‘
Emailing you about my bad trip was one of the best interactions with a vendor I've ever had.
I realize that I don't buy things on Nostr because I expect a superior product (though that is a nice byproduct) but because I LIKE the people I'm buying from. I came to like you before I decided to buy from you. And it wasn't because you were trending or advertising or anything like that. But because you were participating. And I appreciated that.
Ahhh man thank you, I always have the intention in making friends with everyone I talk with. Emailing is just one step deeper into establishing a lasting relationship. We may not talk but every once in a while, but the first impression and genuine interaction makes it all worth while.
I love doing this. Thank you, and I really hope we get to hang one day! No more doing 4 bthc in one sitting! Lmaooo
Man I just want to do one and actually feel a high one day. It's so elusive for me π feels like I'm not fit for THC at any dose.
Sweet spot is 1-2! Gotta sit and chill on it! Theyβre different than just smoking it. But they last for much longer. I prefer them actually
Or maybe memes just aren't that valuable.
They aren't actually. A laugh in the replies to a meme is as good a zap for me. That's what the meme is for anyway.
If you are good at social media, yes it can be possible. But if you're not, what then?
Not everyone has the social skills to be that engaging and social on the Internet. It's a real skill.
How do you promote your podcast if you're not good at social media, for example?
Then you practice and get better. Love what you do and share it. Itβs a long game. Be patient and have perseverance. Care about your customers as much as your craft and things will naturally happen.
Yes but why not also be able to promote yourself? What is the issue with the act of wanting to promote yourself/business?
You answered your question, with a question

Could have fooled me. You're quite sociable.

Great work.
I agree.
I started my npub a little over a year ago. I found people that I enjoyed interacting with, and I, of course, shilled my soap at the same time.
I've never tried to take advantage of anyone, and have always kept my word. Reputation is key in this space. Without it, you have nothing.
Just be yourself, even when it's a little weird, or cringe. You'll find your people, and you will prosper.
We are at the beginning of Nostr. It's just like being at the beginning of Bitcoin.
