Study Bitcoin first, understand who they gonna deal with 😂 Hire Bitcoiners, run a relay, provide value. If they real, we will embrace them. If they grifters, GFY

Can you think of any more nostr specific approaches?

Zap people to click on your ads.

This is getting closer to the ideas I have on how advertising of the future will look like!

If you want a slightly more refined, less cynical idea - just as #[2]​ said, run your own relay and provide value -- and instead of charging people, pay them to be on your relay. You wouldn't even have to zap them.

The question then becomes how do you make sure it's people, not bots, and that they're actually engaged, not just passively raking in the sats.

There will be a lot of questions popping up I guess😅

Of course, and if you're in marketing you'll be acutely aware of the fact that you will eventually have to make "arbitrary" decisions (which you will have to dress up with "objective data", but will still be arbitrary), and live with them every time the bean counters question you :)

Definitely zap people.

I mean, that's basically Brave's BAT -- just with actual value (sats) instead of a shitcoin.

I think private relays for brands could be a nice way to drive brand engagements but I don’t foresee ads here. I mean at all.

Private and also topic related relays. Advertising will come to nostr 💯 as long as nostr keeps on growing. But definitely not the way we know them from Twitter, insta, Facebook…

Of course brands would want to attract the audience here but I wouldn’t call it advertising. I like the topic related relays idea.

Ok get your point. And I am totally with you that we won’t see “sponsored posts” or anything like that on nostr

Could be different on the client side though. Like the client squeezing ads in the timelines.

Observe trends here, lose corpo speak, interact with nostriches. They would need a genuinely nice and interesting person to manage their account here. Staying on top on nips would be important too. Why would I follow a company if they not interesting or not providing any value to me? Getting a random zap wouldn’t be enough. Its gonna be tough for boomers here.

Do you think that sending zaps to kind of targeted people could generate any engagement or even buys?
