Been playing around with FB ads because unfortunately I cannot shitpost on here and sell products reliably.

Been doing $5 a day just to make it real. Havenโ€™t seen much results but it is still a learning process, my product is quite ready for prime time either so it is understandable.

But when I put that advertising budget into sats, that is 6100 sats per day off into the wind.

I probably wonโ€™t cancel the ad, I gotta figure out traditional ads at some point, but consider just zapping people 6,100 sats per day here and seeing if it works any better.

I already zap most posts I enjoy and my default zap is 69 satoshis.

If you made it this far in this post, feel free to comment that you see me. I will zap anybody that comments words of encouragement, or anything interesting or productive 200 satoshis. Go!

I see you -- curious what your product is? Advertising here will probably pay off more than FB

There is a link in my profile to my website. I sell mushroom cultivation technology, supplies, and other stuff!

Glad to have found you. Wife and i were thinking about starting some new bins

Have you used marketplace on nostr?

Ive had this posted for a while but it was setup incorrectly, marked as zero inventory.

https://plebeian.market/product/99162680-9fa1-47cb-8393-067f1c97a447

Made some adjustments and need to make many more options available there than just this product

Thereโ€™s changes coming to nostr:npub1market6g3zl4mxwx5ugw56hfg0f7dy7jnnw8t380788mvdyrnwuqgep7hd and nostr:npub15dc33fyg3cpd9r58vlqge2hh8dy6hkkrjxkhluv2xpyfreqkmsesesyv6e.

Marketplaces will have a single spec, and will carry greater network effects soon irregardless if you post on Plebeian Market, nostr:npub15dc33fyg3cpd9r58vlqge2hh8dy6hkkrjxkhluv2xpyfreqkmsesesyv6e, or nostr:npub142gywvjkq0dv6nupggyn2euhx4nduwc7yz5f24ah9rpmunr2s39se3xrj0.

Ping nostr:npub1gzuushllat7pet0ccv9yuhygvc8ldeyhrgxuwg744dn5khnpk3gs3ea5ds if you have PM product feedback

Yes ๐Ÿ™

100 sats per repost has worked in the past, the higher the sat amount the more participants though..

Id like to only go semi viral plz id pay more than 100 sats for a repost

eazy peazy, find that number youโ€™re comfortable with chances are youโ€™ll have more than 100 reposts to pay out.

only publish the note if you have the next 2-3 hours of the day free so you can actively pay reposts as they come in a great way to show the community youโ€™re actively paying out the bounty is by having them reply to the note once theyโ€™re done ( this also helps you trend on algo relays and on primal 24hr feed) win, win.

make sure the first portion of the note is a call to action that grabs the users attention before shilling the product in the second half ๐Ÿค

the time of the note is also somewhat important

aim for 10 - 11 am est or 2 - 4 pm est

I feel ya but also dont want to and work the al

I dont want to play the algorithm that much, but I get you.

Going viral on nostr is like a nuclear reaction, you need to keep the fire going throughout time with protons of reposts, because the feed is chronological the message dies out quickly.

I see you, ol son! Happy customer too!

Probably worth it to bump up the spend for a few weeks. Add longer text, it's all AI matching, so talk to your audience and it'll find them quicker. ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„

Honestly 100x zaps of 69 sats would probably go waaay farther than Facebook ads. And even if they don't, at least your hard earned sats end up in a pleb's wallet and contribute to the circular economy instead of in Zuck's bank accout.

I think they both have their place, but whenever I post on nostr its like infinity times more real engagement than facebook has for like $100.

Yeah I think you need to go into debt and make a mainstream product to get sales over clearweb sources. Obviously thatโ€™s a terrible idea, But paying for ads on Facebook is definitely loosing money trying to make money. It is not a big deal if you donโ€™t have a successful bitcoin company, Itโ€™s more important that you actually make a profit. Sounds lame, But I made more in bitcoin by working a FIAT job and stacking than anyone giving me bitcoin or liking my products. The โ€œcommunityโ€ seems more like a giant grift than a group of people who care. From a venture capital perspective, You need a product that outperforms bitcoin. Something that generates bitcoin and an income in bitcoin. The โ€œcommunityโ€ doesnโ€™t give a fuck, It is a hyper competitive version of the antiquated banking system. The reason they present their products is because they need customers and users or they fail. The largest bitcoin holders are not walking around looking for people to give bitcoin to.

Wow great product you're shilling! Not sure if nostr:npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd already knows about you... I'm tagging him in case he still doesn't.

keep it up, you are one of the, few on the frontier of btc p2p business ๐Ÿค™

Keep on pushing !

Noted, any chance you'll be adding more strains?

I'm growing some pinks in a straw only bucket, will the blue oysters grow in that same environment or do they need wood?

I have a decent number of species on my website. Basic versions of a lot of different staple gourmet mushroom species. DM me and let me know what you are looking for!

I also have more that aren't posted.

You can grow blue oyster on straw-only as far as I know. I mostly grow it with hydrated sawdust pellets though.

Are they for tripping?

I can help with spores for those typesโ€ฆ

But I have fairly generic supplies which can be used for cultivation of all types of mushrooms.

I built my business on Facebook ads. Back then not many people were doing it well and everyone was on Facebook. My metrics were off the scale. Now it's really hard, and Google ads suck

keep going man:)

Tried X?

No I havenโ€™t. I sorta need to post there more as well but getting any sort of following which isnโ€™t obviously bots is hard.

Much easier, and more rewarding posting onto nostr ๐Ÿฅฐ

Makes sense! I havenโ€™t ran ads on Reddit but might make sense to explore too. Or advertising on a related podcast. I wouldnโ€™t bother with Google, youโ€™ll prob not get far. I had an account flagged because Lionโ€™s Mane appeared on their site (not even in the ad).

Or just keep up with what you enjoy and zap away! Good luck
