Wife (not on nostr) is working on a restaurant/sight-seeing/tourism guide for Portugal because so many people come here and ask us for tips, the email we used to send out is now seven years old and it’s easier just to make a comprehensive one once, and then send it to everyone.

She’s really good at these, has good taste, knows food and wine (in the wine business), so I told her she should post it on Nostr somewhere.

She said she’s not interested, but I told her people who used it would probably zap her.

What do you think — could she make $20 (she very cheap, so $20 might move the needle for her) in zaps over the course of a year?

Also, where would content like this reside? Highlighter is good for essays, articles, but you’d want a guide to stay at the top of your timeline. Maybe we can create an npub just for the list, write it in Highlighter and just leave it up there, and update periodically.

Maybe there’s a niche on nostr for the people who are really in the know, posting local knowledge. What do you think?

I think this is brilliant, tbh, and I kinda think that we should set a HIGHLY INFORMAL "budget" (for lack of a better term) to create a VERY good first impression to incoming content creators.

Wrt the question at hand, one of the things I've been meaning to add is nicer support for "pinning" content on someone's profile; making it very prominent, youtube does this very well where a creator can have one video as the main "welcome" video.

And, 100%, we could very easily welcome her with a lot of zaps to far exceed $20 as a nice first impression 😀

I want to travel to Portugal eventually so I’d like to use that guide

Write the guides as long-form articles but also repost links to them (nostr:naddr1...) in kind1 notes.

#[2] Just presented a website like this, and she could also pin her note.

I pin a note from GitCitadel. You can see it in Nostrudel, on the profile page.

id recomkend link the npub to stacker news, post guide on stacker news in the appropriate territory, and set your stacker news to cross post the guide to nostr. it will be posted as a long form article but that way its an easy workflow for her to simply post in stacker news and get exposure on nostr too that you could repost. more sat possibilities this way as the stacker newsers are heavier zappers than nostr only users.

happy to help yall set that up, ive done it before works well.

$20 a year? Heck yeah. I'm way over that.

There was a cool project I saw a few weeks back to turn an npub into a one page blog html. It had the ability to pin a post at the top

This is obviously perfect for nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3

We have an up coming feature called “collection” which will act like public, shareable bookmarks, for your personal profile.

AND there will be a “guides” section inside each city page, where the guide can be long form and have locations, venues, merchant profiles, etc all linked within the guide

that sounds great — using all these responses to convince her to let me post it when she’s done.

If you’d like, we can also set you up as an ambassador for a particular city to increase the visibility of the guides. Just DM nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 when you’re ready

great, thanks — will do
