What is Zapvertising? #HOWDONOSTR

An entirely new market is emerging as a result of the development of Nostr and Zaps. Zapvertising has pioneered the idea of "Zaps for ads" businesses. This is an exciting development that has the potential to revolutionize the way that advertising is conducted online.

Zapvertising is a new type of advertising that is based on the use of Zaps, which are small amounts of bitcoin that can be sent to other users of the Nostr protocol. When a Zapvertisement is sent, a link, video, or text message is also sent to the user along with the bitcoin. This is a much more direct and transparent way of advertising than traditional methods, which often rely on user data and tracking. With Zapvertising, advertisers are paying users to view their advertisement.

The emergence of "Zaps for ads" businesses is a sign that there is a growing demand for new and innovative ways to advertise. Zapvertising is one promising solution to this problem, and it is likely to continue to grow in popularity in the years to come.

Thus far, I've witnessed at least three new businesses emerge in this space. It will be interesting to watch how these businesses differentiate between one another and what services they offer to both advertisers and to Zapvertisement recipients.

The lava formations you can spot at West Kamokuna Skylight, HI look like Dante's damned soul sliding into hell.

Welcome!! Putting skin in the game will accelerate your learning quickest.

Help yourself realize that reading and listening is a slow way to learn. Your body and mind respond differently when it realizes it HAS to know these things.

Buy some btc at some crappy exchange at first that allows you to send it to the base chain and lightning addresses (start small, this is just to learn the ropes).

Send some to a self custody wallet on the base chain and a lightning wallet.

Find shops and places - nostr is one of those ‘shop’ where you can use lightning. This will help you realize it’s useable.

The BTC on the base chain has less risk and helps you realize you are now your own bank. Even better, with twelve words you can now move yourself anywhere in the world and take your money with you.

Be ok to lose some or to pay higher transaction costs by accident. It happened to all of us but the sooner you step over that fear the faster it goes.

Remember you spend tens of thousands, if not hundreds of hours making money. Spending a couple tens or hundreds of dollars to learn how to keep it safe is a bargain.

#asknostr / #nostrich work pretty well for meto get some answers. Enjoy!

Welcome👋🏻🐻‍❄️

Tried to pay you just now and seems like an awesome first step is get a Primal app, sign in with nostr private key.

Tap the lightning symbol on the center bottom (mobile only). Sign up and respond to this message so I can pay you some bitcoin :).

Be aware, this bitcoin is not in your own custody yet and you have to fill in your name. Still it’s a great first step. You can tackle self custody and privacy later. Don’t wait on that and just do it quickly after.

My experience was that I let the ‘complexity’ scare me and have me wait unnecessarily long. Learn from my mistake if you can.
