You’re welcome. I’m happy to share insights. 🫂

In your posts, you asked a few questions. I’ll respond below.

You stated…“That said, I still have this question: if I’m putting out good content on Nostr, but I have no followers or connections, who actually sees it? It feels like shouting into the void. And if no one sees it, what’s the point of putting it there?”

I concur. Due to the lack of users, it can feel pointless at times. There are two main ways to address this.

One is to start building your community offline. It’s hard to create a digital world for your content with no following by simply using the internet. Real people can be found in the real world. Start there and then onboard them. Expand by using word of mouth. Tell a friend of a friend. Then employ your digital marketing strategy to reach the online audience.

The second way to address this is to build your community on a community based app. Trying to build a community on a Twitter like app (Primal) makes it harder for you to convey your message and reach your audience. Go to where you belong. If you were a journalist and wanted to just share content and news, then Primal could work. In your case, you want a community. So, embrace a community based app.

Nostr is a protocol. The clients/apps have to be *designed* to embrace communities. Otherwise, the ability to form a community flops because the necessary features aren’t in place. To the devs who are making a community based client, ask yourself…What do communities look like in the real world? Bring those elements with a unique twist to the digital world.

You also wrote…”I’m not trying to “be a leader” or collect followers like trophies. I just want my content to reach people who might connect with it, respond to it, build on it. In that sense, having followers—or at least visibility—does matter, right?”

Visibility is important. But this comes down to app design, which is the responsibility of the app developer. Based on the app design, people can search for different communities. The search feature should be robust to where you can be found. At this stage, being one of the early adopters should make it easy to find you.

Discoverability is an important component. You should indeed want to be found. To the devs, doing a spotlight would be nice. For example, dictionary.com has the word of the day. Clients/apps on Nostr can do the same with a user or community to highlight/showcase them.

Faith. Love. Light.

Thank you. 🫂

Ok. Just making sure. I didn’t want to accidentally tag the wrong person. 🥴😅

Can you make a demo video showing the features? Basically, I want to see a commercial or marketing video of your client in action before I request a demo.

Thanks. I’ve heard of it but it was a while back. I’ll revisit them again. Tag the creator of the client.

Link?

Why does anyone want “followers”? What makes you a “leader”? I’m not being rude. I’m asking genuine questions. Let’s say you do want followers…why so many? If they’re not engaging in your content, then what’s the benefit? For example, if I see a person with 1 million followers, I question why would so many people follow 1 person. I would say “who are you? What are you doing that is so profound?” Not in a rude way but only God should have a large following.

You state, “I’m here to share quality content and connect with like-minded folks”. That tells me you want a *community*.

Therefore, if you’re interested in numbers, I think the goal should be to build a community and have a large one. If I see a community of 1 million people socializing and engaging with one another, I would want to be part of that community.

I’m not a fan of follower count. On a psychological and social level, it has unintended consequences. We see those consequences on other platforms.

Lastly, I think there should be more clients that allow for communities to exist. It’s hard to create a community on Primal because of the design. It’s not Primal’s fault because it’s designed like Twitter. I know people are working on things. There’s Ditto right now. Hopefully more will roll out soon.

I wish you all the best.

Now this a puzzle I approve! 1!

Great! This is the perfect time to experiment and explore what works and what doesn’t regarding advertising and marketing. Nostr is literally a blank slate to create something new, modified, or similar to things we’ve seen before. If it works, great. If not, come up with something else. ⭐️

God is a great God.

Free will is the freedom of thought. Inherently given to you by God.

So let me repeat…

Use your free will to choose wisely.

OR…

We can witness engaging conversations.

We can witness micro communities engaging in social connections and e-commerce using Bitcoin on the Internet.

We can witness how AI can benefit and enhance humans lives rather than “take away” jobs.

We can witness civility, kindness, respect, understanding, and compassion.

Let’s witness who else lacks self-control.

Let’s witness someone else who lacks reading comprehension skills.

Let’s witness who else wants to look uninformed and unintelligent.

Those people lack self-control.
