So very safe. 😑

This is a mixed media piece I created using a plastic overlay, Sharpie and Copic markers, liquid acrylics, a paper burnisher, and a small pair of scissors to cut inside the letters.

The "GM" text is from the PDF available to my Creatr subscribers (one-time payment of 1,000 sats), who also get access to process photos of all of the GM art I'm making this month for the @nostrartsrt art challenge of A Month of Good Mornings: https://creatr.nostr.wine/profile/npub1jdtdqz9tyf4tdvy2k0rnjqz5dv5rd3yvw5nlpefn9syjqx37dhyqxwh0c8

Many things are bigger in Texas.

The snowmen are not.

At least, not mine. ☃️

I spent another 100,000 sats on a zap-vertising experiment…

And I think I proved that advertising on Nostr actually works…

Here’s:

1️⃣ What I did

2️⃣ The results

3️⃣ What I learned

1️⃣ What I did:

I sent 4105 zaps over the course of 3 days for a total of 112,000 sats.

Each zap contained a link for a blog post:

zapvertising-experiment.carrd.co

My goal was to see if I could get a reasonable cost per click (CPC)…

2️⃣ The results:

During the campaign I had a total of 71 unique visitors to the page.

CPC was 1578 sats or $1.50 usd.

I also gained 245 followers from that campaign.

These CPCs are in line with other ad platforms which validates the overall concept for me.

3️⃣ What I learned / brain dump:

- Results were better than expected.

- I thought there might have been a bit of negative push back (however none received).

- There is a chance I am significantly underreporting and google analytics isn't picking everything up (surprised to see 3-4x the number of new followers vs. clicks 🤔)

- THERE IS SOMETHING HERE. I still don’t know exactly what the model looks like, how it scales, but there is something to be uncovered.

- Right now, this can’t be done at scale… in the future it could. I spent ~$100 and it took me multiple days. In the future there will be ways to allocate +$10,000 per day here. For context of where we are at right now, Nostr daily zap totals are around 750,000 sats - about $675 - see stats.nostr.band/ for that data)

- Something feels off with the format… simply paying someone and sending them a link… The p2p model feels right, but the format feels off.

More to come 🫡

Let me know your thoughts 👇

Very cool! Nice to see someone approach this with metrics in mind.

For these kinds of updates (especially for different campaigns), you may want to consider adding unique hashtags so those interested can easily follow along. #zapvertising is a generic hashtags, but this is Nostr, so use whatever you want. 👍

It sounds like rain now, the melting of the roof snow. Going to make for an extremely icy tomorrow.

Who else wants a new season of the Duck Chronicles? 🐥🦆

🫂 I may going outside later for the experience, because snow is rare here, but for now I’ll enjoy the view from inside with a hot beverage. ☕️ 🫖

GM from Texas!!!!

Congratulations! They look wonderful. 👏 Would love to read about your process getting these printed.

Thanks! Will be posting a behind-the-scenes of how I made it for subscribers tomorrow.

This is a mixed media piece I created using a stencil, Tim Holz Distress Ink, archival stamp ink, metallic acrylic paint, and liquid glitter.
