Can u explain ?

Noticing any additional traffic with your wine site?

Yeah you’re 100% right - im noticing this now. Lotta follows coming in from posting not necessarily just the zaps themselves. Will probably do a day or two of no posting to see how that impacts

No this only took into account zaps going out - interesting take I didn’t even think to look at the net, but that makes more sense actually 🫡

I sent 60,000 sats today as a test…

Here’s what happened, what I learned, and what I want to test next:

First off, I’m new to nostr, but things here excite me - I want to experiment, connect, and build.

In the last 24 hours I sent:

-199 zaps

- 60,000 sats

- Average of 301 sats per zap

- Second most sats zapped on the day

What happened:

- Gained 87 new followers

- Cost per follow 689 sats (~$0.65)

- Super high signal followers (people building on Nostr, Founders, etc.)

After doing a bit of research, it appears follower campaigns on X average around $1-2 per follow 🤷

I decided to mainly use “testing something…” as the text that goes along with the zap… not super direct, but was hoping that it was enough to peak curiosity…

I almost decided to go with “quick question” which probably would have performed better, but also pissed more people off at the same time…

That’s another thing I noticed, there is definitely a % of users who really hate all things related to this zap-vertising concept.

My next test:

Today I zapped 199 total zaps with an average of 301 sats per zap.

Now, I want to try sending several thousand zaps, with an average sats per zap around 10 or so…

We’ll see how it goes 🫡

What are you referring to specifically? Having an executive assistant? Daily 30 minute check ins with assistant?

Daily 30 minute standup meetings, then a decent amount of “closing the loop” messages in slack

Will post day 1 results soon

Gonna spin up a separate site this week specifically for this testing.

Goal of this isn’t to drive traction to my main business - it’s to purely test.

Will likely create a completely new site that only has exposure here

Will share everything as I go along!

I read one of his articles recently which lead me down a little rabbit hole

So to be specific here - if I were to zap 500,000 Sats to creators this week - just with the hope that they’ll see my zap and maybe look at my profile - you would be against that?

Can you link me to one - genuinely curious? Thanks

Why

Is Zap-vertising effective on Nostr?

And is bringing advertising $$$ to Nostr a potential catalyst for network growth?

Advertising $$$ —> More creator compensation —> more creators —> more users —> network growth? 🤔🤔🤔

I’ve found myself spending most of my thinking power concentrated on Nostr recently.

Feeling like a kid in a candy store on here with all of the possible things to build.

I wanted to get an experiment up quickly to get my wheels turning…

So here’s my simple experiment to kick things off:

I’m going to spend 500,000 sats in the next week, using the zapvertising model, measure the results, and provide updates here…

Tracking new followers, cost per follow, and eventually website clicks, email opt-ins, cost per click, etc.

What I’m looking to answer:

Can "zapvertising" become a viable model?

Let's find out.

Follow along for the journey.

A safe

I bought everyone in my family bitcoin for Christmas in 2022…

None of them still have that bitcoin today.

Where I went wrong:

Sent it to their Coinbase wallets…

This year, I decided to get Bitcoin for everyone’s Christmas gift again…

But this time, I’m going cold storage, locked away. No one is allowed to touch it for 20 years.

I wonder this too 🤔🤔🤔
