“OK boomer...”

Or are you a millennial?

Hard to say.. same same.

Dystopia is always around the corner.

The year is 2040 and you run an agency of D-list AI influencers across the nostr protocol who generate a decent living wage for their agent, until one day a star is born from the stable of mediocre talent and you end up selling their npub for big money.

Years later, rich and comfortable, you reflect with bittersweet memories of the good old days before all the glitz and glamor. Who knows, maybe one day they’ll come back again, where it all began.

how did you hear about nostr

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.

Both pigs were raised under identical free range conditions. The right was supplemented with some grain/corn/soy based feed the left was left to forage naturally

Pretty much shows the benefits of grass fed and finished (no grain fed) meat.

It should also give you some indication of what grain/soy/corn does to our bodies”
