One thing to let anyone in and another to promote and boost them
And what about the open-source algo?
Nostur has it for text / urls but I don’t think it works for media
nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe is quick to add features.
How could Nostr help these type of organisations with its community and tools?
https://dasheng.media/ is launching this month.
Indeed. Can be also not because of the app but because Nostr becomes popular so ”a rising tide lifts all boats.”
Mozilla has a nice revenue automate.

”Since the beginning of the war, Russia earned EUR 552 billion in revenue from fossil fuel exports. European Union countries purchased for more than EUR 181 billion.”

Do you. What comes naturally. If you post only here how do you let people know about your posts?
Nostr should bring you joy, happiness and value by being useful. If it feels like work then you’re now doing something right.
You’re not using YouTube, Netflix etc. to market it to others. You may share some of their links/content because you find something valuable to share.
Play with nostr and find new ways to use it. When you discover something brilliant and it does not exist build it.
That’s how Twitter got hashtags, threads etc. People just invented them because they were useful.
Do you, and just do it.
Some suggestions on 'zero-cost marketing' for Nostr clients and other stuff. Feel free to add on suggestions :
1. Write more on media - approach various angles of Nostr and target at least 1-2 articles to be published a month.
2. Reach out to users based on where they are - if college kids maybe have talks or workshops on campuses. If it’s neighborhood, put up short and catchy brochures in the neighborhood local businesses, coffee shops, on the street, bars .
3. Ted talks or similar highly established talks with a large audience on the concept of
(a) “reversing the current internet” like how nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc ` talked about or
(b) bridging many diff ideologies through platforms and bringing people together like how nostr:npub1k979np6dcpwh7mkfwk7wq3msezml48fh7wksp9hakakf8pwk3y5qhdz7te is doing it .
These are all very novel concepts.
4. Do short videos like how the Thai tik tok went viral - and post it on various other social media - tik tok, IG, FB.
5. Partner up with businesses for free onboarding promo on their website to their clients.
6. Get into as many TV interviews and radio interviews
The current marketing initiatives are heavy on Bitcoin conferences.
1. It might be stale because of high repetition
2. BUT. Because it's easier to convert bitcoiner, the initiatives here can be one step beyond onboarding - such as establishing bitcoin relays or if specific to localities, then onboard someone local who can set up local relays and that person onboards more people from there, and it relays on =)
Goal = acquire users + grow this user base.
Some thoughts :
Having a great and easy to use product with useful features is one thing. Finding users is another. Both are different types of challenges.
I like nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn 's concept of user growth and I think clients would benefit from a user acquisition strategy, establishing primary, secondary target audience and finding means to engage them.
I hope Nostr doesn't die off. It's a great initiative.
If you have more suggestion on zero-cost marketing, feel free to add on.
Use nostr as your content platform and share your posts as you would with any of your content.
That’s the strongest signal you can send. No explaining, no convincing. The act of usage is the statement.
People are curious and want to find out what is it what you’re using and why.
This is the point where the onboarding and easy sign-up becomes relevant: when they follow the link you post and land on your post.
It matters what links you share since nostr is not a single app/service destination.
”Even if Xi perceives our actions as closing his strategic window for action, we must persist because weakness will much more surely prompt a Chinese response. It is not a provocation to oppose a bully.”
Google search became useless after a few decades because monetary incentives took over the purpose of serving users what they were looking for.
You only have one customer: the one that pays your bills. The end user is not your customer if they are not aligned with your revenue model.
Here’s an example (note that for reasons unknown Wired took down the article later):

”For the West to abandon Ukraine now would allow Russia and its authoritarian friends in China, Iran, and North Korea to believe that the 21st century is moving their way—into a future of brutal armies, cowed populations, and endless lies.”

Works also for people that are not willing to listen to or to change. They take whatever you give give them and as long as you keep entertaining them.
Actions speak louder than any words. Usually, a lonely path to walk but you’re not doing it nor living for others.
”Unless the West provides brigades like the 47th with ammunition, they will be unable to stop Putin’s troops. The Russians could run on to Dnipro, with a population of one million, and sweep north towards Kyiv, cutting off Ukraine’s army in the Donbas.”
”This preliminary investigation is unorthodox because the suspect did not commit a crime in Finland and is not a Finnish citizen, but is suspected of terror offences in Ukraine.”
”Foreigners were rushed into a military camp on the border with Ukraine, days after they were picked up for breaching immigration laws...coercing people in pre-deportation detention centres to sign contracts for army service in Ukraine is not new”

”The actual demo was made by "using still image frames from the footage, and prompting via text," rather than having Gemini respond to — or even predict — a drawing or change of objects on the table in real time.”
