Here’s how I’d run a 50,000,000 sat nostr marketing campaign…

Coming from someone doing +$10M monthly client revenue on TikTok.

Let’s break it down.

For example sake, let’s say we’re running a campaign for @Paul Saladino MD ‘s brand, Heart & Soil (with a 0.5 btc budget)

Step 1:

First we’re going to identify 100 relevant nostr creators and negotiate terms of posting.

Let’s say 100 creators at 300,000 sats per note each.

We’ll spread out the posting times over the course of a month… about 3 per day.

Nothing groundbreaking so far… but here’s where things become a bit different than your typical social media campaign…

Instead of paying creators offline, Heart & Soil would zap 300,000 to each creator - publicly visible on their note.

This does 2 things:

1️⃣ Increase visibility on that note (more zaps = more traction)

2️⃣ Increase positive sentiment of the brand (i.e. “this brand supports nostr creators”)

If you see a note about a brand, then that brand zapping 300,000 sats, this will get your attention.

Step 2:

Top of funnel 👀

We’re going to allocate 10,000,000 sats to “bulk zapping”

The plan is to send 21 sats to nearly 500,000 notes over the course of a month.

I’d probably attach a message like “Eat your organs” or something like that to each.

The goal here is to drive eyeballs and awareness to the account.

Step 3:

Profile and bio set up.

Think of this like a funnel.

We’re going to be getting tons of eyeballs to the account…

Now, what we do with that attention is key.

First thing, let’s repost all of the creator notes to get social proof on the account.

Secondly, let’s get our bio set up.

It should say something like this:

“The most nutrient rich supplements on the planet. Goal of sending 10,000,000 sats (currently at 1,342,091). Tag us and we’ll zap you! Use code NOSTR for 10% off.”

The goal is to turn buyers into creators and set the precedent that Heart & Soil zaps all creators.

I’ve noticed that there is a ritualistic posting style on Nostr - the good morning notes, coffeechain etc.

We want to get this style of note going for Heart and Soil.

Allocate 10,000,000 sats to just zapping customers that post the product on nostr.

What do we think - would this work? Would brand campaigns be a complete flop on nostr? What would you do differently?

Brilliant. This has really got me thinking about Bitcoin and Nostr's implications on marketing. Essentially you could spend your marketing budget on your customers and top creators with no middle man. The creator economy will really take off once most creators are orange-pilled and purple-pilled. ...

I like the idea, but we need to consider some constraints. First, the number of active users on Nostr is still growing and relatively small compared to mainstream platforms like TikTok. So, before launching large-scale campaigns, we need to focus on growing the Nostr user base and increasing engagem...

It's not a bad idea. I also think prisms can be used for affiliate marketing. nostr:npub12z5nym0qkxhdrvmyhup2llzp98lryr38gw8ywxktkps9eqdts7asjj9k9c has done interesting work on this, but it's very early days.

Yep, that would work well. Pretty much what I was planning on doing with TZLA Club when I start working for them in a few weeks.

The idea is interesting, but there are some aspects to be clarified: 1. Transparency and value: I appreciate the idea of payment by visible zap because it promotes transparency and supports creators. However, 300,000 satoshi for a note must be justified by quality content. It would be helpful to se...

I have a question is it 300K per note per creator? Or those 300K are spread in x amount of notes per creator? Since there is no algorithm the boost would be great on Primal to keep the post trending 24 hours but the Cost Per 24hr per day would be a bit high? Also how does this boost visibility on...

Smaller zaps make more sense if your able to target more users, like how your last experiment worked. Its super early for bigger brands to be on nostr, but eventually most brands would be following exactly what your detailing.

this is interesting. would the advertising campaign control what creators can say in the comments they get paid for? i'm letting it be a question and i'll bookmark this note for when the question rattles around long enough to show me what i think. #asknostr #foodforthought

That kind of money would be totally wasted on promoting nostr users to each other when it could be spent on promoting nostr to outsiders

what would be more interesting is if heart and soil emailed their lists and announced on their YouTube and other social media that they are zapping their customers on Nostr when they engage and leave a review and maybe created a contest: 1. get your Nostr client nsec + set up your wallet 2. make #i...

Sounds about good 😊

Big money is coming to Nostr 👀 I don't think we're prepared.

I like NOSTR better than Twitter or instagram because NOSTR hasn’t been run down with these kinds of ad campaigns. They’re really an eye sore and kind of annoying. But like Bitcoin, NOSTR is for anyone and everyone.

Love it. Let's do it.

That would definitely work! 💯

Also, your budget would probably grow by people zapping you back, so you could keep it going longer.

Offer things that don’t suck and let reputation do the marketing https://media4.giphy.com/media/xT5LMxmFQ37UyhH344/giphy.gif

Uh, what about "value for value" instead of "here's a plan to buy influence." Go back to TikTok, bro.

Interesting idea. I have a small business in Thailand. Nostr is new, but we need to test if it fits the community.

Feel indifferent about that plan, but love the slogan "Eat your organs!"😈😁

Transparency is the app ↗️

You make one assumption that is flawed. That people will be acceptant of advertising. Like me many people just don’t give a fuck and will mute the first ad and the company or person indefinitely.

NOSTR users have a very accurate BS detector. When a lot of notes about a product start to pop-up in my timeline without a meaningful information or discussion, the first thing will be mute that word. I believe that what really drive attention in NOSTR is exactly what this note is doing (creating a ...

attempts at marketing brands on nostr will result in a mute from me

Things look promising, but at the moment there are something like 20 times more active Instagram users in Namibia than there are active Nostr users on all of Nostr. So very early days.
Alekandar Svetski · 64w
Interesting idea. I’d be willing to experiment with something like that
binmucker · 64w
I think it’s a solid idea. I bet many people on Nostr appreciate the transparency and as long as it’s a company that has a product people like I bet it would drive sales. Big pharma would have a hard time advertising on here but a brand like heart and soil would do well
