Hi @billybones1 thanks for the proposal. Congrats on the growth reported above. Here is a link to the MarketingDAO Guidelines for November that were posted on the forum. They contain the NDC’s KPIs we are asked to focus on for allocating this month’s funds.
I note that you are a regular contributor to the ecosystem. I appreciate your team’s time spent contributing to the community and the recent growth in views, but I can’t support this proposal. Here are my reasons:
- When evaluating proposals, we ask:
Why should Marketing (Eco) DAO fund Project X?
- Project X should have a clear goal and target audience
- Project X should bring improvements to several metrics listed above
There is not a clear, definitive answer to #2 for me based on what you have proposed.
- We are restructuring the way we fund content. In my view, we are moving beyond the era where we fund individual content contributors/teams to produce content the same way month after month with modest growth/traction. There are benefits to content production, but we are in a moment now where we need to closely focus on on-chain activity.
You mentioned a number of interesting ideas above such as:
I’m awaiting our Shard Dogs I created with AI tech for a weekly drop to promote the pod and reward attendance. I look to utilize the Heroes Build platform this month to create some bounties and push content creation and txs on Near. This will raise awareness of Near and all things that need explanation of Nearcon 2023.
I think initiatives like those are well worth exploring and may align better for funding in the future.
I encourage you to reapply once we have released the new content funding structure – coming soon.
