Hi @harshapakshi,
First of all, thank you for interested in contribute more values in NEAR Ecosystem.
However, based on my experience, here is the following suggestion I would like to conduct for your proposal so it might increase a better chance for your proposal to get approved:
- Let’s stay around and contribute to the community first: As this is the most important point of the whole Ecosystem. For now, it will be irresponsible from NF to distribute fund proposal for a newly created accounts/members. So, stay around and stay active within NEAR Ecosystem, get recognise by others Community members and this will likely get more chance of success when you propose something.
- Always contribute first, then funding come later: So what does this mean? It is similars like when an organisation want to invest in a project. There are some metrics that need to be fulfil like: A working prototype/demos , a solid roadmap with financial plans , concrete objectives and a very recognisable team members/ individuals, etc… So based on this, I suggest to run the podcast first, let it rolling out for at least a month or two, then you have more solid reports/datas in your hand for your proposal.
- Adjust the size/amount of financial: Requesting $20k of funding for the works of 3 members is kind overvalue since there isn’t any proven works/value history to be shown yet. As me personally running my own podcast freely without any payments for my works for the last 3 months and also @satojandro also running his own podcast freely for the NEAR Eco, we understand the workload to build a a successful podcast requires a tremendous amount of works but as I stated above, let’s demonstrate it first and we can come back with funding.
With everything being said, let’s start it small then constantly improving it. I hope with my suggestion, you would find it helpful for your future proposals.
Btw, here is the report for my podcast if you want to look into:
And as always, I am happy to help, just ping me if you needing it !!
Cheers and love,
