[Approved] August 2022 Funding for Marketing to create content and introduce new users to the NEAR ecosystem

[AaronAbyss]

Hey NEAR community. I would love to introduce a proposal to market and spread the word of NEAR Protocol and the ecosystem. I have been involved in the community for a little while as a Social Media Manager for Jump DeFi and NEKO, I have also been a content creator for NEKO as well.

My Project Name: AbyssAlert

Financing Plan: Monthly

Resources To be used for promotion:

Tiktok: AaronAbyss

Tiktok Account - Followers: 70,400+

https://www.tiktok.com/@AaronAbyss

Youtube: 0 Subscribers
(Would create new page and funnel people through tiktok and other platforms)

Youtube Shorts: 1,540 Subscribers

AbyssAlert: This would be my flagship Macro news show that would cover everything in the Macro and make NEAR a primary focus of the show. Utilizing my existing and growing following I would be getting looks at the NEAR ecosystem from a variety of people who haven’t had exposure to NEAR protocol yet. This would deliver lots of attention to the NEAR ecosystem and grow it to new lengths.

Objective: To bring mass exposure to NEAR protocol and to introduce new users to the ecosystem

Show Structure For 1 Month:

4 Full Longer Form Youtube Videos

4 Tiktok’s - Tiktoks can be up to 3 minutes long (Tiktoks would also be reposted on reels)

Planned costs:

4 Tiktoks and 4 Youtube Videos (Tiktoks Would also be reposted on reels):

2500 USD

Analytics would be reported at the end of the month

I would also be looking to expand the show further after this first month

I think this proposal looks promising!

It seems to me that there is a distinct lack of new on important updates and events in NEAR, and content creators with access to large audience like yourself, could potentially reach and onboard a new audience to NEAR protocol.

Im interested to see what content you will be putting out in your Macro News show, and how effectively it can draw people to NEAR.

Hey @AaronAbyss

I’m a huge proponent of supporting influencers directly rather than going through intermediaries. I checked out your videos- everything looks good. Happy to support.

I echo Taylor’s sentiment. Excited to fund content creators directly over middle men dealing with ‘influencers’ that are not really invested in the NEAR ecosystem.

The only thing is that looking at your content, it is indeed ‘macro’ in nature. Looking forward to seeing how you can put your TikTok skills to work the the NEAR ecosystem.

I support this proposal. Moving it to approved - you can now proceed to create a Poll on AstroDAO, once we have formally voted and approved there, submit this form (Ironclad). You will be required to complete KYC with NEAR Foundation if you haven’t already. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
