Thanks for all the support you have been giving to the Near Community @marketingdao-council
The last approved proposal is from May 4th:
Introduction
The proposal we are sharing here (for July) is to continue the contest campaign we ran from May to June, but this time lowering the amount requested because we are considering the bear market.
Guild name: Merchants of Near
Funding scheme: Monthly
Initiative Summary
We will like to keep growing, we have one of the biggest unofficial communities all over the Blockchain Ecosystem, with more than 2.300 members, where Neareans can speak freely and share any off-topics, and mostly discuss price predictions, tokenomics, and other financial related topics.
Vision: Biggest Trading On-chain Community related to Blockchain
Mision: To allow all the growth of the NEAR Community by providing a space for any topic discussion
Goals: To grow the community’s awareness of financial tools and price predictions by running price contests and providing educational content
The main activities to carry on:
Price Prediction Contests
→ Deliverable: Social media outreach with Tradingview + Medium + Twitter
Content Creation
→ Videos and Publications made by the community and curated by the councils
Educational Growth
→ Webinars, Meetings, and educational documentation construction with the goal of a Near Certified Trading course creation.
Expected Impact
Increase in the social media interactions related to NEAR on Twitter and other social media by spreading information about NEAR tokens and price predictions.
Professionalization of the members, guiding them through the educational content and the trading course.
More participation from the Neareans in activities that help the growth of the Near Ecosystem.
Metrics of success
We had success by improving the contest and reaching a broader audience on Twitter, but we still need to keep working on our metrics of success as the numbers we proposed were not achieved:
+20% growth in the next 2 months
2.600 → 3.000 members / Our growth was of only 54 members
80 → 100 participants / We get around 30 participants
Near Certified Trading Course documentation → at least 10 hours of content (pending)
1 Partnership with an educational team on Near Ecosystem like Near Academy (pending)
Funds will be received on The Merchants DAO where we have 11 council members.

*The activities will be related to NEAR tokens
*Contributors will need to request approval before starting any activity.
*Everything will be posted on social media, interaction will be taken into account, and the council members will have the final decision into rewarding those activities.
*In order to withdraw the funds, there is always a report or post on the forum. All payments will be sent from the DAO after the report is received and the community will have a chance to provide feedback.
I’m curious to know on average how many people participate on the contest? What are the current distribution channels (how do people find out about it, how can we potentially increase its reach?)
47 → half wasn’t taken into account as Twitter accounts were newly created
24
6 ← non rewarded
3 ← non rewarded
Conclusion:
3-6 members really compromised with the Guild mission, which is to share price predictions no matter if there is a reward or not.
Around 25 real members who are traders.
Also, a good opportunity to remind: We have 11 members on the DAO at the moment and 18 members on our private Merchants DAO group leading the Guild’s voice.
We are the unofficial group for the NEAR Community, moderators from the @ConciergeTeam (in part thanks to my chilling Merchants instead of Near Force ) always refer NEAReans to the Merchants Group when they want to discuss off-topics.
In the Merchants group we usually share the open call to the contest each Monday as follow:
Well, last year the contest was run only inside the telegram group, so my share was to make the contest to be on another 2 social platforms at the same time:
Tradingview → $NEAR/$USD
Twitter → $NEAR tag
Now, I also lead the creation of a #NFTCoNEARseurs group for NFT Projects, where the idea is to create content and quote that content on twitter together to make the twitter algorithm to feature NFT projects on NEAR…
just bringing the subject because as Merchants Guild is a more inclusive group regarding topics, we could also join any effort from the NEAR Community regarding “micro-influencers”.
If the Marketing DAO knows or is on your plans to build a “micro-influencers” initiative to help the spread of information and increase the reach of the NEAR word, then we want to participate and use our twitter account for the growth of the community.
