Hello!
Could you take this off and put it in a separate proposal to have us understand more details?

This looks interesting and we (the community) need to know more about it.

Also, I am concerned about the funds for Telegram, and Twitter.

Will these activities drive your community members to use near social?

The key focus is to see that however communities want, they can use any medium to engage their community BUT the other engagement should produce on-chain results.

Sure thing, I updated the proposal content and left only Guild-related stuff
I will create a new one with more details about offline events soon

Yes, and we use Telegram and Twitter not only for news, but to host various on-chain championships and airdrops, encouraging people to be active in the network

Additionally, we’ve begun testing a marketing tool named Zealy, which automates the entire onboarding and activity workflow. We expect a decent amount of people coming from it.

Paid advertisement and influencer marketing to drive growth is not encouraged to regional community, i will be happy if you can remove this section.

[Bakaka]

Thank you for your proposal.

Am following some of your Twitter threads very informative.

My cocnern is too much focus on social media, which is not encouraged.

Your IAH onboarding is very weak, despite flawless experience with Fractal for the past few weeks

Can i see your twitter stats for May and June and telegram too.

How much are you going to spend on giveaways and rewards???

[Ola]

@denbite This is the section i want you to remove completely, influencer marking and paid ads related is not encouraged in any case. Instead, you can leave it and change the descriptions. Activities such as rewards and contests is cool, but not via paid ads or influencer marketing.

[Bakaka]

Fair enough, but letting your impression drop by 25% is not healthy.

Thoughts: Try to change or experiment with new contents or threads, am sure your July reports will be awesome.
