The months of June, July, and August were engaging for us, and we further intend to proceed in the coming months with greater work via strategic activities.
These activities include
Bringing music projects off-chain, on-chain
Onboarding more music artists into the ecosystem
Hold general ecosystem educational events
Manage and grow our media handles.
we will be adding a WhatsApp group to our list of social media groups/pages. The reason is that most African youths are more conversant and prefer WhatsApp
Starting our Video tutorial series on web3, blockchain, NEAR ecosystem and music projects on NEAR. This will be on our YouTube channel, and all our handles that can hold video files properly.
SPECIFIC METRICS FOR THE COMING MONTH(S)
Working with the projects ops team, present a project for building on NEAR for each month
Onboard more than 50 music artists monthly into Music projects already built. Great progress has been going on with Mintbase, Tamago, and Lozr. this includes having them put their work on the projects
Create three quality articles monthly, three Youtube videos monthly, and engage in at least one educational AMA weekly on our social media handles
Have 10-15% growth on all our social media handles monthly.
Finalizing PLAYGROUND on our website to enable artists to list their materials and also link materials on other music projects on NEAR
Team members are I, @Jeromemrys, @Alphaflex, @Omotola, @Mimi2, @Fazqueen (winner of our recent music competition) @artwithchinaza (winner of our recent art competitor), and @mikekevin (our developer)

Each month We coming out with better and strategic approach to Recruiting more musicians and to the ecosystem. Developing NEAR PROTOCOL Music community in our locals has been successful so far with more people being onboarded!! $NEAR to the moon!!!
Our strategies of onboarding more artist and musicians to the Near Ecosystem has being unique and keeps getting better. Results has being forthcoming so we put all hands on deck and loudly herald NEAR PROTOCOL. Near to the moon​
It currently serves as a funnel for users to three other key projects on NEAR. Cross-pollination for growth is a big theme I like. I’d strongly encourage you to work closely both with musicians and with these platforms and treat the musicians as early users and beta testers, provide as much feedback to keep improving on these products so they can scale to more people.
Creating marketing material around these activities in a way that can spread online and attract and inspire others. Core messaging should be - look at what you can do on NEAR, come join us!
Thanks for the proposal. Would you mind clarifying some of the deliverables you have mentioned in your proposal for each mention within the corresponding months?
For the months:

Social Media Activities:

Is it live or in-person?
You mentioned some other elements of funding including:
Event Hall
Instrument Renting

Can you provide some specifics on the above?
I really want to support this one for the reasons @satojandro cited, we just need to hold each proposal to the same standard.
we have a standard of between one-three posts per day. this depends on any update from the ecosystem or the continent thread in mind
we look at having one quality AMA each for Twitter, Telegram, and Instagram
Ou posts are based on ecosystem updates and education about the ecosystem in the light on NFTs
Yes, these are in-person events for the purpose of quality time and attention to our audience.
Venues are either hotel conference halls or regular event halls for ending.
For the onboarding events, we envisage 50-60 persons per event as we plan more than one-day events.
We adopt the method of Americas Gots Talent where both judges and the audience have voting power
People vote both online on our website and in person. This is to engage the audience
It’s an in-person event but we begin auditions online
The event hall is for where we hold these events and an average event hall with good facilities costs around $250-$300. This is for the standard by which we are doing these events. Focused much more on getting a wider audience and educating them about NEAR.
Renting instruments is about sound equipment. This is about hiring a DJ which costs around $75 per day for local DJs
Branded swags include a t-shirt and p-caps. For a shirt/cap, it costs a total of $10 for one for both buying and branding. This is for the quality targeted as there are higher and lower qualities
Publicity materials include flex banners for advertisements and stage design. a 10/15 banner costs around $100 for design and printing.
Thanks for the proposal – there are many aspects of this project that I like – the collaborative nature with multiple other ecosystem projects, the focused audience/niche and I like the branding on your marketing materials.
A couple of things:
How are you evaluating the ways in which this project leads to engaged community members and Mintbase/Tamago/Lozr users over the long-term vs. primarily participants in the events? I think it’s important that we understand how projects intend to integrate people into the NEARverse vs. just having them open wallets and following along on social. How are you and your team thinking about that and do you have any info you can share about how that has worked so far?
Do you have any plans to expand beyond the primarily local/physical event focus? Or are you already pulling in artists from outside your region?
Hello!
We have these artists open stores on Mintbase, and upload their songs on these Tamago. For Loozr, it’s still about launching testnet and we are in good communication with the co-founder to mass onboard these artists.
Yes, we are looking towards this as we collaborate with web3/blockchain hubs in other countries to aid this onboarding.
We will be attending Octopus Africa Event this month, which will help us in meeting great people from other countries. Information is on our website (www.tnesociety.com/)
Hi @IgbozeIsrael – I can support this for Q4, but to be transparent, I do think that there needs to be more strategy and planning around how your activities lead to long-term, engaged musicians using these platforms. I understand that that is also the responsibility of the platforms themselves as well. But in order for me to support funding after this proposal, I would be looking for a clear connection between your activities and newly active, engaged members in the ecosystem who are in it for the long-term, not just uploading a song here and there or following in Twitter. Moving this to approved. You can submit to Astro.
Thanks for supporting @so608@Dacha@Klint The team would work towards improving the connection with newly onboarded Individual also keeping them fo4 long term.
Hello! @David_NEAR!
Trust NEARCON was great?
We filled the form after AstroDAO proposal was approved but haven’t received any mail to sign the docs. I’m thinking NEARCON is why we have the delays…right?
Your feedback will be appreciated thanks.
