NEAR Stars Guild DAO creation and work plan for upcoming 3 months.
Good day people of NEAR!
Since we are growing rapidly and want to become more decentralised we want to ask for funding for our DAO for the next upcoming 3-4 months (3 milsestone scale) work plan.
So who what is NEAR Stars Guild?
Guild Leader(s): @Zhunda
Most active guild members: 7 comrades
Guild Astro DAO Address: https://app.astrodao.com/dao/stars-guild.sputnik-dao.near
Guild Location (if focused on a specific geography): International
Guild concept:
Thanks to Dacha for visualising our concept.
Guild Details:
Purpose: Positive interaction with worlds crypto influencers.
Biggest mistake I’ve seen in almost all crypto community contests or bounty offers for recognition interaction is that contest idea is made, rules for drops are written, topics are shown, #hashtags placed and after “sit n’ wait” since nothing happens – no public persons can’t find contest to write an article about project for magazine or drop a video review on it’s youtube channel.
What will NSG make different? We’ll do it opposite way.
- Get connected with our favorite bloggers.
- Ask them to make a blog post, review video, in depth look, interview with NEAR team leaders offering in exchange to share some coins when content is posted.
- To make it double effective can give some more NEAR coins when milestones as 100k views, 1k shares, 10k likes reached. A reasonable stimulus so that influencer give max share on his/hers fan base.
- Since it’s a “promotion” content we can ask them to place an additional info about events that NEAR is going to have, hackathons or other info that needs extra attention. I feel that tight romantic friendship with Marketing Guild has to be played here too.
How exactly NEAR Protocol will benefit from work with influencers, partners and artists?
Primary:
A) By giving a good visibility for investors looking for reliable and potential source where to hold their funds. Even if each sponsored video brings 10 investors it pays out all advertising expenses.
B) Making shoutout to NAER community in whole. Most worthy are new members welcomed on board who want to share their thoughts, interact by doin’ some creatives or catching up talented developers, content creators, managers and leaders who are looking for crypto communities to invest their time and strength.
C) Public reputation and brand awareness for NEAR. The more people talk about certain project online (and offline), greater attention and trust score will be created also by other public personas. Good chance to make chain reaction that will convert in interest from other bloggers and news makers. Let’s stay on hype cuz it will also give an increase on worth of NEAR coin.
Our past work that we did before.

How NEAR Stars Guild team looks now and where do we plan to go?
Greet our members!
@Zhunda Myself - Guild Leader. Connecting the dots, bringing influencers and agents (educating them trough), crossworking with NEAR guilds.
@holuongduc Steve - OG of Stars Guild. Cooperates with Hidden GEM Team, writes articles and does SMM for them.
@Pug Yana - best assistant that can be imagined, takes care of Twitter and our Telegram news feed, will cover “earn and learn” platform and tracks down NEAR product admins.
@Hsmoney aka Stephen is a cool dude, studies in Nigeria University and has a HUGE view where blockchain can lead us. Since in Nigeria not so many youtubers, he will cover whole Africa with promo.
@koreacryptoplanet aka Martin is full of energy and enthusiasm, idk how, but he tosses youtubers from nowhere who want to partnership. For now he will take care with Korea (and assist their guild) and Japanese youtubers. He mentioned that wants to work with Chinese and Spanish too but will keep on this for a whyle.
@luca is a professional he worked for company that does exactly same thing what NEAR stars guild does, he already provided me huge contact list of his clients and so many good offers he already can launch.
@JThompson123 works with Lite Lidger and now gathers new influencers for collab.
@Have_LoveWill_Travel Ryan will begin wise paid promotion of NEAR products using Facebook and Instagram.
@for_the_church will create 5 promo videos for new NEAR Projects that we partner with. Here is one of samples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-xMJ1ulYhA
Our plan for the next 3 months.
Gather 60 videos connecting influencers for shouting out promo about NEAR projects with additional articles and promo on sponsored Telegram groups.
Launch inside NEAR Community video creation programme , will figure out better naming for it. Since there are no opportunities for NEAR comrades in video creation, we want to take it on our shoulders.
Rules will be written later in additional proposal. For introduction:
Users will be given a chance to create 5-10 min review videos about our given topics.
100 USD in NEAR bounty for each review video that gains 100 views in Youtube.
200 USD for each video that gets +2k views on users Youtube account.
Each user will be limited till 5 videos per month.
60 influencers video creation per 3 months.
Myself @Zhunda will work with these youtubers.

P.S.
About previously mentioned ambassador program
http://gov.near.org/t/near-stars-guild-ambassador-program-for-youtubers/10393
We got dozen of applications filled. Third are obvious spammers, third are Instagram or TikTok related and the last third didn’t understood what they apply for, just send us the money. 
More effective seems to leave this work to guild members to continue scout out Youtubers. Price / views / quality measurements are way better.
