NEAR Stars Guild ⭐ DAO creation and plan for 3 months (milestones)

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:
d7d6daf25394cf8e19920cc2a413685c2c028697_2_500x500

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.

  1. Get connected with our favorite bloggers.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

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.

As a part of growth is guild members count. Perfectly after 6 months (by autumn 2022) we want to see:

  • 10 video creators from NEAR community (now none) .
  • Twitter with 3000 followers (current 1790) .
  • Telegram with 300 members (50 active) at moment 64 (engagin 15 members).
  • Supporting 10 international NEAR Guilds (5 on this cycle).
  • Support to 15 NEAR products (6 planned on current cycle).

Any questions, recommendations or feedback are welcome.

P.S.
About previously mentioned ambassador program
https://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. :slight_smile:
More effective seems to leave this work to guild members to continue scout out Youtubers. Price / views / quality measurements are way better.

Hey Ecosystem DAO @Lolson_tg @David_NEAR @jlwaugh @Grace @zana since max we could get from Marketing DAO were 10k we want to grow bigger and do more for NEAR community and ecosystem want to ask to create a pool for Ecosystem DAO. As i see we fully cover up it’s mission.
How you think can we submit proposals first month for April activities asking 23’550 USD?

Now waiting for last 2 videos to get created, reviewed and launched for March work

So believe that review for Marketing DAO will be done by begining of next week.

Hey,

I think 23k is really high (regardless of where it’s from) and the MarketingDAO limit is there to ensure more projects, initiatives, and individuals can get funded.

Feel free to request the funding for it, but I think personally I might have a hard time supporting it (worth noting that it’s not up to me). Why not move forward with growing into a crypto-marketing agency-style gig where you charge clients for the work that you do?

Thanks David, will give a shot. :+1:

Tried to contact few projects of NEAR about paying for youtubers but we remaind without answer or comments like “Our marketing budget is limited, tho thank you for any help…” Some projects get grants 10-30k, they invest most in development, small part in SMM since one or two persons are in marketing field and that doesn’t give them impact from outside community. Saying as it is. :man_shrugging:

Hey Ecosystem DAO council, all previous cycle videos that are created are added to this form, so as our influencer list, and topics that we will advertise.

If you see that any other projects need promo, send to admins this form, would be helpful for us and them:

Anyhow, we would like to ask you to support our guild with 23’550 USD funding to create 15 videos from influencers. 5 project intros like this one that can be used openly by NEAR Projects ( Reality Chain - YouTube )
And do smart paid advertising trough Instagram and Facebook for projects listed in excel sheet.

If you got any recomendations and ideas how we can be closer to Ecosystem DAO, let us know.

Hey, you’ll need to create a separate funding request.

As I mentioned in a previous comment however, it’s difficult for me to justify 23k but let’s discuss it on that thread :muscle:
