[Closed] Near Bangladesh Open DAO

OVERVIEW OF PROPOSAL:

The pursuit of the project in the prolonged period is to expand the NEAR Community in Bangladesh. As we know NEAR enables a world of NFTs, DAOs, and other new business models for betterment. Bangladesh is one of the climate vulnerable countries, as well and from that point of view we will support climate friendly products as well from the fact that NEAR is the first certified climate-neutral blockchain along with proven low cost and fastest too. NEAR already has established a bridge to Ethereum and other ecosystems for effortless interoperability. The idea of blockchain itself is a new dimension and one of the key elements of technology these days; at this point from our side we are eager to build a community focused in Bangladesh and spread NEAR’s operational aspects, use cases, benefits of development of Dapps, NFT’s and protocols in near ecosystems to the people here.

With approximately 228 million native speakers and another 37 million as second language speakers,[ref][ref] Bengali is the fifth most-spoken native language and the sixth most spoken language

by total number of speakers in the world.[ref][ref]

So we think it’s high time to knock on this huge community by a native speakers team like us

.Accordingly, by concentrating on some specific most popular social medias like YouTube, Twitter

,Discord, Telegram Facebook, Instagram, Medium, http://opendao.eu.org etc. for community expansion and Branding of NEAR protocol among this Bengali speaking community cause we strongly believe that “in market we are nothing without a trusted community” We will establish a strong trusted community by Community Branding ,engaging ,unique content creation ,mentoring by public relation & influences to build a “NEAR BANGLADESH” community . Initially, we are here with a 6-month deliberate project which we are expecting to launch from 1st March 2022 and continue till August 31st ,2022.

  • Time Zone : GMT +6:00
  • Location of Operation :DHAKA
  • Activities area: Bangladesh
  • Target Group : Bengali speaking Community in Bangladesh, Approximately 228 million native speakers and another 37 million

COST FACTORS:

  1. Space for conducting events
  2. Event budget (hackathon / webinar / workshop)
  3. Monthly cost for Community Management Support
  4. Operational & management cost per month
  5. For each platform optimization we proposed monthly budget

To build this community we will be choosing – Facebook, Twitter/Discord/Telegram/Instragram/Medium/opendao.eu.org

Per month fund: $3200 per month in equivalent Near

Funding will be @CONARID official wallet: imldu.near
Wallet owner name :@ Md.Mahmudul Hasan Chowdhury
Councils Team Members : @Hasan, @Nafis ,@Srijony,@Traee

Budget Justification

Monthly= $3200

For six months in equivalent Near token for total tenure of project
1’st March 2022 and continue till August 31’st ,2022.

Let’s estimate the social media manager rate per hour and how many hours they need to put on monthly.

Social media Manager Rate per hour is $20 (In the case of a relatively new marketing manager) for moderating ,content writing, boosting ,monitoring ,AMA session and all others events

Now let’s consider the monthly hour of work required behind the overall platform from the social media manager.

The average working hour of a relatively new social media manager per week on a platform (Facebook, Twitter/Discord/Telegram/Instagram/Medium/opendao.eu.org) is 40hrs. Hence the total hour per month will be 160hrs (assuming 40 hours).

If we consider the lowest rate $20 then the total cost for each platform social media manager will be $3200 (20*160)

So, $3200 is on the lower end of the spectrum, and considering the type and scale of work, it’s low. Moreover, the quality of work may be compromised.

Can you clarify what funding amount you are asking for this project? It looks like $3,200/month at the top, but the bottom has a paragraph that says that’s a low amount and may compromise the quality of the work?

Also, why is this project set with a 6-month timeline?

I don’t know what is your view about UKRAINE right now…as CONARID have worked in so many successful projects. We are the first and best in Blockchain community engagement in Bangladesh and we shows remarkable success in case of community expansion Algorand ,Oasis Network ,Ocean Protocol ,Human protocol and others . Due to some multiple restrictions we have already applied and registered to UKRAINE Gov https://e-resident.diia.gov.ua program to legally operate in full phase along with banking activities which is not possible at the moment right now in Bangladesh.

Thanks for the time you’ve taken to write this proposal.

The Marketing DAO funds passion projects - initiatives conducted by community members that added meaningful amounts of value to the NEAR ecosystem. We strive to remunerate people for these efforts and empower them to do more.

Most of the initiatives outlined on your proposal can easily be carried out, at least in the early days, without any funding at all and with relatively little time commitment. As such, I find it very hard to support this proposal in its current form.

Reference for future proposals:

  • Less future looking statements (‘I will…’) and more concrete, results focused statements (i.e. ‘I have…’)
  • Include references to your current involvement in the NEAR community
  • Include links to previous work (infographics, etc.)
  • Include reasonable payout rates that take into account the local cost of living and actual workload involved given the size of the community

It’s a no from me. Price points are pretty far off.
