Good evening, I support your proposal, but I think you need divide it on two different proposals: first one - community and social media management, second one - YouTube promotion and articles . Examples - > [@\[Approved\] RU Community Guild (Media Partnerships & Influencers) February 2022 + Binance Promo Campaign](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-ru-community-guild-media-partnerships-influencers-february-2022-binance-promo-campaign/13413): > > The goal of RU Community is to educate the Russian speaking community about the NEAR Ecosystem, provide support to all ecosystem projects with Russian localization, to increase awareness of the ecosystem, and to enable more local guilds. We need the following funding to further our work in promoting NEAR. I also made a reports showing what they have done for us.

> [@cizi31](#): > > Total costs: 16250$ (1600NEAR) Hey, This is beyond the soft cap of $10,000 that the MarketinDAO has. I think we should fund this, if approved, on a monthly basis rather than dishing out $16,000+ at once. ---

> [@Dacha](#): > > I think you need divide it on two different proposals Hi @David_NEAR is it also ok for you If I divide it on two different proposal as @Dacha mentioned above? Proposal 1: Community and social media management + contests Proposal 2: YouTube, Articles, Twitter promotions Till now we always sent the proposal in a monthly basis but I would also prefer doing 3 months. This would help us a lot as it’s already mid of february and the new payout process takes a lot time in the beginning.. ---

I agree that the proposals should be split, but I still think that the value should not exceed $10k per month - hence the requirement for monthly proposals and reports. ---

Ok then I will edit this proposal and ask below 10k for this month. If approved, I will create a second proposal next month (mid / end of March) But in total we will have approx the same budget as mentioned above till end of April. (Divided to 2 proposals and below 10k / month) Would that work? ---

Hi Dear, according to my research, the price of the lamp is just about $9 ($45 total). Please check it: [Bitcoin Figürlü Dekoratif Hediye Led Masa Lambası | BYLAMP](https://bylamp.com/products/bitcoin-led-masa-lambasi) You may want to re-consider your funding request proposal. ![httpsbylamp.comproductsbitcoin-led-masa-lambasivariant=40577675034803](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/8/7/87985edb695fe581fc4217cb3bdc07a4b0e07856.png) And also the Clock you bought last month was also just $18 for each. But you’ve reported here $200 for each. (The price I got from the instagram account that **you specified** is just 250 TL= $18 without any bargainining, 18\*5= $90-ninty total). > **[Login • Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/artefe_metal_art/?utm_medium=copy_link)** > > Welcome back to Instagram.

Hi @crypto_blckhntr > [@crypto\_blckhntr](#): > > And also the Clock you bought last month was also just $18 for each. But you’ve reported here $200 for each. No, please check the comments in my last proposal [[Approved] Near Turkey January - #6 by KriptoRaptor](http://gov.near.org/t/approved-near-turkey-january/12353/6) for the Near Clock, we have talked about it before. > [@crypto\_blckhntr](#): > > Do you think the participation of about 50 people in the raffle was a success? This was not the best raffle, but we are doing our best. We had about 4200 impressions. We have to focus more on Twitter in the next months and increase the audience. I am sure the next raffle will be better as our community grows. Would be great if we can use the 55-100$ remaining budget for it and let some influencers tweet. ---

that day I said "btw 200$ per clock a little too much. From where did you get this quote? I may get cheaper quotes for you if you want me to try please specify quantity and dimensions/specifications Whatever it is, I want one. " We talked about this issue that day. But then you didn’t cooperate with me on this and got the proposal approved. So i didn’t even bother getting a quote from anyone since you already got it approved and didn’t ask for help now I’m just shocked about the huge gap between @crypto_blckhntr 's quote and your actual paid price ---

> [@cizi31](#): > > Continuesly get in contact with influencers and share about Near in all our community groups Greetings cizi 👋🏻, as you know im a crypto influencer with over 11k follower. it’s surprising that you’re asking a fee for this, because I did not receive any support from you and your team as I produces content about Near and does not get paid for it. You banned me from all communication channels instead of giving support. Moreover, My Near content was getting very high engagement. 1. 100k+ impression [Doğan Alpaslan on X: "1) Hepinize merhabalar arkadaşlar, bugün kısaca özetleyeceğimiz platform : Octopus Network. Octopusa geçmeden önce İBC köprülerini ve Cosmos'u çok kısa anlatmak zorundayım yoksa her şey çok eksik kalacak." / X](https://twitter.com/DoganNear/status/1484487444464640002?t=LsYd8lnbEipI_js_DBhAyg&s=19) 2. 100k + impression and all about Near protocol. [Doğan Alpaslan on X: "1)Hepinize merhaba arkadaşlar. bugün sizlerle çok teknik konulara girmeden Near’ın genel yapısından, kurucularından , Aurora ağından , octopustan ve shardingden bahsedeceğim. Hepinize iyi okumalar." / X](https://twitter.com/DoganNear/status/1486063835383574535?t=48YOGXtq4eKulcjdQqZY2w&s=19) Anyway, It seems wrong to me that you have banned me me and charge someone else to do it while I have high interaction and knowledge about NEAR. I think you should reconsider this fee and do whatever is necessary for the unfair ban you gave me. I think you abused your position with banning me! > [@cizi31](#): > > Telegram & Discord support admins 8 (payment according to their work and time spent. hourly basis ~ 5-10$ / hr. if 5-10hrs each admin / week → 20-40hrs / month \* 8 admins … Just wow. Most of admins dont even know defi’s and Near’s basic… Like From how to use Ref Finance to the rainbow bridge. For example: In the problems experienced in the wallet, only the link of the global group is thrown and no solution is produced. That’s why I’m thinking of bringing more equipped admins or lowering the fee. The group’s activity isn’t big enough to require 8 admins. > [@cizi31](#): > > - Turkish news portal CoinNET I see that you are getting ads for Coinnet, but your site traffic is really low and your fee is accordingly high. In addition, I think you are doing it wrong by taking this to the site where you are your own content producer. Advertisements should be placed on different channels. you already get paid for contents. Also, why are 3 months’ fees required together? I wonder about this as a member of the Turkish community. Thanks. ---
