  • explaining NEAR TERMS as simple as possible,
  • bringing in both developers and creators into the NEAR ECOSYSTEM,
  • advising start-ups to build on NEAR,
  • encouraging the Nigerian government to see future in blockchain,
  • educating various Nigerian communities on what the Future holds for creative art and Nigeria culture,
  • telling Nigerians how Nigeria Financial sector can produce better results when blockchain is infused into their respective solutions,
  • showing Nigerians that entities that are in blockchain aren’t bot or people trying to hide their faces but are real humans like themselves,
  • making eNaira as a case study which is also built on a Blockchain,
  • collaborations with respective sectors in terms of promoting NEAR in Nigeria,
  • increase activities in all NEAR Protocol Nigerian communities,
  • start up operations in our office base, meetings and collaboration with relevant authorities in Nigeria starting from Kano state,

METHODS OF ACHIEVING THIS MONTH GOALS

  1. Increasing activities within the NEAR Nigeria telegram group in terms of number and interactions.

  1. Creation of at least 4 quality written contents per month which will explain simple basics of blockchain, NEAR ecosystem and its vast use cases per month from council members. This will be published on medium and available via the nearnigeria.org website

  2. Creation of one to two interactive videos addressing programming, creatives and any other issues Nigerians need further explanation on and graphical demonstration of some of the articles above which would be published on Medium and uploaded on our YouTube and made visible through our website.

  3. Creation of at least eight graphics/Infographics/memes per week used to create short term education content which will be used to interact with our communities on various social media platforms and also creation of graphics for NEAR related activities and events.

  4. Translation of already prepared articles into the three major ethnic languages in Nigeria, meaning we expect to have a minimum of 12 translations by the end of the month.

  5. Start of NPK TALK series highlighting various topics in NEAR ecosystem, Nigerian involvement in blockchain, developers aspects of NEAR Nigeria and common issues generally talked about in Nigeria cryptosphere.

  6. Hosting at least two AMA sections; one in NEAR Protocol Nigeria telegram group and second in any of Nigeria creator or developer group or exchange groups as we noticed, many exchanges where $NEAR is trading that have a Nigerian community know little about NEAR and really don’t know how to explore the ecosystem or Dapps built on it.

  7. Setting up of NEAR NIGERIA TUTORS. These educators are community members who have chosen interest in learning some aspects of the NEAR ecosystem and everyday each tutor gives a detailed but simple explanation of the particular topic assigned to him. This was practised in the month of January and it had a widely marked success.

  8. Partnership and collaboration as we aim to establish at least one partnership a month targeting popular crypto media blogs, developer hubs, university hubs and blockchain influencers here in Nigeria and Africa.

  9. Hosting of various small meetups once per month in high schools, polytechnics, school of technologies and various departments in various universities.

  10. Supervision of the NEAR blockchain hub starting soon with Akwa Ibom State University.

  11. Hosting community quizes in NEAR Nigeria telegram group and creates support for growing ideas.

  12. Office maintenance and NPK monthly physical meet-ups.

SUCCESS RATE AND HOW WILL IT BE MEASURED

  1. increase efficiency in delivering community based services by moderators of the telegram group and increase members in the community by atleast 500 people, with campaigns that will promote community participation.
    2)Hosting of campaign such as hosting spaces, referral contest etc that will increase followership in each of this social media accounts by at least 500 followers and increased participation online to near events and near Nigeria events
    3)4 articles to be written by our content creation team of Near Nigeria which would be available via our website nearnigeria.org this is to provide readable Nigeria based materials that will easily be identified and understood by anyone passing through the site, also community participation is key as we plan on hosting events where special topics will be asked to write about and community members will be challenged to take up such topics and rewards distributed based on community vote

4)8 graphic design/meme/Infographic per week is to have content available to the Nigeria community so that complex ideas within the ecosystem can be made in simple form to the community and this will easy onboarding both in terms of community participation and draw key personnel in terms of skills and future investors into the near ecosystem. Despite the fact we already have a team dedicated to creations of such material, to increase community participation, we would involve the community and thereby raise capable hands that projects can employ. This graphics will be made available on our various social media platforms and telegram communities.

  1. GOALS OF ATTENDING BLOCKCHAIN UNN EVENT
  • increase awareness about prospects of Near to the blockchain community
  • Increase chances of securing partnership with top tech hubs during the event

Hey, can you go into more detail about this? It seems as though it could be a different proposal in and of itself.

  • What are the goals of attending?
  • How will it help you achieve success with your marketing?
  • What metrics are you measuring to determine success?

Can you share links to all, please?

Overall, I think the proposal needs to be more focused and take into account the three bullet points I added above. E.g:

How many? How will they be used?

This is Awesome and attending university of Nigeria Nsukka Blockchain Hub will help a lot in increasing awareness of Near protocol Nigeria (NPK Guild) and Nearprotocal at large

Hi @damboy22 – I second what @David_NEAR posted about the need for links to the accounts and more detail in the areas he specified. In addition to that, I would like to understand more about:

  • Who are the team members involved?
  • Who is going to be producing the content?
  • How will you track the response and report back to the MarketingDAO about the success/performance of the activities you are proposing?

In addition to that, this is a long list of different initiatives rolled into a single proposal. Some are marketing activities and others are outside of what I would categorize as marketing (HR/office expenses, travel costs, translation/tutors).

I think your proposal might have more success securing funding if you proposed very distinct, focused marketing activities to the MarketingDAO and possibly submit proposals to others (Creative, Onboarding…) for additional funding as you grow the project.

To answer the first questions, near Nigeria is broken into two: The team members in which we are 14 in number. This includes I myself,

@cenwadike
@Khady Khad
@Kareemc2
Ejabani
adeiza
kbounce1
@mrufawaki
@Favourchristiana
@VICJ2000
@Paulp5000
@Crypto_doctor
@Eve
@qeeyah.near

This are the current team members involved in several aspects in the growth of Near Nigeria.
Hsmoney will be joining us soon as our community moderator once his trial month is completed.

Those involved in written content includes myself, VICJ2000 Crypto_doctor Khady and we plan on hosting events where the community will also participate in creating various topics that will be distributed this month.

We would give a report of results of all activities done within 1 month of making of this proposal in terms of activities done, success rates, challenges encountered and growth made, as this is very custom to npkguild right from the onset of formation of the guild.

In terms of some proposed activities not part of marketing, I think only one aspect isn’t which is HR/OFFICE MANAGEMENT which will be removed and settled internally.

For all expenses involved in blockchain unn conference, it is fully under marketing as this is the opportunity provided to have a 1 to 1 meetup with prospective students, developers, partners and investors which will be a major contribution to the entire ecosystem as some part of the Country despite our efforts and other local guilds in Nigeria haven’t heard about near ecosystem and the opportunities it provides and the last one year as seen reasonable amount of Nigerians entering the near ecosystem which 90% is based on our activities here in Nigeria

If you do plan to remove HR/OFFICE MANAGEMENT and propose a different amount for the funds @marketingdao-council does that mean there needs to be an adjustment to the original proposal?
