Should all growth here just be organic and natural…?<br/><br/>While I was thinking this through, I had to remind myself of a hurdle that we’d need to overcome to make this work:<br/><br/>Creators DON’T want another platform.<br/><br/>Most are already overwhelmed with the number of apps they need to post on and keep up with…<br/><br/>99.9% aren’t actively looking for “another social media”<br/><br/>So…<br/><br/>🧠💭 Here’s the plan 💭🧠<br/><br/>1️⃣ Target a group of top creators on X to recruit to Primal.  <br/><br/>We’ll start with Health &amp; Wellness creators since it feels pretty tangential to the existing (primarily bitcoin-focused) network.<br/><br/>ChatGPT deep research estimates there are 200,000 health &amp; wellness influencers with over 50,000 followers on X.<br/><br/>2️⃣ Take that list and create nostr accounts for each.  <br/><br/>Start auto-populating their accounts with their existing tweets.  <br/><br/>Essentially, bridge the X accounts - whenver they post on X it auto-posts to Nostr.

Now, the most critical step is ensuring that these accounts have a way to receive zaps - even before they’re “claimed”.  <br/><br/>Sats would accumulate in their wallet until the user “claims” their account.<br/><br/>The more zaps they receive, the larger the incentive is to come over to nostr and actually claim their account (more on this soon)…<br/><br/>This would tap into into the existing nostr network to “vote with their sats” on who they want to see come over to the network… <br/><br/>It crowdsources the growth engine of the network.<br/><br/>📝Side notes/tangential ideas:<br/><br/>- Maybe Primal marks these accounts as “unclaimed/unverified” so it’s transparent<br/><br/>- After a certain number of days “Unclaimed” wallets get their sats sent back to the sender…?<br/><br/>- I’m not technical so idk how any of this would work… just dreaming up over here.<br/><br/>Now, let’s talk about setup and execution:<br/><br/>3️⃣ Cold Outbound system setup<br/><br/>Build out an email list of all of these creators in step 1.<br/><br/>Use a tool like TweetScraper or other email scraping tools.<br/><br/>Set up a cold email outreach system using Instantly AI… <br/><br/>Spin up a handful of domains and email inboxes - should be able to send 1000s of emails daily. <br/><br/>For some extra touch points set up Drippi AI for Twitter DM outreach out scale.<br/><br/>Now here’s where it get’s interesting… <br/><br/>4️⃣ The NO BRAINER pitch.<br/><br/>Message each creator with a short no brainer pitch… <br/><br/>Remember, 99% of creators don’t want another platform to post to…<br/><br/>This no brainer pitch is meant to get their foot in the door.<br/><br/>We’re not selling the full nostr vision (just yet)…<br/><br/>For now, we’re literally just going for the primal app download. <br/><br/>The pitch?<br/><br/>You have free BTC waiting for you, an audience that’s already growing, and it requires 0 effort to maintain since your account will auto-post from X. <br/><br/>Follow up with their updated stats every 14 days.<br/><br/>“You gained 197 followers and were zapped 21,538 sats these past 14 days… come claim your account and wallet”<br/><br/>This could be done at scale - sending thousands of these emails daily to targeted high profile creators.<br/><br/>5️⃣ is it even worth it…?<br/><br/>I had a conversation with <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqspywh6ulgc0w3k6mwum97m7jkvtxh0lcjr77p9jtlc7f0d27wlxpslh36g7" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qqspywh6ulgc0w3k6mwum97m7jkvtxh0lcjr77p9jtlc7f0d27wlxpslh36g7</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…36g7</span>)</a></span> and he mentioned that it seems like all marketing efforts to grow primal/nostr are irrelevant and the only thing that moves the needle are big events…<br/><br/>Things like:<br/><br/>- Twitter banned in Brazil<br/>- Telegram CEO arrest <br/>- Ross Ulbricht joins nostr (soon 👀)<br/><br/>Macro events will likely always be the needle movers…<br/><br/>But imagine 100,000 creators already warmed up when the next big wave happens? <br/><br/>Lmk what you think 👇🏽<br/><br/>Hoping this sparks other ideas and conversations<br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/PwOa.jpg"> 2025-03-28T15:52:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstwc2dw7awcuw3tqa45puxg7fgtk2skm3ul92qv5e68gcwr86c9mqzyz6txu27m4hrdv4cmjx49d823qy8a6agwruu8f8479ttt9jgdv8v57aejyx I sent 60,000 sats today as a test…<br/><br/>Here’s what happened, what I learned, and what I want to test next:<br/><br/>First off, I’m new to nostr, but things here excite me - I want to experiment, connect, and build.<br/><br/>In the last 24 hours I sent:<br/><br/>-199 zaps<br/>- 60,000 sats<br/>- Average of 301 sats per zap<br/>- Second most sats zapped on the day<br/><br/>What happened:<br/><br/>- Gained 87 new followers<br/>- Cost per follow 689 sats (~$0.65) <br/>- Super high signal followers (people building on Nostr, Founders, etc.)<br/><br/>After doing a bit of research, it appears follower campaigns on X average around $1-2 per follow 🤷<br/><br/>I decided to mainly use “testing something…” as the text that goes along with the zap… not super direct, but was hoping that it was enough to peak curiosity…<br/><br/>I almost decided to go with “quick question” which probably would have performed better, but also pissed more people off at the same time…<br/><br/>That’s another thing I noticed, there is definitely a % of users who really hate all things related to this zap-vertising concept.<br/><br/>My next test:<br/><br/>Today I zapped 199 total zaps with an average of 301 sats per zap.<br/><br/>Now, I want to try sending several thousand zaps, with an average sats per zap around 10 or so…<br/><br/>We’ll see how it goes 🫡<br/><br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/NJxg.png"> 2024-12-29T02:35:00Z
