run ads on tiktok target big U.S cities for a chance a big influencer sees it and makes a tiktok about it π
would be interesting if the community were to fundraise funds for an ad campaign n you can use geyser to do it
You're literally single handedly bringing us to Hypernostrization π
Spending on ads for a free app with no revenue
or zaps from a certain day to a certain day and make an event of it
Pls sir run it sir I am bad at such things
Iβm super down for a whole week every zap sent to you can go towards the campaign and we can have like a way to show maybe a target and how the progress bar fills up with every zap and would be cool if it could be in leaderboard style too and show the text attached to the zap.. maybe i can vibecode this or you can? A simple webpage with the ability to zap you as well
Iβll make memes to prompt it the whole week multiple times a day
Social media where being able to send money instantly is a main feature, but clients have no way to monetize themselves.
This seems like a bug π€
Unrelated meme
I don't wanna ask nostr for any money, I don't think we can realistically make a dent, I think we gotta just word of mouth this bitch, the app is legit good for a normie they get a good feed right away
and after itβs finished we show the progress of the campaign all publicly so people can follow along with it
an easy way for that would also be a unique hashtag made now so people follow it from beginning to end
The design is beautiful π€©
ahh I think Iβd disagree n say itβs more achievable than you might think and growth for wisp is growth for nostr and bitcoin as a whole, these people are are looking for a way to monetize their content and telling them they keep 100% of it would be a game changer, currently tiktok takes 50% from live streamers in the form of their tokens which are valued 50% once theyβre bought and sent through gifts. Theyβre also tired of censorship theyβre constantly having to censor themselves on stream, content posted and comments, finding new slang to bypass this. If the ads were to target pain points and be strategically deployed to the correct audience it could totally make a dent, it has the potential to go viral, in my mind at least. I could be completely wrong but idk what Iβm not seeing in order for that to be the case..
I just mean, I think our very best case is we raise like $500, which buys absolutely nothing. To run a real campaign we need real money
$500 strategically deployed is significantly better than nothing.. it gives it a chance
I tried raising a bit for nostr archives that costs $2000/yr to run... I got $11 π«£
But I'm down if you wanna be the leader I will endorse and follow
Letβs fucking gooo
Give me til tomorrow and we can start ima get to cooking
Faaaaaahhhh
I didnβt even know, maybe you should post that more often like for a week or two long lol
Frequently**
It's blood from a stone, users are tapped out is my sense, bear market too, shoulda done it last year lol
Nice work UtW π π π πͺ π π
Thatβs true
Testing it ππ½
π
I wouldn't be on Nostr anymore if it wasn't for Wisp.
Clean ππ»
Where is?
ok
Many thanks! @Eusebio Argueta /
Why am I rock hard right now? Oh yeah. Because this is the best client I've ever used πͺ
Thank you @utxo the webmaster π§βπ»
Run ads on Wisp. Thereβs a 99% chance TikTok would shadowban such a project that goes against the doom scroll, attention harvesting culture. Ads on Wisp could be placed on the top and bottom of articles, in the feed etc. I donβt think thereβs any other way to monetize a free app without harvesting and selling data. Create a quasi Signal/Facebook approach. Donβt collect user info, collect pseudonym info to position ads.
Thinking out loud.
Then fork, remove ads, why would I want open source application to have ads? I'm not sure if that's the way, I'd add an invite me a coffee thing that allows users to send directly to the developers or something like that but ads idk
Donations arenβt scalable. Ads are a model that works and is scalable., theyβre also very productive. The problem with ads has been the privacy aspect. Placement could be categorized by using something similar to how Plausible tracks session data - no visible kyc aspect. The criteria doesnβt have to be for fiat like products it could be for genuinely profitable bitcoin/ freedom tech products. If we keep using the throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks model, itβs going to be gimmicky.
Hardcore ad haters can fork β> definitely a feature not a bug.
Idk Amethyst has exactly that model as far as I know, zap this release aka donation. I understand can be less scalable indeed but not every user will know how to fork or find the fork done by someone else and have to trust it.
But I understand your point yes, then allow users to enable/disable ads for support? That could be a midterm and many users won't even go settings and see it π
Not that I hate ads, but if I can run my relay, clients are open source, I feel it a bit off to force ads but just my vision ofc, and bitcoin products/tech ads sounds good
Not everybody who uses social media wants to run a relay or knows how to. Iβm not sure if this is possible but could a relay be incentivized to show ads as a way to monetize it?
Yeah an option to enable/disable ads would be cool. Most wonβt even be bothered and will be looking to spend.
Yeah the option feels just right, let the user decide and most will keep them on. The relay option I'm not sure either, problem is a client can choose to display or not what receives from the relay, no way to ensure the ad is actually seen π€
Maybe just the fact that the relay is correctly resharing the ad every X events/time is enough as a service tho.
shipping
Another issue is that some of the biggest names here have some financial interest in a Wisp competitor (either that invest in it, get grants for it, etc).
This is one reason I think attracting existing users is just as important as attracting new users. Word of mouth and the fact that some of us have invested a lot of ourselves here. Many of us will be here for the new users. That's worth more than the chump sats you'd raise, in my opinion.
this is definitely not an issue, you'll see soon hopefully, things are happening, stay tuned

Also true π
Happy to be proven wrong when I'm being a bitchy bear
Might want add a link to landing page in future so you grab people immediately
Iβve seen some excellent mobile app ads made with Seedance 2.0 lately. Prompt with a picture of the influencer(s), the little Wisp mascot, the website copy, and some app screens
Everything looks so polished!
And its fantastic! Might be sooner than we think!
99% is retarded. ads donβt get shadow banned they get exposure. if they donβt like the project they simply will not allow the ad to run.
good
