The bigger the network the lower the value of each member. On such a large network like twitter it can become hard to see people as valuable humans. You just see an other account.
Maybe. Just a thought.

βNostr doesnβt have the numbers.β
Yet on Twitter, with 6,000 followers, I sold just one painting in nine year.
On Nostr, in two years, Iβve sold over thirty.
Perhaps the numbers are elsewhere.
But here, there is value.

DM for you
Guess those 6,000 were just scrolling... Meanwhile, Nostr folks are scrolling and collecting!
Keep creating, you're in the right place.πͺ
People don't seem to understand that the vast majority of engagement on platforms like X.com is completely fake. It's either bots, trolls, or people with endless time to waste saying stupid things. They allow all of it deliberately because it keeps more people on the platform.
The users here are built different.
Iβve been telling all my friends. 40 people who truly VALUE your work, enough to pay sats and interact with you directly, is worth 4,000 or more who get a low bitrate version of it that hardly means shit, and that gives the middleman far too much.
View quoted note βYou have over 40k followers, lots of people with big npubs actively promote your posts and you're on the follow-recommendation/onboarding lists.
Hardly any one on here has a similar experience and nothing they can do will ever change that. It's the hopelessness, that causes them to leave. They can't see their follower numbers steadily increase with effort and interaction.
I've been hovering around 6k, for over a year, and most of those npubs are dormant or bots. My notes get 5 views, sometimes, and 4 of those are my alts. π
I understand the frustration.
But I didn't plant seeds for numbers β I planted to remain.
Nostr gave me little at first, but it never pretended.
Maybe thatβs what makes it rare.
Where everything is noise, even echoes sound like voices.
On Nostr, those who speak often have a face β and sometimes even a soul.
How about pubky π€£
Iβm there.
Anywhere that respects art and silence
is already home.
You were just really early and made some friends in high places. The newcomers can't be early and they have no friends.
There needs to be some other mechanism for growing your follows, other than nepotism and Just Be Me.
high risk bitcoiner β‘
The numbers on twitter are essentially fake. The Indian botnets combined with Twitter's bizarre "Freedom of speech but not freedom of reach" censorship algorithms means very few actual humans see any non-twitter-promoted post.
Big numbers, little substance.
Iβd rather have twenty real eyes
than a thousand silent shapes.
Art is high risk too.
Especially the true kind.
Maybe being "early" helps.
But staying matters more.
Over time, presence becomes resonance.
Yes, weβre built different.
Less noise, more vision.
Yes, scrolling isnβt seeing.
Here, someone truly looked.
And chose.
On Nostr, itβs not about how many see you,
but who truly looks.
Thatβs awesome. You are a very good painter ser
@corndalorian Brother, this is for you. Read this and smile till Monday.
Resonance _with whom_ ?
Who is being onboarded? All of the 14372 people who are here and active, have already had the opportunity to find me and follow me, and most didn't do it and won't do it.
It would have to be new people, and there are no new people.
according to nostr.band my follow count is now up to 1970. last time i checked about 6 months ago it was around 800. so growth is happening for me. i'm enjoying my interactions with people more too.
i consider it to be partly due to my character improving and partly due to improvements in the clients. and the steady drip of friendships growing.
IT'S BECAUSE I CONSTANTLY REPOST YOU AND PROMOTE YOUR STUFF. I HAVE BEEN BURNING MY WOT AT WARP SPEED TRYING TO KEEP YOUR NPUB ALIVE.
THANK YOU FOR NOT NOTICING. ANYTIME.
FFS.
How many have you sold in the past 3 months on Nostr?
lol, i didn't ask for it, i'm not paying for it, maybe you need to stoppit
π₯΄ done
Since the beginning of this year, Iβve sold 5 paintings on Nostr.
Not gallery numbers, but each sale is real, human, and without middlemen.
100%
It's not just about total numbers.
The quality of nostriches is far superior to whatever people who use tweeter are called
That feel when still waiting for an invite to pubkey.
I really should have asked that guy for an invite before I mentioned that I like nostr because the moment I said I like nostr he muted me
Better a few eyes that truly see
than a thousand glances that scroll past.
On Nostr, art doesnβt scroll β it stops.
Hey. Just out of curiosity. How did you go about selling paintings on #nostr?
At first, I just shared what I loved: my art and the art I admire.
Selling wasnβt even the goal.
Then zaps arrived.
The rest followed naturally.
Well said π§‘π Congrats
The noise to signal ratio is so much better here on Nostr compared to legacy social media
What has been your strategy?
Quality >> quantity
Twitter for quantity. Nostr for quality. #grownostr

I asked because I was intrigued about a possibility of well organized art store on #nostr.

And yet this note reached more hearts than years spent on other platforms.
Thank you to everyone who saw the value, not just the number. π
This is what keeps me painting.
This is what keeps me here.

Quality over quantity! When you come to think of it that's basically the value prop of NOSTR.
Join subreply.com too.
Thanks for the suggestion, but Iβll pass.
If it requires an email, itβs already somewhere I donβt belong.
Nostr showed me that thereβs a freer way β and Iβm not turning back.
Well,maybe...you're not a good painter..
Nostr is really fixing social media, and that's just the beginning
While the person already knew me, Nostr facilitated actually getting some side work. #grownostr
thank you, i just joined. hope i find real value and opportunities and connections
Thank you.
Thanks for the tip Jack, I gotta get back to work
Thanks π
Wow, thatβs great results! ππ»
Here there are more real people too, mainstream SM are full of bots and fake accounts that are even automated. Something like that doesn't make sense in Nostr since there is no algorithm in the first place.
Beautiful π€© π
Thanks
X is nonsense.
Man, Iβm muted too. I suppose we have no freedom since the gatekeeper dislikes us.
I'm muted too, but maybe for posts like this
Nostr is a cheat code.
View quoted note βThe Signal to Noise ratio is strong here
Gotcha. Thatβs what I was asking. Sorry if I wasnβt being clear. I wanted to know if thereβs clients for that on nostr. I stumbled upon plebeian before but didnβt pay serious attention to it.
So the fifth view is mine? I feel somehow doxed now π
Yes, quality engagements beat shouting into the void any day.
Great work mate. Keep it up
You saying there is less incentives for bots on nostr?
That's fire!
The metrics aren't the same
The community isn't the same
The value isn't the same
There's no 1:1 comparison with platform social media and I think we do ourselves a disservice by looking at legacy metrics as the most important. That doesn't mean they cant be useful in some ways, but I think we should recognize just how much noise there is in a typical network that makes a useful comparison extremely difficult.
Especially when what you get out of it, how likely your followers are to see your content, and the level of connection to the community can vary so greatly.
View quoted note βDid you post the same results on X?
Wow thatβs awesome
No, I didnβt post anything on X.
It feels pointless there now.
Here, sharing still means something.
Thanks. Thatβs been my impression as well
99% of my βfollowersβ on twitter are bots as well, dead internet theory in full motion over there
Exactly. Over there it feels like speaking to an algorithm, not to people.
Here, replies still come.
Obviously freedom and βgood tasteβ go hand-in-hand.

No strategy.
Iβve simply shared my art, with honesty and consistency.
Value is the key
Well done!

Hi ππ».
i guess that's where the plant buyers are! i wonder if musk plants sell well on twitter/x?
do you use a specific marketplace on nostr? what is your marketing approach?

Hi! That's really inspiring. I'm new here and experimenting with Bitcoin faucets and microtasks to earn a few sats. If anyone wants to support my learning journey, my BTC address is 1zwkdaKbmGitKiP88oY8S91RdFWbJ91XU. Either way, happy to connect and learn more about Nostr!
Okay

Well put.
I do think so, yeah
Well that's good ..
I'm all for Nostr
Value-for-value #nostr
View quoted note βYou and others always only count 'verified' or 'trusted' users.
Not everybody else is a bot. There are more users on NOSTR, you (plural) just always exclude them.
Perhaps the numbers don't matter but the people behind them do?
Follow numbers are overrated, only a small amount of the followers actually see the content on traditional social media.
Absolutely agree.
On Nostr, Iβve learned that real connections matter more than numbers.
Better 40 people who truly see and engage with what you create, than 4000 who just scroll past.
Maybe numbers donβt matter.
But the people behind them do.
Here on Nostr, a few are enough.
Because when theyβre real, theyβre worth more than a thousand.
How to make friends on nostr? By following follow list and engaged with them?
Godo. π«ππ₯Ή
Wow thats great. Congratulations π hope you get way more sales.
Thanks so much π
The key isnβt strategy β itβs authenticity.
Follow people you genuinely find interesting. Reply sincerely. Show who you are.
Nostr is still small enough that listening matters. And friendship often begins right there.
Authenticity can mean not replying or posting for a while
Silence is also part of language.
A bit like my paintings.
Authenticity is not in a hurry.
I think you are right , my challenges are to identify which things i am interested most .
I like zap stream , art and technology. I kind like poem too sometimes π
Pure human honest interaction to grow to build something new in comunity.
Sounds good. Seems pretty good here so far.
This is the way.
This is true. This is something we miss right now. All we have are bots who follow-unfollow several times a DAY and incels. Quality will take a while π¬
I always manage to learn more when I listen. Seems like a good idea given I already know what I think.
Authenticity is also the best approach so we attract our tribe. Be Well. ππ
That's what I was saying.
Chat! This is your chance. Whichever, you can make your fans. Come to stage!
