Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt forum now moved to nxtforums.org

[apenzl]

@ utopianfuture & apenzl : yes, as the main thread become unreadable, we must provide a newsletter. What about a blog ?

IMO newsletter should be sent out to the mailing list but also be available as blog/mag.

[utopianfuture]

I think salsacz should definitely be in the team. I will ask several others to see if they are interested. We could have up to 5-6 editors and as many contributors as possible.

Could you investigate how evernote works for a team ? We could keep it rolling.

[salsacz]

Centralized newsletter will be one important part of the decentralized Nxt. There are some blogs and some news sites, there will be magazines for everyone, for girls, for mobile fans... Sometimes an article in the news site/blog will be published first and then it will be in the newsletter. Other day will be some text sent from the newsletter first and then some users will post it on their sites, blogs... I really like this decentralized idea

You're coordinating a lot here and running things well

Let me know if you would like to collaborate on giving future NXT press releases more coverage (published more widely).

The full distribution I can offer is over at http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/services

Contrary to popular belief I am a NXT supporter - the previous issues had nothing to do with my opinion of NXT - but more with an unfortunate misunderstanding (as anyone can see by taking a look at the original bounty thread).

So here I am putting aside my personal misgivings, and offering my support once again - because I can't ignore all the awesome things going on around here

I put that 100K again for pushing the media coverage: I can give you 50K at first for a month for covering Nxt news in some places, among which there should be at least one important place (zerohedge or wallstreet or coindesk).
If the community get satisfied with your first month performance, then I give you the second 50K for continuing the news coverage until the end of March (again one or two more important media to cover about Nxt).
If you are agreed please post your complete plan for a month and a Nxt account id.

Could you investigate how evernote works for a team ? We could keep it rolling.

I took a look at Evernote. Result:

Evernote
Evernote for Business seems alright, but it costs $10 pr user a month.

Sharing a free personal account could be a way to do it BUT it will only take 1 troll in the team to change the password and the rest of us will be lost. Bad idea.

Springpad
Free. Use online or as iPhone/iPad app.

I spent some time reading up on this, because I never used it. Seems to fit better as a personal assistant, with sharable notes, pinterest-style. So-so for writing notes, good for bookmarking, photos, and being social.
https://springpad.com/about

I don't think it's the best choice.

PODIO
Professional - free or paid.
Online + iPhone, iPad, Android app.

Free for up to 5 "employees" + 5 externals. Or 9$ per employee + free to all externals.
I read: If one of us pays 9$/month + permits the rest of us to enter + contribute, we are all set.

This is by far the most usable tool, and the way to go if we want to expand the newsletter later on.
https://company.podio.com/featurelist

I have a neighbor who uses Podio. Can't get his arms down when he talks about himself, his firm and Podio. 
I will get an introduction. Perhaps throw a bottle of red wine in and make him do the initial setup for our project.

Add to this The Genesis Block and BitcoinMagazine.

Let me know if you would like to collaborate on giving future NXT press releases more coverage (published more widely).

well, your press release in December was published 8x (or google)  , there can be more news, but even gogle cannot find them... while my attempt was published 23x, probably at more sites, but google showed me these 23

But it isn't about the number of articles, after last weeks campaign we discussed the web statistics from the nxtcrypto so the next time we will know who to contact and which website is only a waste of time..

There are being some texts prepared for the Bitcoinmagazine and other big websites, we will let you know the details after they will be approved.

We are building swarm groups, they will be used for reddit voting, but also for comments at important Magazines or newspapers and for getting Facebook and Twitter likes.

We will focus on getting to the all kinds of medias, use social contacts to get to the celebrities (like Winklevoss twins)...

Now we are preparing the texts/illustrations to get the attention of media by showing them the green Nxt, in oposite of Bitcoin who is only wasting the computing power..

+ there will be more infographics, videos, VIRAL videos... you know the drill

It would be wonderful if Bybitcoin could support the PR campaign that I could lead (with others), so we could also pay something to the authors of new articles, chinese translators etc... That's why I wrote him a few times in last days about my wish to work on:
bybitcoin:

I put 100K for financing media coverage: I do not stop nor push anybody from doing marketing.
What I can do is to help financing anyone who can do it up to 100K Nxt. And this I do as a favor
(not my favor, but the favor from all of our pool donators), and not as a task or debt.

And I started last week.
As I can do it fulltime... I am working on the scientific paper about Nxtmyths, Nxtmyths infographics and all will be combined to the Nxtmyths video, but since I spend here 16 hours/day, 7 days/week, it is better to do something else too

[utopianfuture]

I support  salsacz as his efforts recently has been very effective and as far as I remember he did not get paid at all for these works. So if bybitcoin, klee other other donors want to support a media campaign, you should seriously consider salsacz to lead these efforts.

As for psybits, we welcome you to help NXT. You should contact salsacz to collaborate. It is fine if you want to work on your own campaign but you would have to show how effective you are first.

I would expect individual donor support would become less less as NXT grows. Fortunately we have a good sized community fund that can be used for many activities, but all of these would generally have to go through a collective decision making process. Ultimately, I would think funding would go to a person who show they can volunteer and go some extra miles to help NXT.

[salsacz]

http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=40&sub=6
as you can see in the statistics, after the campaign on 8 January 2014 were created 3times more accounts than before.
It was 400 new accounts with trades per day, after the campaign - 1400, 1200 and 1000 new accounts with Nxt transfers per day.

We have just witnessed the most successful days of Nxt adoption

yes, deciding tool is the very first step for collective work... it should be easy to use, preferably free, google docs kinda style, Podio look good though (need to consider size of team, it might expand or shrink anytime), we collect edit, final result can also be sent as PDF file so one can print out/distribute to media magazines(coindesk, etc.)

I agree, SEO is yet another important stream, when someone types NXT on any search engine, NXT articles should be the first 5 results... this of course takes time, but with good content it is achievable in 1 or 2 month continues work...

First article can be collective work, and I think after couple more articles, then we might take separate topics to cover and spend some time to write valuable article with combination of all news from BTtalks, forums, softwares, recent bounties, feature analyzes/ideas, etc.

Okay I can release the entire 100K to you, so you can handle the entire process with salsacz and whoever else that might assist.
But I ll need a report at the end of each week. Also I do not care much about numbers: our interest is to get the nxt word to the main crypto and/or finance media sites as wallstreet, zerohedge, coindesk, bitcoinmagazine and genesis block...

Furthermore I offered the 100K fund to psybits again, because there were a series of headaches between us regarding funding his campaign.
As I stressed before, his pms I have saved and can present to the public to prove I did not show any coldness but exactness and accountability regarding his payments offer... still I offered him again here, to show my seriousness to help the press campaign.

But yes it is much better if I release the 100K fund to utopianfuture and he+ salsacz and whoever else that helps (including psybits) can gain from that fund and any extra donation that may come from other donors.

Bit777 told me that he is very interested about adding NXT to his casino.
Imagine the result : it will show everywhere on this forum and some specialised site through banners like I have on my signature.
We have to push the devs to support this project though. I told CfB about it but he said that it is up to Jean-Luc to decide.

[psybits]

There is a lot more than 8 results here: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22bitcoin+descendant+nxt+features%22&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1CHMO_en-GBAU536AU536&espv=210&es_sm=93&ei=qpnUUsCgE6eziAed84HADA&start=0&sa=N&filter=0&biw=1511&bih=741&dpr=0.9

.

That all sounds fine - when I have time I can send out a press release and be paid what the NXT community thinks it's worth.

EDIT: I could do a lot more with the full 100K - but I respect the community's decision.

I will just have to buy even more NXT

There is a Bitcoin Meetup in London coming up next week on January 21:

http://www.meetup.com/London-bitcoin-me ... 159181392/

We need to get a few Nxters there to promote and educate people on Nxt.
