[Re : current newbie nostrich onboarding strategy]


For me, it depends on whether I'm there with them in person, or if we're chatting over the internet.

If I'm there to hold their hand, these are the steps I've been doing that work very well:

1) Give them the quick spiel on the client/relay model and why it's awesome

2) Get them setup with on their phone (the built-in ⚡️ wallet is a major step-saver)

3) Have them make a killer #introductions post, with a couple pictures of themselves and a quality intro on why they're unique/awesome

4) Show them how their post appears on a completely different client on my phone, and send them some zaps

5) I have them download a second client on their phone and log in, so they get a feel for this multi-app dynamic ( / depending on their phone)

6) I have them pull up their Primal wallet so they can see the zaps I sent them earlier, and by this point usually a few other friendly introducers have zapped as well

7) I show them my own wallet with six-figure sats in it, and describe to them the big-picture vision on how this is REAL MONEY earned by posting thoughts & memes, which can now be used in the real world.

After all of the above, I've seen a very high 🤯 rate.

NOW...if I'm DMing someone over the internet, I take a different approach. I usually focus on smaller steps, i.e. touchpoints and educational resources, since as they'll be going through the steps themselves, they'll need a stronger foundation on WHY #nostr is so powerful.

A few of my favorites:
- "The Power of Nostr" by
- "The NOSTR Protocol: Social Media 3.0" by
- "How To Earn Bitcoin And Join The Creator Economy With Nostr" by
- My podcasts with , , ,
- And for the real hardcore diggers: StudyNostr.com

From my knowledge, I haven't yet found a "perfect" onboarding experience yet where I can confidently send both of the above groups, and know they'll be in good hands to receive both the educational crash-course AND a smooth account + wallet signup, but I know client devs are working hard on building these ramps as we speak.

If there are any good ones out there I'm forgetting, please share! Now is the time to always be refining and adapting to new processes as this ecosystem continues to emerge 🌱⚡️
