More targeted in what way?

2025-03-27 23:21:19

Okay, time for a report on my Nostr advertising experiment.
Two days ago, I started another advertising test with zapadd.com. My second test. I had done the first one last year. It brought me the following results: no conversions, but about 60 new followers.
This time, I prepared the test better and tracked the click path more effectively. Because it's anything but optimal. For Primal users, the zap appears directly under the note (regardless of whether it's a main post or a reply, whichever is the latest). When you click on it, a pop-up appears with all the zappers of the post. If you're lucky, you're the only zapper; if not, the user has to dig you out from a list and then click on your profile.
Yakihonne users (and other clients) only see the zapper in the notifications and can either click on the post that was zapped or go straight to the profile.
In both cases, if things go well, the first goal is the profile.
So I had to optimize my profile accordingly to catch the users. This means adding a new profile header with text that describes what it's about. Plus a visible note(!) that the link to the offer, in most cases a landing page, is located in the profile.
The URL in my case was quite long: https://mslmdvlpmnt.com/get-your-website-tested/
No one can pronounce my domain name anyway, so I at least shortened the part after that. I quickly set up a redirect from https://mslmdvlpmnt.com/test and the preparation was done.
Honestly, this is quite cumbersome and sub-optimal this way, but I tried to make the best of it. With all these intermediate steps—clicking the zap note, selecting the zapper again from the list, landing on their profile, reading the text from the header image, then moving the gaze a few centimeters down to discover and click the link—there's a lot of friction lost.
As for the zap amount, I selected 50 Sats to 1000 random users. You have to spend a bit; with the usual 1-2 Sats zaps, you won't get far.
That experiment was two days ago, and there have been no conversions yet. But over 100 new followers. So it still holds true:
As a marketing measure, this whole thing cannot yet be monetized. Maybe my offer is just too niche; I should try to advertise something more popular. But you can still gain a few followers this way. That wasn't the purpose, but I'm still grateful for it.
Sure, we all don't want to see everything plastered with ads here. But it could be handled a bit smarter. For example, some settings could be integrated into the Nostr client to decide whether one wants to see such Zapadd ads at all. There aren't many providers at the moment, so they can be easily blocked. One could also set a threshold for how many Sats an ad should have to pass through. Then everyone could decide whether they want to make their notes available as ad space. Just a suggestion.
Nostr client developers are certainly encouraged to think about this and at least eliminate the friction in the click path. @npub1kje…4x4r also started experimenting on it, but he has been a bit quiet lately. And now I've tried it a second time. Nostr client developers could either pick up this idea or continue to ignore it. But one thing is clear to me: Nostr needs to move more towards business. Otherwise, someone else will release a client or even a completely new network where this works better.

I'm not handling any payments. It's just a directory. Buyers contact sellers directly and everything else happens behind the scenes. I don't even log it. It's just an email form to contact the seller directly. Or they can use their email client or sometimes the seller has an online store and the buyers don't even have to use email. It's really P2P.

And that's the problem with software development today: comprehensive concepts and plans are no longer made in advance. People just start programming, using these pseudo-sect frameworks that are called "lean" or "agile" or whatever. Nonsense that impatient businessmen have come up with, who have no understanding of good development projects. It has been imposed on developers in many companies and sTaRtUpS, and it's infecting the open-source world as well.
Does anyone here still know how to do software organization and how to plan projects using the function point method? Or have all the developers' brains already been "scrummed" away? #nevent1q…vmfp

He is mostly right. I just don't believe that it's a psyop in the sense that a group of people is intentionally executing it against another group. There are just many factors coming together that lead to everyone being isolated and alone, and families spending more than necessary. But a certain group benefits from the status quo, which is why it's never addressed as a problem.
The current work culture mostly in cities is one factor, the ego-targeting entertainment industry is another, among many others. I don't know if the gentleman is aware of how much would need to be reversed to return to a pre-industrial family structure. And we all know it starts with a sound money based economy.

Just a question for clarification:
If you use a WOT relay, do you have to remove all other relays from your relay list in the Notr client? Because WOT limits the displayed notes to the group of people in the WOT circle to prevent bots. However, the bots could still enter through the other public relays, so using a WOT relay with other public relays doesn't make sense. Am I understanding this correctly? #asknostr

The fact that so many topics and trends from Twitter spill over to Nostr and are represented so poorly here that one has to scroll through their Twitter timeline for 2 minutes to understand them is already a sign of content poverty.
The uncritical adoption of the agenda of the legacy media, which first infects Twitter and then indirectly Nostr, does not fit at all with the supposedly free and sovereign Nostriches.
Forget my thread from the day before yesterday; THIS is the real sign of content poverty here.

It's actually pretty simple. It's just a directory where sellers can list themselves and their products or services for free.

The marketplace itself isn't involved in buying or selling—everything happens peer-to-peer between the buyer and the seller.

Thank you for that. I actually set up this "marketplace" two years ago, and it is essentially just a directory. Since then, we have had various discussions with different people about setting it up on a Nostr basis. However, there is a fundamental problem with that. It needs to be moderated to some extent, and certain types of products are (Islamically) not allowed. For example, I cannot let people sell red wine through it.
The fact that it's a Bitcoin marketplace is actually just a side note, as it is the most halal form of money.

So, the answer is: Yes, engagement rates have dropped on average and compared to before. You lazy bums.
How did I measure that? I didn’t count and analyze the replies, but the fact that I stirred up a hornet’s nest means there’s some truth to my claim. And the positive replies from people with over 10K followers don’t count. They just drop a quick "GM" and immediately start trending. Which in turn encourages others—people, bots, and spammers—to reply even more, amplifying the effect.
A few people completely failed to grasp the question, thinking I was claiming that user numbers in general had dropped. Some even concluded that this was yet another "Nostr is dead" debate. They should take their reading comprehension over to TikTok or Instagram and go like some pretty women’s photos.

Okay, I took this suggestion seriously and I'm giving it a try. But not for 10K sats—that would be too little. Because I have to do it commercially, meaning I have to pay taxes and all that.
So, at €25 with a 10% discount for BTC payments, that leaves €22.50. I have to pay 19% VAT, which leaves me with €18.91 net. At the end of the year, another 25% income tax is deducted, leaving me with €14.18 net. Since one of these tests takes me about 2-3 hours, I'm really not making a huge profit here. I do this to improve the Nostr/Bitcoin/Lightning/Open Source/Privacy Tools ecosystem.

Good thoughts. Fact is, a lot of Muslims were always very racist. Just think of parents' reaction of a light skinned Muslim woman wanting to marry a black African brother.

Oh yeah, you're already arguing like a state educator, following the principle of "because of a few negative cases, our measures must now be applied to everyone." How stupid do you actually think I am? School-stupid? Ever heard of precision and individual assessment?
You write: "society (and many parents) intend to force their beliefs on the young generation"
That's a strong claim, especially when you say "force." Do you have any numbers to back that up? Or is this another case where a few rare exceptions are turned into a rule to justify imposing secular, state ideologies on all children? Because I do have numbers to support that claim: all public schools.
But what you probably mean is not "force," but rather the natural right of parents to raise their children according to their culture and religion without state interference—or even the mere thought of it, right? Just as humanity has done for thousands of years before the state, with its hordes of bureaucrats and fiat educators, reached its dirty fingers toward our children under the pretext of "child welfare."
