BTT, YouTube, Reddit LOLSON
Due to the fact that these directions are new and still not fully understood, I decided to try to explain the advantages and real benefits of each direction with specific examples.
So, let's begin.
BitcoinTalk
We have a great Bitcointalk team, the goal of this team is to create an active Near Protocol presence on the BTT forum. By creating discussions, we convince other forum members that Near Protocol is a strong and ambitious project.
For example, we often use ETH / Near comparisons, mentioning our own EVM, Rainbow Bridge and other NEAR features.
Below is a screenshot of the first page of the most popular section forum Altcoin Discussion. As we can see, two topics from our member Baxoff are on the first page, so they are the most viewed.
The purpose of these topics is to create an indirect mention of Near Protocol in discussions.
Average number of comments (10-12) per day.
On average, about 80 comments are received in one week. This allows you to be CLOSE on almost every relevant topic.
In addition to creating comments and discussions, it is the responsibility of the team to create a Topic.
Topics also do not have a direct mention of NEAR, because it is regarded by the BTT administration as spam (we lost several accounts until we developed a similar approach).
The purpose of the Topic is to create the conditions for discussion of the Near Protocol.
Here is an example of a topic that has received 1000 views and more than 145 comments in 2 weeks.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350190.0
In this thread, users were asked to answer the question "Why do people still use ETH?" Thus, involving in the discussion. In turn, the BTT team members were waiting for when they could leave comments about NEAR.
We create unique topics in which forum participants want to communicate and actively discuss technologies and problems of cryptocurrencies. And also we periodically create topics in which we talk about the Near protocol for beginners.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352096.new#new
The total coverage of our topics is more than 3 thousand views per month and more than 300 comments. The figure seems small, but provided that we have a target audience, these figures can be multiplied by 3-4 times compared to traffic from Twitter or YouTube.
I would also like to note that the average user who comments on our threads and posts is (full member and senior member). THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT POINT.
Our topics are not used to increase activity on the forum, they are used exclusively for full-fledged discussions. Accordingly, we have not only a purpose, but also a unique traffic consisting of professionals in the cryptocurrency.
The importance of the BitcoinTalk forum for Near is very high, since now there are no ordinary Bounty participants on the forum, there are truly professional people left here, and if they convince them, they are able to convince several newcomers, and so on. Therefore, I believe that BTT is an important part of the Degens
What is the future of BitcoinTalk?
Again, we have a very strong and well-coordinated team. I am currently discussing the idea of a bounty with @aluminium_foil
We are also thinking of creating one big topic in which any BTT user could ask a question about the project that interests him.
We also discuss weekly improvements to our content. We are now focused on enhancing the discussion about NEAR.
So, let's see how Reddit works. I will explain this with a simple example of our articles. At the moment we have good guys, I can mention Baxoff and Vedant, they immediately understood what's what.
Oddly enough, Reddit is very similar to BitcoinTalk. We use a similar approach that produces results. Unfortunately, not all participants have understood this yet, but everything is ahead, they simply do not have strong accounts on Reddit.
Why does mentioning "NEAR best project, NEAR news" never work on Reddit? I am targeting popular subreddits like Cryptocurrency, Trading, NFT and so on.
Their popularity lies in the fact that these directions are very strictly moderated and no one will succeed, just write about Near, add a couple of links and get banned.
We tried to mention directly about the Near, met only negative in the comments, or negative from the side of moderation. BUT we found in which we do not get banned, but at the same time we have complete freedom in mentioning Near Protocol on the most popular subreddits.
We use some popular topic, for example, the high fees used in NFT on ETH and mention NEAR. Now I will show you how it works.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NFT/comments/oxvmu4/why_will_nfts_on_eth_soon_become_a_thing_of_the/
r/NFT - the most popular NFT subreddit on Reddit.
I decided to create an article about high results in OpenSea and share it in / r / NFT, we got a good effect and activity.
reover, in this article, we managed to synchronize transactions in NEAR by comparing them with Ethereum. The article also mentions explorer from Near, wallet and other developments.
In 3 days we received 52 comments.
Again, this seems like a small number, but we're on a subreddit where members are focused on learning about NFT. Moreover, we received a comment from the / r / NFT team
On average, we get over 100 likes per week, create about 12-13 posts and get at least 100 comments per week. I think this is not a bad result, since we always focus on target users.
Also, the principle of Reddit's work is based on the principle that fresh posts are viewed much more often in the hope of finding DYOR or financial advice, we use this by publishing various NEAR studies.
What is the future of Reddit?
We need to focus on the very unique content I used above. Unfortunately, not all participants can do this difficult job. But I am sure that within a month we will form a powerful team of 2-3 people who create high-quality content, the rest of the users will be responsible for news and announcements on reddit.
YouTube Comments
This direction is still developing. Together with @ SEM029, we organized the work of 5-6 of the most active people. I still intend to reduce the number of users in the group, we should achieve about 5-7 active users with 3-4 accounts.
We currently write about 70 comments per week.
The goals of this group are to increase the presence of the NEAR Protocol blog in YouTube discussions, as well as to draw attention to NEAR. We have made progress in this direction.
Here are screenshots of bloggers' responses and reactions over the past 7 days.
We try to attract the attention of bloggers by actively discussing the NEAR protocol. In addition to YouTube, we are now concentrating on Twitter as well. I am confident that the security system will help attract the attention of bloggers to Near Protocol.
I also track the activity of each participant using diagrams in Google forms. Thus, I am testing a method in which the best member of the group is automatically identified.
