I will vote MeTHoDx in as a marketing delegate with 100% pay rate.I would suggest a public discourse with Brian to ensure your marketing efforts do not conflict with I3's strategy (whatever that may be).

The banner would advertise how stable bitUSD is.

Quote from: Gentso1 on October 29, 2014, 01:30:49 pmCould you list maybe a few ideas you had that you would be able to achieve with your budget? Or even a couple of different idea's that would be across a few budget's. Ideally Maybe another delegate or a group could merge funds to create a larger effect, If they all believe in the same strategy.Well, 50 BTS per block won't be enough to implement my entire vision but it will be sufficient enough to fund a small online advertising campaign targeting the lowest hanging fruit. All funds will go directly toward advertising. I consider this volunteer work.Reddit ads in /r/BitcoinMarkets and /r/FuturologyCoinmarketcap.comThe budget and my personal time constraints won't allow for much more than this.

I think it would be a good idea if delegates had their own dedicated website where they talk about what it is they are going to do and WHY they should be delegates. Also, it might be a good idea if delegates post the metrics to be used to measure their performance. I think saying that you can't really measure performance is unacceptable.

It isn't much, but then again you are independently wealthy and are seeing your own stake grow.I assume this $2500 a month is for a 'salary delegate' and not a standard delegate. Is there some official explanation of what a salary delegate is/how it works. I've obviously missed it.A delegate with 100% pay rate under the new rules... 50 BTS per block.

Good question. Traditionally, I measure marketing performance by revenue minus how much I spend on advertising. It's really easy when you can track everything that's going in and out of a funnel... It won't be possible to objectively measure any delegate position. If you're a developer you could have someone like bytemaster determine the code quality and we can all see commits being made on github. Marketing will be considerably more subjective since there is no way to track how much a marketing campaign adds to market cap.Similarly to seeing a developer post commits, you can see the ad campaigns I launch. I can post the results of any A/B tests I conduct so ALL marketing efforts can benefit from a scientifically provable marketing message.

As we promised , to help the communication between Chinese and the rest of the world.....This is a Chinese translation of your post , we will post it to the Chinese sub-board as well.
I'm thinking it would be useful to allow delegates to edit their own sections. Maintaining this would be a lot of work for one person. Would a wiki format work?

The market for initial public offerings will look for its next big winner in Xoom Inc., a fast-growing money-transfer service for immigrants in the U.S. looking to send money to their home countries.IPOs have gotten off to a fast start in 2013. Companies raised more than $4.8 billion in January on U.S. exchanges, the most in the first month of any year, according to Dealogic. Another $525 million has been raised so far in February. Each of the past four weeks has brought at least one new issue that remains 20% or more above its debut price.San Francisco-based Xoom is looking to raise as much as $86.3 million and notch a starting market value as high as $468 million.Xoom operates Xoom.com, a money-transfer business that lets people living in the U.S. use Web-connected computers and smartphones to send money internationally.Related VideoWarren Buffett is one of the most successful investors of all time. MarketWatch's Rex Crum looks at stocks Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and insiders within the company have bought over the past 90 days. (Photo: AP/Getty Images)The market for so-called remittances is poised to grow: Since 2004, the global market has expanded at a 12% annual rate, to $513 billion in 2011, according to the World Bank, and it is expected to grow an additional 7% a year through 2015.Xoom offers cash transfers to 30 countries outside the U.S, though transfers from the U.S. to the Philippines, India and Mexico represent about three-quarters of its business. Nearly a quarter of its transactions are sent through mobile devices."You no longer need to walk to an agent location during business hours, fill out forms, queue up, and wait another 10 minutes for the teller to process the transaction," said James Friedman, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group LLP, which isn't helping to underwrite the IPO. "With Xoom.com, you can send money 24/7, within minutes, at a smaller cost."The company generates revenue primarily from transaction fees. While its revenues so far represent a scant to 2% to 3% of those of industry leader Western Union Co. , competitive pricing and consistent growth could help it build market share, Mr. Friedman said.Xoom's fast growth has attracted investment from venture capital firms including Sequoia Capital LLC, which will retain a roughly 18% stake after the offering, according to the Xoom's filings. Other early investors will keep roughly 40%.Xoom's revenue grew 68% in the first nine months of 2012, to $57.8 million. The company hasn't reported a profit in any full year and booked a net loss of $4.3 million for the nine months that ended in September, as marketing and customer-service costs increased.The stock is slated to list Friday on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker XOOM.Also on tap in the coming week is ConnectOne Bancorp Inc., a community bank chain founded in 2005 and based in Englewood Cliffs, N.J.ConnectOne, formerly known as North Jersey Community Bancorp Inc., operates eight branches and holds a loan portfolio made up largely of commercial-real-estate and business loans. Profit grew 28%, to $6.1 million, during the first nine months of 2012 from a year earlier.Shares of the last two bank IPOs haven't fared well. Miami's Capital Bank Financial Corp. and Colorado's National Bank Holdings Corp. both are trading below their September IPO prices.ConnectOne plans to list on the Nasdaq Stock Market on Tuesday under the ticker CNOB.Two medical-test makers could make it to market in the coming week. Cancer Genetics Inc. will look to raise as much as $40 million by listing on the Nasdaq. The early-stage company develops tests using DNA for diagnosing hard-to-detect blood, ovarian and cervical cancers. The Rutherford, N.J., company is to start trading on the Nasdaq Wednesday under the ticker CGIX.A holdover from last week may again make an approach to the market, according to bankers working on the deal. AutoGenomics, of Vista, Calif., makes genetic tests used to determine a predisposition toward, or the presence of, diseases and other medical conditions. The company is looking to raise as much as $66 million on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker AGMX.
I'm an independently wealthy serial entrepreneur with too much time on my hands and an obsession with BitShares. Since I already invest so much time (and even money) in BitShares, I've been considering running a paid marketing delegate. I believe bytemaster has stated elsewhere that he only wants developers as delegates so I don't know how he would feel about this.If elected, I will focus my skills on what I know: marketing. I think BitUSD (and other BitAssets) have the most viral potential in areas outside Western countries. Argentina, Greece, Ecuador, Spain, Philippines etc, etc. Establishing ourselves in any ONE of these niche markets would send our market cap through the roof and facilitate horizontal viral growth into other related niches.What I WANT to do / see done:Launch an advertising campaign on strategic sub-reddits.Pitch BitUSD to Bitcoin businesses outside America where real USD demand is high but supply is low (i.e. BitPagos).Contract developers for BitAsset merchant integration.Contract developers for a BitAsset specific mobile wallet (iOS & Android).Airdrop BitUSD on Argentinian area codes (requires mobile wallet).Airdrop BitUSD on Argentinian University emails (i.e. uba.ar).Would you support me as a delegate?

You will have my vote, MeTHoDx
Will you use dilution or a high pay rate to fund marketing?
I would support you in this...
As for parts of your marketing plan that do not depend on (or are greatly aided by) the mobile client, which as far as I can see is just the strategic sub-reddit advertising, how much pay would it really take to accomplish. I am more than happy to vote for you as a delegate (or a even a few), but we need to know the pay rate you will be asking for and what that pay can be effectively used for at the current stage of BitShares development.
What projects have you been involved with, from a marketing perspective in the past? How do you think its best to go forward with marketing?
Then you can tell your girlfriend you are now being payed in BitShits
