People are apprehensive about paying for marketing ever since Brian page fucked us. Not saying that pay for marketing wouldn't work, but the last attempt set bts back massively. It was false promise after false promise.
We also paid delegates like method-x to do marketing, in which he did absolutely nothing.
Fool me once, shame one you. Fool me twice shame on me. Fool me three times, kick me in the balls and tell me not to be so dumb.
Yeah... but I think you can agree that some of their lack of performance had to do with a less than marketable product. Or at least not being able to find a market that wanted/needed/could use that product other than those that invested.
What we had then to what we have now is like night and day.
We do not need to pay a marketer.. what we do need are tools to allow people to better market what we have and a roadmap to how people can profit for themselves using the refer program. Now mind you someone can design a program like this themselves and host their own wallet and then in turn be able to profit based on their performance. It's just that the barrier to entry on that front on the technical end is a bit more than most marketers are willing to stomach.
So there are two or three items I see that we could potentially consider if we were going to use a Worker in this regard:
1. Market research to better identify our target audiences so that we can target our messaging accordingly -
intelligence2. Develop the process/app of launching customized wallets to be more adoptable for marketers -
tools3. Have a management and development department with these tools to promote/manage/support marketers -
executionThere is literally the largest army on earth of work at home affiliate marketers that can be employed if the right type of alignment is put in place as i have outlined.
That is where we should be focusing as a DAC platform.
To enable the masses with opportunities to prosper through Bitshares.
We can put together such a proposal for a 'roadmap' in this regard along with budgetary requirements and proposal to execute.
Perhaps with the introduction of no negative voting it might have some legs.
This all really depends on if you want to see Bitshares brand itself grow. Leaving it to anybody else only will result in the promotion of their own brand. Take for example Ronnie.. Openledger is the brand being promoted along with Obits... his efforts affect the price of obits, not really Bitshares.
If you want to see market cap and branding of Bitshares grow, then these are my recommendations based on 20+ years in business.
Thoughts?
