Interesting. I know back in 2018, marketing at all was difficult at best. What with the complete censorship of Crytpo by Google and Facebook. I'm not against marketing but I think some of HIVE's greatest attractions are its lack of censorship and decentralized nature (or at least an attempt at decentralization).
I wonder where a site like HIVE might benefit from marketing? It seems counterintuitive to market on the mainstream media, offering exactly what they don't have. If the ads were successful, it's hard to think they wouldn't just censor them again. Of course, there's always marketing within the cryptosphere and on Twitter.
Also I wonder if marketing could be done through the process of creating a proposal? Seems it would have to be well thought out and written accordingly. That's a little beyond my solo abilities. 👍😁
I’m actually working on another article right now that covers how this can be done effectively but in a nuanced fashion.
Marketing is key but I’ve found a way to properly align it with economic incentives that would strongly encourage users to participate in this form of marketing but the end result wouldn’t be the obnoxious spamming of ads either here on Hive or elsewhere. Placement is good but this form will be received as word of mouth advertising in an effective form.
When I finish this article I will be sure to link it in this thread so you can share your opinion on what you think about it.
Nice. Looking forward to reading it.
