Thanks for your support Sasha, appreciate you.
I share your concerns, it’s also why I proposed a 60-day trial before coming to back to the DAO with a more in-depth, data-driven AIP. That said, let’s dig in:
1 - We’re working on the exact list of Spaces/Hosts right now and while a couple have verbally agreed to the concept, we’re still waiting on the others to get back. What I will clarify is that there is a Hard Cap of 1k APE per show and we expect most will be much less. Also, the funds/grants do not leave the DAO Treasury at any time.
2 - The title and format is the same for every show – ApeCoin DAO Weekly Update. Basically sharing what’s happening in the DAO, what AIPs are up on Snapshot, which ideas are in draft stage, discussing the process and the opportunities, etc
3 - Not sure where to keep the recordings just yet, totally open to whatever’s best for the community. Maybe in Discord for now but if this trial is a success (positive outcomes, new Discourse profiles, more proposals, etc) then maybe we spin up a separate website for ApeSpaces?
We can explore a collaborative stack of Atlassian’s Confluence and Jira to organise the spaces and the entire content program which anyone will be able to access and contribute towards.
One thing we’re exploring for Indexing the appearances is getting the domain apespaces.xyz and setting that up with a backend + an Interactive UI which makes it easier for anyone to access that information whenever they want. This’ll be done voluntarily by Me and some fellow apes who’d like to volunteer.
That content can be later repurposed as Podcasts or snippets for our various funnels to be used accordingly.
4 - You’re right, awareness is blurry, it is also why it’s a top-of-funnel marketing activity. We purposely revised the original proposal to stay away from Twitter Spaces that were mostly for entertainment/sh*t posting and are looking to support hosts in the BAYC ecosystem (Grateful Show EU, OtherSpace, etc) and those that are founder-friendly. We also chose to stay away from the big names (too expensive) and those with small audiences.
At some point we’ll get to specific personas and targeted-demographics through data-driven analytics, but for this MVP trial we’re basically going with what we deem to be the best audiences with the best culture-fit. Totally open to any suggestions from the community.
Thanks again for your support and for raising these valid concerns. Please let us know if you have any more questions
