Topic: Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt forum now moved to nxtforums.org - page 32. (Read 78047 times)

I'm staying out of the rest of the discussion for now, but will say that they work for Samsung and Vodafone, so they should at least be able to deliver.

However, just in case it's hot air (we are talking marketing people here ), this is exactly why I propose to give them the Nxt on completion. 

Keep discussing, no need to make it too easy for these guys 

First of all, a nice & complete branding is needed. Not just some random stuff you listed. When we have the branding, we can have banners/posters.

But keep in mind that nxt is decentralized. It would be just a resource for possible design rules.

What do you mean with "logos, a lot of logos"?

Doesn't have to mean anything


Complete branding package? Yes, this is a bargain.

Their work so far is ok, but not more. We have great designers in this community, so don't just throw the money at this new guys and hope. But a complete branding package could be nice. We could give them a chance.

I vote for "30,000 Nxt", since I had a lot of time to think about that

What was in my mind to have:

- business cards
- logos, a lot of logos
- posters
- BANNERS, many different sizes, with more and less words, editable texts (for advertising at sites and magazines)
- billboard
- maybe some big pictures for our sites


Don't forget we have only nxt.org domain now.

People, next week on Sunday I am having a meeting with three designers and how they could contribute.

To reiterate: they have their own design company, and would like to help.
However, this will not be totally for free (at least, I don't want them to do it for free, I want them to be paid in Nxt, so they will be linked to Nxt and have incentive to keep adding value to it )

I want to try and pull the whole Nxt "image" together into one unified whole, so we can present this at conferences and all outward communication.
People will of course be free to not use it, but at this moment the amount of images and press material is all over the place. Let's make it easy for people to get it, so people can quickly set up press initiatives or conferences, even at a few hours notice, if needs be,

I would like:

- ideas about what the "image" of Nxt should be, in emotional terms: powerful, playful, happy etc.
- ideas about colours.
- input on what we need: stationary, business cards, sites, cars, planes
- promotional gifts?: USB cards, pens, pins?

I also would like to request 30,000 Nxt in funds to be able to give to them for delivery of these things (and others we might need). This is a normal fee for a complete corporate image and it would help enormously. This way I can dangle a carrot in front of them big time and we will have a team that we basically hire. I've negotiated that this would be a one time fee for these services if we can get that whole team to agree. After that, I expect them to be hooked and earn their way themselves.

Personally, I think this is a bargain. We would have a repository of material where we could point people to. We will make t-shirts and cards etc. We can also ship them to people who need them. By "we", I mean "me and these guys" at this moment.

Seeing as we don't have a committee yet (do we?) I would like to tally "ayes" and "nays" in here.

The funds would go in a separate account, so nothing would be sent to me personally by the way. That is a no-no. I'm the inbetween guy, not the receiver.

Hopefully, you all like this idea. If you want more info, ask, and I will get it to you.

- NEW: Nxt as a national currency. Coin or asset built on top of the network as a currency for African countries, casinos, local communities, travel agencies, hotels

- Why is pure Proof of Stake in Nxt best solution for cryptocurrencies?

- How can you mine Nxt only with solar energy?

- How could decentralized exchanges change the world? (no Government, no censorship, USA, China...) - + decentralized messaging, DNS
 - - Decentralized internet and Nxt solutions: Salsacz [proofreading phase]


- The 51% Attack - technical details, history of 51% attacks, how it ended, Nxt solution (is Nxt safer than other PoS currencies?) (Ghash's pool is risking Bitcoin's security again with 40% of the network's hashpower and no one is talking about it. Pools of PoW machines with enormous hashpower is Bitcoin's most pressing concern and biggest flaw right now. Nextcoin is the best answer to this. Why is it not being talked about more?)
- Zahlen

- Nxt: gaming friendly currency (vs. Litecoin, a graphic cards killer) - Due to Litecoin's difficulty skyrocketing there is a global shortage of Graphic Cards, which piss off gamers tremendously and drive up the price for grahics cards. NXT solves this. (Uniqueorn's idea, maybe reserved for him..?)

- Nxt + Raspberry (+other similar platforms (Cubietruck)) (can be different articles, also short articles) (0 energy  forging package)

- Transparent Forging (very very technical, history of mining, comparisons)

- bithic
- Damelon
- many free spots

- Why is Nxt so friendly currency?: (i) It *doesn't* have VC capital backing. ii) It *doesn't* have "slick sales guys*. iii) It *does* have smart devs and an increasing following.  iv) It *is* delivering its promises (more or less) on time.) - more about the community, people form all over the world, community funding, decentralized company - a world of free individuals who all believe in Nxt. 1500 pages in Bitcointalk
- bithic

- How Nxt changed my life


Future (short) articles: (now it's to soon):

- Who accepts Nxt as a payment? (+ fee in Nxt vs. Bitcoin vs. fiat (VISA))
- Nxt invites altcoins to host on it's blockchain
- Can be a new internet stored on Nxt's blockchain / DNS system?

Discussion in Topic: Nxt marketing & promotion
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-marketing-promotion-nxt-forum-now-moved-to-nxtforumsorg-412243

Made a charity page as a hub for all (future) charities. I really hope we get a lot more on this list.

www.nxtforcharity.org


First charity: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-6k-raised-for-songs-of-love-468258

now it is possible, at least once, to get bounty "graphic=500Nxt"

Check videos on first page of this topic first. Provide a script, we have people who could deliver a voiceover. We have open bounty for such videos, but they must be nice and have perfect content, written with the real knowledge of Nxt.

If you provide an article on a nice media site, then there is a 3K Nxt open bounty. If only a small article, to publish at some small site, it is 500. (see gdoc, green table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgAGADgnQcrtdHRrV3V3Z1lzOXVEMWtqdElUaEtqV1E#gid=15

I sent it to digit.ru. But it isn't easy for me to find better russian magazines. Do you know where this could be published? thanks

I sent to panda my article about Decentralized internet and Nxt solutions for proofreading. If anyone wants to see the draft even before corrections, feel free to send pm

I have a really good feeling about the NXT. There is just so many possibilities in it.

hi,
I kinda didn't like the video, because it didn't mention the real or the strongest reasons why Nxt is not a coin. Aliases are only a small feature, if we compare them to Nxt as a platform for building new currencies on top of it, for building Twitter, Facebook and all decentralized internet on top of Nxt. So information there weren't wrong, but we could say much more cool things about that PS: you have mentioned phrase "nextcoins" on your donation page

Would be great if you guys could take a few minutes to review and possibly contribute. I'm working with Damelon (Bitcointalk Nxt Summaries and Reddit) to make it happen.

Also confirming in here that I hold the account and that it is 4636321498642303120.

The first goalpost is about 35,000 Nxt, so Nifty and Justabit can start posting press releases.

That's 24,000 Nxt that needs to be donated for the first goalpost Smiley

Private funding, too. Whether for charity or marketing, that's a bargain.  Grin  - Damelon

This is true.
As I say, there is as yet no centralised marketing plan.

I am plugging the testing as hard as I can in every article that I write and mention it (even if I have to shoehorn it in) on reddit answers, too.

At this point, I again come to the part where I say there isn't enough info to actually "promise" anything yet.

We see in the testing phase that some things that were put on the wiki (trading real world commodities) require much more work than previously thought.

So basically what I do is mention that this is a real possibility and that devs are working on it: preparing the ground without an ETA, but planting the idea.

I would think that this could be easily extended to a bigger strategy.

You can still plan marketing stuff for it.

Do we even know when it will be released? (short answer: no)

Is there a marketing plan for the release of the AE?

I have no problem with a spot of charity (as u guys may remember  ) but I am just not keen on SongsOfLove at all.
I think it's a very bad fit for NXT.
http://www.songsoflove.org/

However, the agency promoting this to us, Cointropolis, may be able to bring something else to the table.
http://www.cointropolis.com/

And again (gonna beat this point until it's good and dead) it's still too early to go mainstream with NXT marketing.
Over a month or 3, maybe we'll be sponsoring F1, but right now we still need to have tech-savvy users, not Joe Public.
Some merchants would be useful, btw.
