Proposal description

 Continued funding: Vlogs and News on DASH
Budget Proposal for July - September 2017
Forum thread

Basically, it's s an old good proposal that we've been making for almost a year! It's cool to see that people appreciate our work and thanks for your support - all DASH community members and all 660,000+ people, who have seen our videos and attended our conferences.

We've adjusted some of the points. Specially for MNO’s - in short:
  •   Since we’ve done 3 conferences out of 6 that we promised, we will conduct them in the following month’s. The budget for this part is held in place, so this proposal does not include any conference expenses. Again, we stick to our obligations – if it needs to be done, it’s going to be done.
  •   NEXT conference is going to be on June 20-th. Every visitor will get the chance to try specially designed crypto-menu and pay for one’s lunch in DASH, of course:)
  •   We continue making weekly meet- ups in restaurants to introduce people to DASH’s payment system in POS terminals. Since the development is on it's final stage, we need to perfect customers’ experience before EVOLUTION.

What the budget proposal includes PER MONTH:

-  DASH.com.ua Facebook page official advertising - $300DASH.com.ua
-  Youtube channel promotion - $300 

-  Regular news about cryptocurrencies and DASH on both websites (DASH.com.ua & Fork.land) - included into journalist`s salary
-  Vlogs:
video tutorials on cryptocurrency in general (how it works, why it`s cool and should be used) - included into journalist`s salary
video blogs about DASH - “ included into journalist`s salary
- Journalist- copywriter’s salary “ texts for conferences, vlogs, news, video filming and editing - “ $2000/month.

Long-term vision: build up the Ukrainian DASH community

Total: $2600 or 15 DASH (Submission fee of 5 DASH included)

Verification: My identity can be proven by @alex_ru, [b]@dmitriybtc[/b], @akhavr and all 660 000+ people, who have seen our videos and attended our conferences.

We would be happy to answer all of your questions and suggestions.

You are getting some pretty impressive numbers on youtube video's.
To bad I don't understand one word of it. If anybody here can say something about the quality of what actually said please do.

I agree that the views are impressive but I'm wondering how is it possible for video with 100k views to have 10 likes and 2 comments?

We noticed this earlier and it turns out that people comment more on vlogs they don't understand or have problems with the subject of discussion. Good example - our video about using a ledger wallet to store DASH – we still get many questions in the comment section, not in private messages:)

If you are concerned about our views amount, we buy YouTube official advertisement to grow the DASH audience, just as we did in every proposal, it's stated in the budget. This is by far the most effective way to attract new users (only if you have good content, thought). If we used bots, we would be taken out by YouTube:)
