Proposal description

Dash releases, integrations and real-world use cases deserve more than a single announcement to an English-speaking audience. They need clear explanations, regional context and continued visibility.
DashNews provides that work: finding relevant developments, checking the source, preparing the story, adapting it for different audiences, creating supporting visuals and video, and publishing through established channels.
I have already built the network and continue to operate it.

The figures below refer only to the English X account, @DashNews_Daily. They are calculated from the supplied X Analytics exports

The best marketing is a high and rising market cap. We can easily achieve that by shifting more to the masternodes. These types of proposals are a waste of money. See and support my proposal.

Bro check the price! If your model is correct, this should not be happening!

There is something to be said about native language accounts than depending on a translate button. It sounds like "one click" but it's far more than that.

I (Dashforce) used to pay a few people a few hundred bucks a month to do stuff like this, plus a whole whole lot more across many platforms. The engagement was just as good if not way better.
The other language channels have around 20-30 followers and almost no real engagement, total waste of DOA resources. X translates languages already, same as youtube.
Voting no again.

“The engagement was just as good if not way better.”

AFAIK, Dash Force operated during a very different period for Dash. Dash had a much higher CMC ranking, traded at much higher prices, and stood out in a much less crowded crypto market. That was a different starting point for attracting attention to Dash-related content.

So if you consider the engagement comparable, I’ll take that as a compliment.

On the language accounts: yes, some are still small. But “20–30 followers and almost no real engagement” overlooks the differences between them and the progress being made.

Combined follower counts increased from 419 to 483: +15.3% in roughly a month, without paid advertising, fully organic. Even excluding English, the regional accounts grew from 230 to 255. Are these large audiences? No. Would I like faster growth? Absolutely. But six of the seven accounts have grown, and these accounts also need time to mature. The stronger the subs base becomes, the easier it should become to attract the next layer of followers and improve the overall performance of the accounts.

The Turkish account already shows why follower counts alone don't tell the whole story. Its [post about Dash’s recent Turkish exchange listing](https://x.com/DashNews_TR/status/2098475283502305751) received more engagement than the English, despite its much smaller following.

A translation button makes a post readable. A local publishing presence gives it another route to the right readers. The aim is not to count overlapping audiences twice or claim guaranteed algorithmic preference. It is to create more opportunities for Dash news to be discovered through different languages, communities and conversations, rather than relying entirely on one English feed.

Most of my work is creating the content itself. Once that work is done, adapting it for another edition takes additional time - but does not require producing the story again from scratch. I publish manually on X and adjust the context, wording and emphasis instead of simply duplicating identical translations.

This is shared content production with regional distribution, not a separate production operation for every small account. The same material also supports Telegram news channels and can be adapted for other platforms without recreating the core work.

There are currently fewer local events and region-specific stories than I would like. I expect these accounts to show their strength more clearly as that activity grows. They also provide groundwork for trusted regional contributors: somewhere with a publishing history, branding and an initial audience where they can share local achievements, promote meetups and contribute their own news without starting from zero.

The goal is to build the rails before the train arrives, and use them now to give Dash’s existing work more chances to be seen.

During the Dashforce years prices ranged from around $10 up to $1500+ and back down to around where we are now. It was a wild ride.
And yes, the field was less crowded.
And yes, things were way different back in then. For one, we did not have the huge advantage of AI, which would have made pretty much everything we did cheaper, easier and faster.

That said, if someone came to me today to do what you are doing now I would offer them $500 a month and see how it went, that was our standard rate for a project of this size/scope. That price still holds true today, especially with AI making everything easier.

If they were able to get a significant amount of followers and meet other metrics I might offer up to $1500 a month depending on the overall engagement. You have not met those KPI thresholds yet.

It's not a bad idea, it's just not worth the price you're asking. Sorry.
