AGENDA
Newsletter
Publications
NOTES
- Have an article that goes out weekly and the newsletter same week - Abidemi
- The article should not be deep and too complex
- We can leverage a subscriber approach for the special article. We can also do other topics not just crypto like government issues in Africa (linking to decentralization)
- Poor Editing and inconsistent
- Poor Editing and writing
- Newsletter subscriber growth
What do we propose can be done to increase the quality of issues?
Newsletter Subscriber Growth
- Content Strategy: Miss Purple raised that we could segment the newsletter into two or more issues per week to make it less bulky. So, we could do Editorial and Content Curation (tips, quotes, news curation, memes, community media, and announcements ). Miss Purple also suggested we not only focus on web3 topics that are already out there but talk about recent happenings in Africa and probably propose decentralized solutionsโfor instance, the current happenings in Sudan.
- Content Marketing Every contributor should be responsible for sharing the newsletter on their social media pages.
Also, since no key step has been taken to facilitate content distribution, I proposed that the newsletter coordinator takes it upon them to share the newsletter with communities.
For the past one month, we've been stuck at 300 + subscribers. It is no good news.
I'd also suggest creating a milestone on Wonderverse for the new season to increase the newsletter subscribers. Ekira mentioned that the IRL campaign, for some reason, have not been a good strategy for the newsletter. Hence, I think other marketing strategies should be integrated for audience growth.
