I sent 60,000 sats today as a test…
Here’s what happened, what I learned, and what I want to test next:
First off, I’m new to nostr, but things here excite me - I want to experiment, connect, and build.
In the last 24 hours I sent:
-199 zaps
- 60,000 sats
- Average of 301 sats per zap
- Second most sats zapped on the day
What happened:
- Gained 87 new followers
- Cost per follow 689 sats (~$0.65)
- Super high signal followers (people building on Nostr, Founders, etc.)
After doing a bit of research, it appears follower campaigns on X average around $1-2 per follow 🤷
I decided to mainly use “testing something…” as the text that goes along with the zap… not super direct, but was hoping that it was enough to peak curiosity…
I almost decided to go with “quick question” which probably would have performed better, but also pissed more people off at the same time…
That’s another thing I noticed, there is definitely a % of users who really hate all things related to this zap-vertising concept.
My next test:
Today I zapped 199 total zaps with an average of 301 sats per zap.
Now, I want to try sending several thousand zaps, with an average sats per zap around 10 or so…
We’ll see how it goes 🫡
