Conferences are kind of a waste imo. Thats why im changing how wer approaching them a bit so we dont go there with just hopes of someone seeing us.
Im going to the upcoming one with arranged talks with every single major investor present at the conference.
So if done in Ireland, arrange the talks beforehand and have something to sell.
For 100K a year i will spend 40 hours a week
Wouldnt we all. :)
It depends on if we are looking for devs or trying to get users. We obviously need both but while i could talk to users it takes a dev to talk to a dev as we have no idea what they need or how to sell it to them.
Hive is for devs. Apps are for users so if i went to promote hive it would need to have nothing to do with hive. I would need to be selling splinterlands, peakd or inleo. They are the only two apps we have here that are user ready right now.
Hopefully your new approach pays off as we need more user ready apps to promote to the wider world.
Its very hard to develop precise funnels for each of these targets, i know.
But say we decide, ok, "we need devs".
What do you do? Well you can find a dev and talk to him. Will that achieve anything? 99% it wont do anything because you have nothing to offer him. Do you have a job for him? How about some grant money? Will we tell him: Oh, come build here its great. Hive is great but if you have nothing to offer him its a waste of time.
Ill try this new approach, ill be selling VSC and HBD through it. It has a very specific path for investors to complete and answers all questions of what, how and why.
Maybe I fail (we get some of our money back if i do fail) but I find it a better fit than just showing up and waving Hive flags.
It's good that you think conferences are a waste by the way as your voice might travel further in the position you are in.
Im changing the approach right now. Maybe this wont work either but im not a big fan of waving our Hive flags and thinking that because we showed up people will buy Hive.
Ill know in a month if it did work. If it does, it will set the precedent for further conferences.
Well this approach does sound much better than the current system. Best of luck Butterfly Lord.
Don't forget to show proof of purchase for everything. Since you haven't done so at all and act like child when asked about it.
