Thanks for the feedback, @BRONDER. I appreciate your support!
I’ve tuned down on the newsletter because I’ve received similar feedback before.
I believe we have a lot of sleeping V3 & V4 maxis on our email list. It’s a >7x ratio of subscribers of V5 depositors currently. The last newsletters had between 720-950 reads, so it feels worth exploring again. Please bear in mind it’s only 6 editions I’m aiming for, to see how the turnaround will be.
The newsletter alone might not show its effectiveness, although it can be a powerful piece in a content engine. It’s a great tool that can be used to extract different news pieces to expand on them (be it in articles or on social) or multiply the reach for existing content. A newsletter can help non (-regular) Discord users stay up to date with things that happen and is easy to track back from version to version if you’ve been out of the loop or new to the game. It’s also a great sell when engaging in partnerships.
We’re listing a KPI for “at least 3 publicly communicated partnerships”. We have a few in the pipeline but are limited in our execution until the vault fix comes along. You can find some partnerships we can officially talk about can be seen at the bottom of our deliverables list.
Based on feedback and discussions on our first RFC, we had to take out the budget for quests. These were a puzzle piece for a shared campaign with Rainbow and a second project. We’re still hoping to make these happen in Q2, if we can find a common ground.
This doesn’t mean we aren’t engaged in other partnership efforts - we want to ensure we don’t overpromise and fail expectations. We have a few sleeping beasts waiting to come out once the protocol is ready for takeoff.
Again, thanks for taking the time to engage! I hope this context can help to strengthen your support.
