Description

I am excited to present my grant proposal for a marketing campaign that mostly consist of a video (mockups at the end) aimed at attracting NFT communities to Decentraland and encouraging them to start selling NFTs within the platform using the no-code tool DG Live, the builder, SDK and pre-made builds (I'm going to use the ones created by Mr. Dhingia). The motivation behind this is the theory that brands may want to create their own NFT stores in Decentraland if they don't have to code almost anything and they can accept $ICE as a payment method. Why putting focus on $ICE? Because Decentral Games Poker players are earning this token 24/7 and they can spend it on DG or in... NFT stores! The content of the video consists on: a) Why an NFT project should start selling on Decentraland b) Where they should publish (DCL Worlds, land (bought/rented)) c) How to create the store using the builder d) How to move the store from the builder to the SDK e) How to add DG Live f) How to configure the store using DG Live and accept $ICE, Coinbase/Binance payments and credit card g) How to deploy (both Genesis City and Worlds) The video production process has been underway for the past two weeks, during which I have dedicated my time and efforts to create visually stunning animations using After Effects. The script has been carefully crafted to ensure it is easily understandable by individuals with varying levels of technical knowledge. Moreover, to streamline the store creation process, I have taken the initiative to make Mr. Dhingia Builds (https://unversed.org/wiki/misc/mrdhingia-dhingia-builds/) easily downloadable from my website (with his permission), accompanied by a promotional video to raise awareness (https://twitter.com/unversed_EN/status/1664278130075504643). I firmly believe that my previous work on Decentraland has demonstrated its value to the platform, and I am confident that this video will be no exception. To access my previous work, kindly visit https://youtube.com/TobikCC. You can see that some of those videos (like the VR one) are being actively watched and recommended by the developers. While I am committed to completing the video regardless, I kindly request financial support to compensate for the considerable time and effort invested in this project. The return on investment for this video is expected to be high, and such support would serve as both motivation for me to continue creating valuable content. In fact, a big portion of this money will be re-invested on upgrading my setup. Relevant links: Mockups for this video (NOT FINAL RESULT): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFeM7M1EV0g Videos I made for DCL brands and foundation: https://tobik.cc/portfolio/ DISCLAIMER: I'm uploading this grant as a content creator, this has nothing to do with my position at the DAO COMMITTEE.

There was some delay in the process of making this video. This was communicated to the GSS. The money is still untouched and won't be touched until everything is uploaded. Please check the updates I'm doing on Discord. The video is expected to be finished this week before Ethereum Argentina.

Niceee!! Will be waiting for it :D

TobikJul 07, 2023

Working on it. It has many parts so it's taking time. I also will release documentation. ![image|243x500](upload://85iGFpYKi0SSk2ppBe7AfqewgFm.png)

That's really a shame.

Hello. Cool! Tell your friend to do DCL content. Regards, Tobik.

One could argue that this should have been included in the original DG Live grant for the product. But whether the DAO pays DG Live so that they can pay Tobik to do this, or if the DAO pays Tobik directly, doesnt really matter right? At the end of the day, its valuable content at a fair price so this is a yes vote from me.

AaronLeuppJun 13, 2023

Just spent like 28 hours with Tobik and the team learning what this is and how to do it. I now understand it more and think will be very valabue for there to be a video to explain all this since i had to learn to code and everything and if I didn't have them guiding me through it, it would have been impossible. I am a visual learner and this will help way more people. I also think will help people sell things in world which i think massive utility in Decentraland. So again I am changing my vote to yes because he promosed that not only ICE can be used but also MANA and Waifumon. Look forward to this. ![Screen_Shot_2023-06-09_at_3|501x376](upload://tpMcLr3c18LReqIRg1s1TzCQqp0.png)

Hello. It's not a video about DG Live only. It's a video with a specific goal: make NFT brands sell here. And no, I won't take money from a product which is already expensive to develop. In addition to this, once the e-commerce integration with Woocommerce, Magento and Shopify is done, the DAO will get a 30% lifetime of all the earnings when a player buys inside DCL. I think the DAO should want brands to use this service since it's another entry for money. Tobik.

You desire to get paid to make a promotional video for DG Live? Ask DG Live for the funds not the DAO.

TobikJun 08, 2023

Thanks a lot, Maryana! Appreciate the support and hope to meet the expectations :yellow_heart:

maryanaJun 07, 2023

Voting Yes. Tobik has proven to make high quality videos for many projects within Decentraland as well as his own brand. I hope to see value add from these videos to further educate on how the DG live tool operates, as this may help onboard more users and companies to discover and implement the tool. Best of luck!

TobikJun 04, 2023

Damn that's another level 😂

InJesterrJun 04, 2023

Yes and tbh dutch, belgium, luxembourg & german is very unnecessary because 90% of the people here speak english very well 🤷🏻‍♂️

jar0dJun 04, 2023

Where does your Proposal mention that you work for DG Live? I can’t seem to see it. ![liar|447x150](upload://yrS9xJPwa1wYi0wR6DsQmn4rDYJ.jpeg)

TobikJun 04, 2023

Haha thanks. I can send you the script auto-translated and you approve it 😂

InJesterrJun 04, 2023

I’ll help tobik to translate the video in two languages if it passes 1 in turkish, 1 in dutch for free :slight_smile:

jar0dJun 04, 2023

[quote="Tobik, post:16, topic:19426"] Then, the video is not a commercial. [/quote] [quote="dao, post:1, topic:19426"] I am excited to present my grant proposal for a marketing campaign [/quote] It's a Marketing Campaign for DG Live. That's literally what you called it in the opening sentence of your description.

TobikJun 04, 2023

Hello, Canessa. I think you should take a look at the video edition I'm aiming for, the content, and the value it will bring to Decentraland. If NFT stores can sell here and they bring players, $3k is a small amount to invest in a campaign like this. And again, it's not like I will release the video and that's all. You can see how I already have been creating side content to make this process easier on my website (https://twitter.com/unversed_EN/status/1664278130075504643). The video is the focus but is actually closer to a marketing campaign to make people sell their stuff here. I will traduce to multiple languages, and as I've mentioned before, I will create short-form content to redirect people from other social media to the main video. Tobik P.S: please take a look at my YT channel.

CanessaJun 04, 2023

$3000 for one video is too high in my opinion.

TobikJun 04, 2023

Hello, Jar0d. [quote="jar0d, post:14, topic:19426"] First understand something, DG, as in Decentral Games, has nothing to do with this product other than it being created by someone who over invested in DG at the top and feels they have a right to use the trademark however they see fit i the from of @0xgabe [/quote] This is not correct. Decentral Games and DG Live have a relationship, it's not like DG Live took the brand without asking. Today, Decentral Games is a partner of DG Live. [quote="jar0d, post:14, topic:19426"] Second, how on earth does the DCL DAO Paying tobik to make a commercial for Gabe’s product benefit the community? [/quote] My video benefits Decentraland as a whole. Currently, the cost of selling NFTs and managing a store in Decentraland is very high for some NFT brands. With this video, brands will be able to deploy their stores here faster and cheaper, attracting a nice sum of players. Then, the video is not a commercial. It's a tutorial with a specific goal: sell your NFTs in Decentraland and accept different payment methods without needing to be a developer. The video includes explanations on LAND, Worlds (what to choose) and other general concepts that brands may want to know. As if this were not enough, the new integration that DG Live is developing (the one made to sell IRL products with Woocommerce, Shopify and Magento) will give 20% of the earnings lifetime to the DAO. That's another revenue for the DAO. Tobik.

Hello, Existential14. Thanks for commenting and providing your votes. First, I don't know why being a DAO COMMITTEE member blocks me from the possibility of creating content and getting money from the DAO. In fact, I'm using the same method that anyone else can use, therefore, where is the sketchy thing? I don't see it. If this proves anything, is that aside of my position on the DAO, I'm still a community member that doesn't have any special treatment and has to use the mechanisms that apply for everyone. Question 1: as far as I know, there is not available a no-code way of selling NFTs and managing your store with metrics in Decentraland. If you know one, please let me know. Question 2: yeah, I plan to subtitle the video to Spanish. Later, I can create multiple translations using AI tools. Thanks!

Existential14Jun 04, 2023

First I am a little on the fence with a "Committee Member" requesting a grant as but have not made a complete decision on that point as of yet. This is also unattractive with all the DG talk however; I do see your point with it's popularity and will take your word on the ease of use. Question 1: Will you advise the viewers of other methods that they could research on their own other than DG live should they wish? Question 2: Will there be a transcript and a translation into multiple languages. I think this would be very important as there are many new communities popping up? Israel, Germany, Turkey, Arabia, etc. If those questions can be answered I would most certainly vote yes. With Decentral Games doing the collabs they have been doing with NFT projects not necessarily ones inside DCL, this could be a great way for them to also offer their NFTs for sale or their holders to sell them.
