Todo:

- Can we put fathom analytics in dap.ps?
- We want to get numbers + retain principles
- it gives a great value proposition to dapp projects
- Reach out to Jakubgs
- we need to have a better understanding of the trackable metrics about engagement
- https://metrics.status.im/d/gxQG_R1Zk/status-peers?orgId=1&refresh=15m
- Content Plan
- Begin working on the next series of content
- content plan can be found in here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OJnHBOrzBE5neZZCWyQeygjbyIM2p9584VOIYj7EL0U/edit?usp=sharing
- Dapp Outreach
- continue outreach to dapps projects
- goal is 45 dapps by the end of Q1
**Jonny**
-B2B Play / Marketing to dapp developers and founders
- First we need to target dapp developers in order to populate dap.ps. What campaign can we run to incentivize staking SNT?
- Continued BD outreach to dap dapps.
- what can we do to get partners excited (this is basically a b2b play):
- analytics on status usage and adoption
- simple explainer of the bonded curve (maybe a scenario)
- natural pathway for users to have and spend money (simple way to show VC’s that status provides a way for users to use and spend)
- produce a sales deck:
- what is the bonded curve
- analytics as a benefit to the dapps (how many users status has)
- deck design
-Paid b2b marketing:
- target founders with ads
- Status is where the users are (that is the value)
- look into code fund
End user plan:
- are people using dap.ps?
- how are we measuring if people are using this
- can we implement fathom and any sort of analytics (run by carl/jarrad too)
- what metrics do we have
- This is perhaps a Q2 initiative once we have dapps staked and available.
Content Plan
- Regular content pushing Status & dap.ps as a go to source for definition products
- Great for SEO - look into keywords for blog post writing
- Recaps of adoption of tools and dap.ps (analytics.status.im)
TODO:
- b2b sales deck
- content play to become authority in defi space
--
Sticker Market:
- community sticker packs - who do people contact to upload their stickers
- artist (also somewhat of a b2b play)
