Retroactive tip request for retro posters
a year ago
Executed
GM, I am requesting 45 DOT (5 DOT each) for nine retroactive posters I created and published on X in March 2024.
On average, each post have: ~3k Impressions ~70 Likes ~10 retweets.
I spent between 1 and 3 hours to create each poster.
The process was basically:
- Figuring out the theme and slogans.
- Experimenting on midjourney to create images.
- Getting everything together on PS with final touches (and mixing multiple AI generated images for some of them).

Cool. I was wondering how you would value this single tweet as of this writing (4,614 Views, 25 reposts, 93 likes):

Video requires more production, is funnier (but less informative), but might be more memorable because its funny.
Its so sad that these posters only get 3K views.
I believe content like these should be part of a Twitter ads campaign, to not have 1K-5K views but like 1MM views (which cost $500-1000). See 324 and #577 which was systematically rejected as being "too much money" or something "we don't know the ROI for this". Part of the issue is the word "Ad", which makes people cringe, and the fact that its not organic. But your posters are very ad-like.
It would cool to compensate people a going rate of $x per thousand views for "organic".
45 DOT*$5 DOT/(9 posters*3K)=$8.33 CPM
By the above math

would be "worth" paying $38.43.
Very curious about your thoughts about it.

KPI's: Honestly, I have no idea about KPI calculations, and I dont really believe you can measure KPI / ROI on these content pieces — simply because they are timeless. One piece of content can go viral 6 months after its posted, so I dont think there is an objective way to measure and create a standard rating for these type of things.
How did I value my own posts: I thought a lot about how much DOT I should request for this. There are still people saying I could get much more payment for these posts from other venues such as WagMedia. But here is my completely honest thinking process:
1 — I thought about calcualting the time I spent for the task and bill it from my current hourly rate, which would make something around 1000 USD (inc. tax), this would create a massive drama and I dont have enough bandwith to deal with it.
2 — At this point I decided to ask DOT and just simply hold it instead of asking USD to offramp.
3— I considered asking 10 DOT for each post as well as 2 DOT for each post. I was actually really close to asking 2 for each but I said this is too little to myself (it doesnt even cover the monthly software costs that I used) and just went with the average of both numbers that were on my mind.
As you can see I have zero analytical process in deciding the value of the posts, I know people like to play with numbers but I approached more emotionally and thinking more about how much social pressure I can get.
Even now there are people saying these worth much less, but its easier to handle :)
As for THE DOTS account question: I honestly have no idea. I personally really enjoy the content of that account, but someone knows about marketing more than me should answer this question.
