ted (not lasso)

as someone who straight up asked @dwr for a job once and regularly gets tagged in “hire ted” casts or DCs i’m 10000% aligned with his take on focusing on product and not marketing for growth in fact, my POV is that it would be dumb AF to hire a marketing team right now what would they do? what would i do?

>dumb AF noted I'm pretty sure the common form would be like a low-key, as-close-to-public third place where good faith dialogue can be initiated w/ no transactional stakes. and somewhere along the line, word of mouth marketing which rules everything around us would take over, and there would be a third place conditioned for successive cohorts of onboarders. not sure why there's such full-throated disagreement about something as common as this. is there something offensive in how these "outer-curated" social subnetworks assimilate?

I understand everything, but I can’t imagine Farcaster without you. And I think you, @ted, is already doing a lot for FC to onboard people and keep/increase engagement here

I've been a practitioner in the industry for 20+ years and I agree with this take 100%. Lauding the choices he/they are making around sustainable, organic, product focused audience recruitment and retention. Anyone that thinks "marketing" and/or "advertising" would be helpful, doesn't understand how either/both work.

Maybe not a marketer, but I really feel like they could use a better person to manage communications. Sometimes the comms out of the team are very ... terse.

you’re already doing the job, why would they pay you for it? I don’t mean that in a bad way. if @dwr @v and team can keep building products that get people so excited they do the outreach, the white glove, the demos/tutorials, and pull features out of them, def no need to add overhead.

Think marketing, but not traditional! What if that extra body (maybe you @ted ) could ; ✅ Run onboarding sessions ✅ Collect more product feedback ✅ Make everyone feel heard and part of the community ✅ Try out other products and provide feedback Mostly this is categorized under "Product Marketing" Also I see you doing this on a day-to-day basis for Farcaster and other products anyways!! This could be a perfect role, no?

it's bloomy !! 🌸

what farcaster needs rn is a shareable form of content that can only be seen on fc instagram blew up bc everyone's like "where'd you get the photo filter" tiktok: logo-attributed downloadable videos twitter: funny screenshots that go everywhere and show the culture what's fc's "thing" that people will want off it?

Totally agree with @dwr! Focusing on product over marketing is the way to go. 🚀

Only reason I think there should be "some" marketing is I this is the best social media I've been on and I found it completely by chance. It has changed my life, made me embrace crypto and I want more people to have the same experience.

They are in a position they can focus on product and they should do just that. Make it a diamond then market it.

I mean... you would be doing what you are doing now. 🤷‍♀️ It's just that now tipping coins are paying you instead of Warpcast.

You need to prefect the product before thinking of marketing You can’t market a half baked product You’d end up losing both the users and the product in the process
