Agreed on the marketing approaches but would also think SN needs branding consistency.

I think this will get unlocked 10x when there's a bigger moderation parameter space, and different territories can really be different in a functional way. Will be interesting to see.

How would you know if you had success in a marketing campaign?

Yes @k00b mentioned eventually territory founders will be able to sell sub territories and sub sub territories and I would imagine retain some of the revenue those entities earn.

I hope they don't move too quickly on that. Making the territories profitable for founders shouldn't be the priority. I think if founders are looking at the big picture the potential growth and development of territories and SN more broadly is more important than covering the 100k sats a month. My hope is the rewards I earn by being active on SN each month will cover most of the cost of maintaining the territory. Territory revenue being a small part of that.

Let's see if we can round up a few other territory founders next week and we will takeover meta again and have a meeting of the minds. I would be interested in seeing how other founders are approaching this, what their expectations are, plans, how they will market it, do they want SN brand consistent marketing that all territories can use (like a customizable territory referral link for instance), or do people want to create their own marketing/branding. I think a lot of sub reddits have their own marketing (thinking of stuff like wall street bets) but reddit is much more established with a huge user base. Personally, I almost think SN needs to be the primary focus. Thinking of it as the "Town", while territories are places to visit when you come to "Town". Whereas the reddit subs are like towns of their own in a large state. Eventually hopefully SN grows into a state (not the state-haha) and our territories grow into towns but we are in the infant stage right now.
