Each month I release a Free Digital Magazine. It's called Bitesize Bitcoin Magazine.
Usually, I would release it to my (not really mine) small centrally controlled algorithmic audience on LinkedIn & Twitter. Although, I'm committed to #21DaysOfNostr this month along with a first time release on Stacker News.
This could be a make or break moment for where I publicise the magazine because it needs reach. I've been advised not to focus on Nostr because 'I was told' it hasn't got the same reach as centralised platforms.
The problem I have is that Nostr represents the magazines philosophy. Albeit we are still trying to figure out the tools we should use to show: individualism, self-sovereignty and decentralisation in our work. It's clear this platform should be considered.
Our 'record' (so far) for reach on those centralised platforms is 75 reactions, 21 comments & 9 reposts. This post represents our 4th issue so it's very new. We currently work with 7 Bitcoin only businesses who advertise for free. And we have 2 more joining us for next months issue. They're a mixture of start ups and established businesses.
Also, I'm not sure how this happened but we have managed to become official media partners to BTCPAY Day in Riga at the end of this month. Which I'm still coming to terms with. We are on their website and everything. Thanks Pav for arranging that!
I built the magazine after attending a Bitcoin conference hosted by Bitcoin Magazine. And it left a bad taste in my mouth.
My thoughts were "Why market yourself as a Bitcoin conference, if you are going to promote fiat instruments, shitcoins and other projects that would mislead any new comers to the space - as well as confusing plebs?"
In my mind, it's clear that the idea of the conference is to create confusion and division because, traditionally, this is what makes money - money backed by decree - fiat money. It's how the Rothschild built their dynasty. Making money on both sides of a war that they created. A method that continues to be successful in modern politics too.
We don't need more division - we are stronger together.
The establishment knows we are weaker divided.
I haven't built this magazine on my own, it has contributions from some very talented writers. I've made sure that their Lightning Wallets are published with the article they have contributed. It's a value 4 value relationship.
Here's the link to the website and latest issue: https://www.bitesizebitcoin.xyz/issue-no04
Please, Please let me know what you think because the feedback is what makes it better! Both Negative and Positive. It's all love and lessons!
The mission is to get the magazine into all the bitcoin meet ups and events across the globe.
Thanks for sharing! We Stackers generally recieve Bitcoin only content very well. I wish you all the best in your endeavours! You seem to be leading it on the right track. I'll check the magazine and will be back.

Thanks for sharing! Well done! Articles in the magazine are quite intriguing.
I think you should keep pushing your magazine on Nostr as well. Nostr is new and it will give you an edge once crowds follow there.
Your thoughts on bitcoin conference are just the same as mine. It wasn't anywhere close to conference, it became an election campaign rather.

Thanks for that feedback! It helps so much. I've made sure that the articles in the magazine have the author and their Lightning wallet attached at the end of each article. So if you like something they've written.. contribute because I just bring the mag together - they create the amazing content .
