I didn't even notice this job posting on the first of the month. Awesome position.

Can I make a suggestion? I think before any SN growth plan is created or executed, a fact finding mission needs to take place. Typically I would be more of a let's try a bunch of stuff out and see what sticks kind of guy but I think the community has brainstormed some great ideas about how to market and grow SN that can and should be tested out.

I am stuck on a few road blocks though.

Why don't more bitcoiners, who I consider low hanging fruit, use SN?
Why do so few new users seem to stick around and become regulars or power users?
Why don't popular Bitcoin content creators use SN more often? (btc_sessions and joenakamoto link their youtube videos occasionally and carlbmenger posts his blogs but you would think more would want to share their work on SN)
Why do people who do AMAs rarely seem to come back and become a user of SN?
Why do some power users on other platforms only use SN sporadically (I see a few regulars from nostr and bitcoin twitter that will pop in to participate in a sports contest but don't stick around and engage more broadly)
SN has changed a lot since the early days. How can we get early users who may have left due to lack of content they liked or engagement on their posts/comments to have a second look?

I think before creating a growth plan there would be value in figuring out the answers to these questions and what the current perception of SN is amongst people have tried it but didn't become regular users.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

This is an awesome job as/application method.

Just no bs, just pure content. god, if the rest of the labor market was like that

Gosh, I wish I were in a position where I could pursue something like this.

I'm happy to consult (or offer unsolicited advice) for free/V4V, though.

You guys already supply a literal avalanche of great ideas. I mostly need someone to riff and execute on them so I can vibe code more than part time.

I know, but I mean that I would love to be able to attempt diving into it full time. Not at all a practical arrangement for my family though, not to mention you'll surely find someone more qualified at a lower price.

I do fantasize about hiring an economist someday. Should that day come, I imagine you won't have any trouble with the qualifications part.

That is an exciting prospect. Let me know if you're even getting close to needing a part time consultant.

I could probably pull that off with a little advance notice.

I'll take it 😀 In case you don't get someone, tell me I'll work for whatever pay (or not pay). I don't know how to write a growth plan (I've just been a teacher) but I know I can get the job done while learning how to about it.

I assume "Grow SN" simply means onboarding new Stackers (people) and retaining them. If that's the goal, I'm 100% sure I can do it.
