Hey PIVians, Hawtch here!

The intention behind this April budget is to focus on promoting our new Gleam.io giveaways ($ for prizes, ads promoting it, and monthly subscription), increase efforts on VieFaucet + Tik Tok and other ad platforms + opportunities. Additionally, we would like to start giving PIV incentives to the community for translations and create merch.

For more info on past work + analytics, please see previous ad post with analytics.

NOTE: I am trying to make my proposals quicker. It takes far too much time to create these every month with the amount of info I include. Going forward I will be trying to keep it concise like this one. I will link previous proposals + work, and I intend to create a type of super proposal under the name 'PIVX Studio' (similar to Labs) where we can have all our info collectively.

Funding Breakdown (usd)

Gleam.io: $860

Viefaucet: $300

Tik Tok: $300

Ad Platforms: $500

Other: $540

Total Quote (usd): $2500 USD (14,000 PIV)

Gleam.io

Pro version: $60 USD

Giveaway Prize PIV: $800 USD

Gleam is a contest/giveaway platform that already has 10,000 participants in our first test giveaway. We think this could be a huge help getting PIVX out there. It allows for strict and highly customizable requirements to qualify for the giveaways.

VieFaucet

Pay to Click ads: $300 USD

We've seen great success in terms of getting views and eyes on our posts. We want to double (or more) our money spent now that we know how to be effective.

Tik Tok

Coins to Promote Posts: $300 USD

We (@Ellamell , @RedByrd and I) are creating Tik Toks that every day people would find entertaining, while still repping PIVX.
Tik Tok is one of the last platforms where real people interact and use frequently without bots everywhere. It's very bot-resistant and thus when you see response to promotion it's much more likely to be real people.

Ad Platforms

Targeted Banner Ads: $500 USD

With the 'To The Moon' Campaign starting, it is finally time to start using platforms like Coinzilla and Dot Audiences. We will be doing small posts and get larger.

Other ( Incentives, merch, new opportunities, etc)

Remaining Budget: $540 USD (Roughly)

We have already ordered some merch, which has partially come in. We will report more on this as we receive it. @RedByrd is the one heading this up. Incentives means paying translators or tipping people for helping us.

Remaining Budget (From Previous Ad Budgets)

$1390 USD

We currently have $1390 USD roughly remaining from previous budget proposals. It's our intention to use most of that to extend over a period of months when we may need it, and to use to help boost the 'To The Moon' campaign once it launches (this month).
