You guys are doing great! Building exposure on instagram is a whole other level, more sensitive rather than on telegram and twitter 😅 ---

Thanks for report. If I counted correctly, this month there has been this amount of news? Total:64 @auroraisnearnews - 194 (26 posts), @trending.aurora - 186 (38 posts) ---

Yes, correct. Unfortunately there wasn’t much news so the amount is low on @auroraisnearnews . However we intend to cover it up within this month including November’s posts. Total would be 160+ posts by end of the month on each account 😇🙏 ---

Thanks for the words Dery, means a lot. Highly grateful that you appreciate and understand the difference of running web3 media on Instagram and other platforms. ---

hi, thank you for your work! it’s not easy to maintain IG for web3 - that’s right and the number after calculation of KPI show us the same - it’s very difficult job that you’re doing ![Screen Shot 2022-11-08 at 06.31.04](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/2X/2/21d2aa0986406a863582ba89d57a0bd86c788e39.png) for AuroraDAO it’s also quite expensive to perform such an experiment paying 15$ per person while all of us know - for this sum anyone can by thousands of bots)) so I would like to offer you to leave one channel (from 2) and to put there all the efforts. also I’ve studied the document with IG-influencers that you’ve prepared, and here one more conclusion/proposal: can you create one more list there and find the channels/accounts that are medium size by the number of followers? but where we can see the Life of real live people, who’re commenting and liking in adequate proportion to the numbers in its group. it can be communities from other blockchains, or people who’re in crypto, they have different channels (not only Instagram) and everywhere they don’t have 100k of bots, but up to 20-30-50k of living members. how it can reflect on budget: we’ll leave you 500usd for graphics and management, plus 400-500usd for giveaways and collaborations @ell what is your point of view on it, could you share it here, please? ---

> [@johanga](#): > > it’s not easy to maintain IG for web3 - that’s right > and the number after calculation of KPI show us the same - it’s very difficult job that you’re doing Hi @johanga , Thanks for acknowledging our work. Let me go comment by comment. First with the correction in calculation of followers/funds spent. It should be like this according to the calculation by our previous reports 🙂 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aurora/original/2X/c/cd731763aca17ad21f80409d16cabb833241f506.jpeg) > [@johanga](#): > > for AuroraDAO it’s also quite expensive to perform such an experiment paying 15$ per person > while all of us know - for this sum anyone can by thousands of bots)) First if all, we are not using any bot or anything that brings bot followers, as I always say, we are trying to grow organically. Earlier the growth was slow I agree but if you see in report, with the help of AMAs we grew about 50% and I believe we will grow more organically in upcoming months with AMAs. Now if you please recalculate, There is a drastic drop of $ per user in October from September. Specially in @trending.aurora which makes the overall cost ~9.5 I won’t talk with just followers here but the reach and impressions we got by running these accounts. I won’t target any other guilds but some of them having 2-3k followers on twitter and still gets hardly 8-10 likes while we have better engagement that too on Instagram. The $ per cost for those guilds will seem low by calculation but the engagement shows the reality. > [@johanga](#): > > so I would like to offer you to leave one channel (from 2) and to put there all the efforts. We had our first original proposal for 4 accounts which we reduced to two based on @ell ’s suggestion and experience. Both accounts have different type of design and purpose. Also speaking by experience it helps to diversify the content within audience and reachable more. > [@johanga](#): > > can you create one more list there and find the channels/accounts that are medium size by the number of followers? but where we can see the Life of real live people, who’re commenting and liking in adequate proportion to the numbers in its group. > it can be communities from other blockchains, or people who’re in crypto, they have different channels (not only Instagram) and everywhere they don’t have 100k of bots, but up to 20-30-50k of living members. Sure, I can create another list of crypto communities on Instagram and other socials. The one I shared were some premium influencers which have verified tick on Instagram. Some of them were mid size influencers with medium followers. Anyways, I will share another as you proposed. 🙏 I would appreciate if you let us run as we did and AMAs in addition for another month or two to see that we will be able to get good number of real active users on our platform. Just the two AMAs in last weeks of October increased the members to 50%. If we don’t get good results, We would surely reconsider the budget. I would love to hear @ell ’s views here because the budget we were having was basic since the start after his suggestion. Thanks! ---

it’s great that you have your own calculations!! so happy to see that! > [@zubairansari07](#): > > It should be like this according to the calculation by our previous reports 🙂 nevertheless, what I’ve shown to you has passed Ell’s execution and I won’t argue with him 😊 > [@zubairansari07](#): > > I will share another as you proposed. 🙏 thanks! i hope it will give better results, while I was exploring those premium influencers this idea came as a solution, let’s check it my support is with you and on your side in every sentence here 💚 ---

> [@johanga](#): > > I won’t argue with him Please don’t take me wrong, I am not saying to argue. I just calculated based on monthly budget/followers in that month. So sorry if it sounded wrong. 🙏 > [@johanga](#): > > while I was exploring those premium influencers this idea came as a solution, let’s check it Really appreciate the idea, I agree with this solution.
