Overview:

Title: talentDAO’s Newsletter of Decentralized Work

Cadence: bi-weekly

Platform: Substack

Release day:  Saturdays, starting 2/12/2022

Audience: data-oriented Web3 native and Web3 curious.

Focus/positioning: there’s A LOT of DAO/Web3 content out there and ventures that are already doing a pretty good job aggregating it (for example BanklessDAO’s weekly State of DAOs). What’s missing in the space is a more targeted publication that focuses on data-driven content. In the long run, we can create a newsletter that’s fully based on talentDAO-created content, but right now, we probably want to feature/aggregate content from other sources as well.

Revenue model: free. Not selling subscriptions or ads at the moment. More of a way to create brand awareness, and create followership that may eventually convert to other talentDAO revenue-generating businesses.

Format:

The newsletter has 3 main sections:

  1. An in-line (not hyperlinked) editorial piece from a talentDAO community member. In our first edition, it’ll be a manifesto. Going forward we’ll keep a planned schedule of authors and subjects. Ideally showcasing a relevant research paper and explaining its implication in more down-to-earth terms.
  2. From the talentDAO community no more than 3 hyperlinked articles with a few sentences of in-line synopsis authored by members of the talentDAO community on topics that are aligned with the newsletter’s focus/positioning.
  3. Elsewhere in the Web no more than 5 hyperlinked articles/posts/twitter threads with a few sentences of in-line synopsis, curated by the talentDAO community.

Tone: primarily educational. In our editorial, we aim to explain research and concepts that are more academic to a general audience. We apply judgment in curating the links and help our readers separate the signal from the noise.
