IDEAS FOR SONGS
The songs start with ideas (or sometimes they don’t, haha).
One task that would be helpful is collecting any and all ideas that people propose for songs in a big spreadsheet, including who suggested what and when. Often I’ll say “What should my song be about?” on Tiwtter. This is engagement farming, but often I’ll take some ideas from there. Would be nice to have them all in one place. ALSO: It’s important to note if an “influencer” made the suggestion, as then, if I do it, they’ll retweet it for more eyeballs.
THE SONG
There’s not a whole lot anyone can help me with on this front, at least not on a regular basis. I’d love to do collabs with members, but that is a lot of added work, and requires it’s own set of planning and logistics!
THE VIDEO
Putting the song with the video is pretty intimately tired together for me, so I think this is another one I’d have to do.
SUBTITLES
I’ve noticed that videos with subtitles do better on Twitter, so I’ve tried to make sure I do this. This is definitely something someone with some Premiere editing skills could take on.
Upload to youtube
I think there’s a way to give “team” access to youtube, so this could be offloaded, i think!
Entering Traits Into Spreadsheet
I have to do this one myself, as it’s a lot of judgment calls and ultimately I know what instruments, mood, location etc.
Creating metadata
Raid Guild created the Song A Day ToolKit to make metadata generation, minting and auctioning easy.
It begins with entering the traits from the spreadsheet here, and then it generates the image.
Someone else could totally be doing this, the only issue is that I am running this toolkit locally, so they’d have to have al little command line knowledge to get it up and running.
Upload to ipfs
Again, someone else who has the toolkit up and running could do this part. You upload the image, the video, put those hashes with the song number below, upload the attributes from the last step and then it all gets uploaded to IPFS and the metadata hash you get is what we mint on the next page.
Minting
Right now, I am minting through the Gnosis address, so technically anyone who is a signer of that should be able to do this part. It’s a little wonky and doesn’t work every time (sometimes you have to disconnect both gnosis and the toolkit, reconnect and then it works).
Starting the auction
Same thing, this is done with the gnosis wallet. Someone could totally do this, and it would be helpful to have someone do it esp if we have it set to end at a time when I’m asleep (China friendly ending).
Bonus: YouTube Thumbnail
Not to be confused with the illustration, I think if someone wanted to take on the task of making a good YouTube Thumbnail everyday, we could really up the views on the videos. There’s a whole art to the YT thumbnail thing, a lot of it having to do with click-baity type things. It’s never been something I’ve felt like spending time on, but if there’s somoone in the dao with the skills and desire, it could be really helpful.
Marketing
@boris has a post up about possible ideas of how to take some of the pressure off me doing this. But I do have a pretty sizeable twitter follwing, so it does make senes for me to push it there as much as possible
