I have some concerns regarding ROI/investments in the agency
Ive been checking on the Agency since I’ve noticed we spend a lot of money from the community on this department, Secret foundation not even included.
I am wondering how much money is being spend and how much hours this team works. Also who checks this?
I would like to see a list of the team with the hours being made since im noticing that the numbers/statistics look awfull, especially for a blockchain like this.
When is someone noted as Dev/lead/VC? It looks like this is just “assuming” that this is a dev or particular person. Next to that i think the focus needs to be on “actual” leads working/being active on the network. So not just “collected” and when looking at the closed investments it is “0”
VC Cold outreach: 407 ? I can walk to a random person to let them place their details and consider them a “VC lead”. 80% of them doesn’t even continue to engage. What is the ROI of this and who is handling this.
University partnerships: 72 ?do we have more info on this? Was this on events only? Who did this and what is the outcome ?
Also onboarded secret university users? What does that mean? Also what are we doing with secret university if agency is also doing this.
So returning on the fact that we are spending 55K+ per month(83.333 SCRT currently), on a team with statistics that are vague, I wonder if this is a good ROI.
Communities are practically dead on telegram and discord, I’ve noticed spam that stays there for days, just scrolling on the communities website on scrt.network, only a couple of the telegrams are active while this is being done by the community itself, Who manages this? 21% of the budget to International ??
Next to this, im reading Content creation:
YouTube views: with an average of 200-400 views per video…what are these kind of statistics, we can’t even get to a solid 1-2k views per video. I can pay a crypto/cosmos influencer 1k a month to get 5-10k views, instead we are paying people to create this without any good strategy. We can create a video, but without any reach its a waste of money… and to be fair, the editing/quality isn’t professional as well.
In the previous thread i see that:
Skrillah, Natalie and shahar are leading the VC’s and DAPPS, what do the other team members do??
I find it very vague and I want to see more transparency as well as people want to see in SF.
The agency is not a normal company, it’s a community effort ran by probably community enthusiasts. I want to see the same structure as we saw how the community were structured requesting budget from the pool. A clear line on what people are doing and getting paid.
I assume some people in this team are doing fine, but I cannot believe that all of them do and that you need this amount of people/money for the statistics I see now.
Also, AMA’s, events and other stuff related to lead generation can be seen as a discretionary pay and not as a job so that will save a bunch money as well.
Also I don’t understand the concept of doing universities with the agency and also having a separate entity (Secret University) exactly doing the same or at least a big chunk. Why spending this money twice.
International wise I also see the African channel is highlighted a lot, what is good ofc, but as I see that 22 Twitter spaces are held, I wonder how much people actually join those calls and are this always the same people or new.
As long as we don’t have enough funding I find it weird to spend this amount of money from the network creating this kind of selling pressure, having SCRT university, Secret Foundation and Agency all together and partly overlapping. Also since secret surge can cause a lot of selling pressure as well and had a big impact on the community pool.
And I’m wondering how much work the agency takes from the secret foundation work and do they work for SF as well or is this included in their pay, seeing a lot of things that are I thought meant for the foundation.
Seeing the excel sheet of Q4 I see discretionary budget is more than 10k, isn’t that enough to spend on small amounts of help from the local people to spread the news?
Also Agents? What are agents? Can I be an agent and get money for being that? Also, the agent platform is this dead or? And how much do we spend on that?
for coordinators and leads, what is the differents and who is on that list and why?
How many hours do people work and do they work full time, part time or task based? Getting 3 different groups isn’t going to make it much clearer, since a group can exist out of 30 people or 3… I’m investing heavily in SCRT, but we need a good structure for the project to survive.
Thanks already and hope to get some answers! We need to get the marketing better to include ourselves with the big boys!!
