Content Creators, DAOs, and Your Future (316)

Well, we didn't win the US Constitution…but this is going to be big. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here are the details. As you know from listening to this podcast, I've been covering quite a bit about DAOs and digital property rights for content creators. Most of the DAO (decentralized autonomous organizations) examples I've been sharing are for media companies and crypto projects. Well, here's one that really got me thinking. Last week, a group of investors and crypto enthusiasts launched ConstitutionDAO. Their goal? To buy the actual US constitution. Auction house Sotheby's auctioned it off last week. The estimated price was to go between $15 and $20 million dollars. ConstitutionDAO's goal was to purchase this version. They say: "We're buying the US Constitution. For the first time in thirty-three years, one of thirteen surviving copies of the Official Edition from the Constitutional Convention will be publicly auctioned by Sotheby's. It is the only copy that is still owned by private collectors. The proceeds from the auction will be given to a charity that has been established by the current owner." They had all kinds of plans for it, including giving this version to the Smithsonian Institute and then working out a plan to buy more US artifacts. Crazy, right? As you probably already know, they did not win. A private investor won the bid at around $43 million dollars. Unbelievable. ConstitutionDAO raised over $40 million in about a week and came up just short. It seems the private investor who won was a billionaire and was going to win it regardless. Probably was Bezos or something. Here's what ConstititionDAO stated on their Discord page: "We did not win the bid for the copy of the U.S. constitution. While this wasn't the outcome we hoped for, we still made history tonight with ConstitutionDAO. This is the largest crowdfund for a physical object that we are aware of—crypto or fiat. We are so incredibly grateful to have done this together with you all and are still in shock that we even got this far. Sotheby's has never worked with a DAO community before. We broke records for the most money crowdfunded in less than 72 hours. We have educated an entire cohort of people around the world – from museum curators and art directors to our grandmothers asking us what eth is when they read about us in the news – about the possibilities of web3. And, on the flip side, many of you have learned about what it means to steward an asset like the U.S. constitution across museums and collections, or watched an art auction for the first time. We had 17,437 donors, with a median donation size of $206.26. A significant percentage of these donations came from wallets that were initialized for the first time." I was part of the 17,000 plus who donated. To be honest, it was all very exciting. I knew people who actually flew out to see the auction live. Just a few months ago something like this would have been impossible, but now because of the blockchain and the token, groups of people can easily come together into a real business and govern themselves. Why am I telling you all this? Start thinking of the applications. Want to keep a historical structure in your town? Start a DAO. Want to buy a minor league baseball team? Start a DAO. Want to buy a bar with all your friends? Start a DAO. Now, there are all kinds of legal landmines here because, well, we know nothing about this new legal entity. That said, THIS is what the internet was built for. Now groups of people can more easily pool resources, own things, and self-govern. And maybe the best part about this, is the equitable approach. The Bankless blog and newsletter just wrote this – and I paraphrase "In the Web3 environment where anonymity is welcomed and encouraged, nothing about your background can be used to prevent you from jumping into a DAO, getting to work, and earning money. We absolutely cannot take this lightly. We have a real opportunity here: to find the human coordination solutions we have been seeking ever since humans first started walking upright. These solutions aren't just elegantly built atop code—they're our first real shot at a universally equitable work environment. An equitable work environment is where anyone can work for what they want to achieve because everyone has the same tools to do so. Ageism doesn't exist—want to be a governance leader at 16 or 75? Prove your talents and you're in. Geographic borders don't exist either. The DAO you want to join is halfway across the world? Come right in. The motherhood penalty—when women of childbearing years struggle to get promoted because they're a corporate "risk" if they have children—is not anywhere to be seen in a DAO. They pay and promote people based on work quality and nothing else. All right, back to me now. This IS something. We are just getting started. The token makes this possible. Do you feel like you never got to take advantage when the Internet was just getting started. Well, t

Build Faster with a Content Network (315)

I first started in content marketing back in 2000 at a business-to-business publishing company. At that time, we were selling clients, for the most part, custom magazines. The goals of the magazine were to build more loyal audiences with repeat purchases or for lead generation programs for prospects. I worked on projects with Autodesk and Agilent that were mind blowing (and effective). But not all our prospects had multi-million-dollar budgets. Also, many did not have large enough audiences to make the content effort worthwhile. A few years after I started, some of the leaders in our group had an idea for an educational effort around indoor air quality or IAQ. The topic was hot (no pun intended) at the time, and most of the manufacturers in the air conditioning industry were preaching about it. Why? Because their products were better at creating better air quality. Just think casinos before more advanced air filtration system was developed. Go to an older casino in downtown Las Vegas and then walk into a newer one. It hits you immediately (in more ways than one). Anyway, there were a number of smaller air conditioning players interested in the concept. They didn't have the budget or reach of the big players. So we worked with five smaller players on an ongoing content marketing program and created a content network. They pooled their money and reach and created an amazing project that helped to educate contractors and, in turn, their businesses. I love this model for smaller content creators. Look, if you have a large enough loyal audience, you don't need partnerships anymore. You don't need a content network. If you don't have reach, you have a choice. You can keep grinding it out, hoping to get to your minimum viable audience…or…you can build or join a content network. About a decade ago, Jerod Morris launched The Assembly Call, a publication dedicated to Indiana University basketball. The publication has grown steadily over the years and does an amazing job covering the team and surrounding concepts. Recently, with the rise of community tokens, Jerod wanted to create their own cryptocurrency on Rally.io (the same network as our $TILT coin). Rally believed that Jerod's reach wasn't big enough. So…Jerod contacted three other partners, and an ongoing sponsor, to create a larger network. This new network, called the Back Home Network, had a much larger fan base and was accepted by Rally, now going by $HOME coin. Let's look at your situation. Do you have a mission that is similar to other players in your market? Could there be a way that you could make a larger impact by joining forces instead of competing? If so, create the bigger vision and start your approach. The Tilt recently did this with our Content Entrepreneur research. When we started the survey process, we just didn't have the audience numbers to succeed alone, but we still needed to do it. A couple calls to Ann Handley, Brian Clark, Jason Miller, Chris Ducker and a sponsor, Libsyn, and we had our project. So why wait to create that project that needs to be completed now? Create a network and build faster. Good luck. ------- See all Content Inc episodes at the Content Inc. podcast home. Get more by subscribing to TheTilt.com newsletter.
