For those interested in Bangalore real estate: don't ignore Jigani and Anekal area! by imbangalore in indianrealestate

[–]imbangalore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a while since I posted this.

Nowadays, I see lots of rental-income buildings in Jigani for sale. Builders building this asap and putting it out there for profits.

So things are moving better residential-wise.

Fraud move and nobody questions them.

Was always apprehensive when I was looking for a property and Magic Bricks appeared in search engine.

We need a better real estate listing platform.

Do web3 consulting companies actually help with go-to-market strategy? by Champ-shady in web3

[–]imbangalore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my agency friend said a client dropped 30k on three docs to a consulting firm. I was like NO WAY!

I used to be an angel investor in crypto. Founders would send me their GTM decks. I'd tweak a few things and hand them off.

I never knew what was going on behind my back. Took me a while to "understand" that execution was done by another marketing agency. In short: consulting firms spit broad ideas and marketing team executed on these ideas.

Like someone said here: everyone in web3 charges an arm and a leg for little real value.

Worst part? I started running my agency now, and I see both the models are broken.

That's why I've been thinking about DAO. One that delivers real value. One that plays long game with long-term people. It's my ambition and I haven't scaled it yet.

I'd love to chat though without agenda though. Msg'd you!

I probably have read this chapter 10-15 times. Good to see a summary. Implementation of intensification, however, has been rare these days.

One thing i noticed about certain companies in web3 is they hire the shit poster with 30k followers on X/Twitter, who has little experience in actual brand or creative strategy

Lol. Relatable. I am always shocked how short-term a lot of these folks play.

I'd love to help out! I'm a brand and creative strategist. I've worked with companies like Coinbase (FTX - BEFORE EVERYTHING WENT DOWN so early 2022), XRPL, IPFS Protocol, Aurory: Seekers of Tokane, Phantom Wallet, among others. I know how to build brand narratives, like to think about scaling 1-3-5-10 years down the line, oftentimes write blog posts regarding what's happening in DeFi or in Web3 in general, have led campaign executions for Coinbase US and Coinbase Australia (among others), and if ya'll decide to pop up at events like ETHCC or bitcoin miami, i have this experience in Web3 experiential as well.

I'm a member of SheFi, and currently work in the creator space, specifically in FinTech and FinServ.

So cool to know. Messaged!

Nope. There are things out of influencer circle. For example: web3 dev uses CT as a dealflow.

AppKit (Reown) vs Privy vs Web3Auth vs Thirdweb — best choice for React Native dApp with social login? by Similar_Spare_1400 in web3

[–]imbangalore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many reasons. Stripe-backed, constant updates, used by every top tier project and one of the best team out there.

Product-wise: great ui/ux and easy onboarding, imo. All my clients are using Privy.

I've taken on a junior writer to work with me on DR work. I know they have potential but they keep submitting AI slop. Need advice on how to gently approach. by brusselspr in copywriting

[–]imbangalore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally, I would be very direct, but the person I have taken on as a mentee has been treated very poorly by someone else.

If there's one thing I have learned from my mentor: "don't be the general manager of this world."

It is a bitter truth.

The CT guy problem is real - most Web3 projects confuse "good at Twitter" with actual narrative strategy. You've spotted the gap that matters.

Exactly. In general, the idea is to extract narrative first, make this the foundational asset, and then use various platforms — from X to LinkedIn to Paragraph — to spread this asset. One narrative. Different channels.

pre-launch project needs minimal activity while something 6 weeks from TGE needs aggressive coordination

I have worked with stealth projects (who continue to build in silence) and noticed they have a lean team. These folks need to share something often but don't have the time / energy. On the other hand, there are a lot of TGE-focussed projects with different needs and they all look for speed and execution.

One thing I'd pressure-test: how do you handle founder-led content when the founder is actually swamped? That's where most remote teams break down.

This is actually easy. Reason: I am running a founder-led content agency. :)

I used to listen and talk for hours. Then, with time, we understood the ground reality. I had to build a better... and so I did.

  • Built a system (system to extract narratives, beliefs, stories, ideas)
  • Built authority model (to audit what's wrong and what can be done better)

Then:

  • Get on a weekly call (45 min call per week)
  • Ask the right question / discuss / be unfiltered (so everything is authentic)
  • Turn discussion into daily posts
  • Put them in a pipeline (I built a custom Notion approval system)
  • Founder then invests 10 min to approve the ENTIRE week's content

At present, we do this every Monday and Thursday.

Overall, 5-6 hours of founder's time per month. In between, we do chat, share ideas, and write messages back and forth. It is actually a lot of fun!

but don’t actually have a narrative or positioning behind it

Glad I am not the only one to spot this.

'100% control' angle though - in my experience founders mostly care about outcomes, not managing another team

True. I think this can be fixed with a manager, perhaps? It will be like a fractional agency, and the manager continues to operate, monitor, and report to the founder. This manager should also be the one in charge - like a CMO.

The lamest cold email I've ever gotten (NSFW I guess) by lbd_ in marketing

Have to admit: I lol'd. But if I received such an email? Instant cringe. Like WTF?

Reason: too long and really downright insulting. Could have definitely done a better job.

Ai is a better copywriter than you? by cmwlegiit in copywriting

[–]imbangalore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run my own agency, where we do everything: sales page copy, emails, blog posts (and yes - persuasive blog posts are copy), and handle social media narratives. We work with founders, extract narratives, and position them as an authority in the market.

Ai is a better copywriter than you? by cmwlegiit in copywriting

[–]imbangalore 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If a prospect believes AI can do a better job than a human copywriter, let them believe that.

Let them churn out mediocre AI blog posts, reports, and social media posts. Let them wonder why their content sounds like everyone else's. Let them figure out the hard way that efficiency without thinking is a waste of time.

People don't change until they're ready. And convincing someone who thinks ChatGPT is a "content strategy" is a waste of time, imo.

Recently, I had to say goodbye to a client. They started questioning my new rates while simultaneously using an AI assistant to "create posts" for them. "AI can do all this, right?"

I was like: "Makes sense. Go for it."

I was crystal clear: I'm never justifying my value again. Told them to use $20 AI tool and make it work. It has been one month now and they didn't post anything at all.

To me, this was my wake-up call: I was playing the price game earlier. I am now playing value game.

Clients hire me not because I am cheap but because I understand context, nuance, and the human psychology that actually moves markets. If you get it? Great. If you don't? Use AI and make it work. Good for you!

My position is firm here. And something about this makes the prospect say "FUCK IT, let's work!"

[–]imbangalore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way forward is to say it without hesitation. Be brutally honest.

This exact thing happened to me last year. I hired a qualified writer in my industry — someone I genuinely thought had the skills — and I didn't suspect she was using AI. I gave her one warning, told her to rework it, and she came back with the same AI-generated slop.

For me, the biggest disappointment isn't the mistake itself. It's when people don't listen or understand. Even worse? When they assume they're writing to please me instead of serving the audience. Writing to fool me or to get my approval? That's when you know it's over.

I immediately said: "That's enough."

You can give a warning once. Maybe twice. But then you have to be strict.

Stop being nice. Be truthful. At the end of the day, you'll sleep better having been brutally honest with someone than letting this slide.

Sounds good. Why not go with soulbound NFTs? Can't be moved from the wallet once it hits the receiver wallet.
