`getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [August 2023 update] (0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start. (0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post. (1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point. (2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ * (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.) (3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph. (4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible. (5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens. one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments. @jeanmi.lens : "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to 'GM'" It is quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. A few approaches to get more visibility: **[1]** @animators.lens started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks I’ve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @animators.lens ’ idea based on your talent and skills. **[2]** consider joining communities on @diversehq.lens (e.g. you can post directly to the @mixtape.lens feed, be active in the #lensfit community or join c/food) and/or communities on @orbapp.lens . **[3]** consider contributing content to the weekly @thisweekon.lens highlight series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x04 ) or other content threads. (Keep an eye on @ryanfox.lens ;-).) **[4]** consider participating in campaigns / events on lens or create an event (maybe check out #OPENLENS for reference). (If you plan to create something please feel free to reach out 🤍) **[5]** consider joining lens spaces on @buttrfly.lens . **[6]** @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy. `cover artists of the month` **TYSM** @eastie.lens for creating this beautiful getting started cover 🤍🙏. Collect is the #lens super power. The “getting started” post is a 333 limited edition (0.3 WMATIC with 50% mirror fee share, the collect fee goes 100% to the artists.) What does it mean? You can collect one of 333 available NFTs of @eastie.lens ‘ awesome artwork (and this post :-)). If you mirror the post and the post will be collected via your mirror, you will get 0.15 WMATIC. The revenue generated from the collect fee will go directly to the artists’ address. Is there any utility? Everyone who collects this post can suggest and vote on the next “getting started” cover artist. `advanced topics` **other mobile apps**: @converseapp.lens ( @xmtplabs.lens mobile messaging app), @lenstaxyz.lens image focused lens mobile app. **other browser apps**: @pinsta.lens pin lens content, create and publish pinsta boards. @beatsapp.lens music focused lens app. @focalize.lens browser extension for posting on lens. @youfolio.lens trading lens creator tokens. @dumpling.lens video platform on lens. @diversehq.lens Reddit inspired lens app. @collectz.lens amazing app to share what you’ve collected and what’s for sale (eg https://collectz.xyz/u/cavernaeremita/forsale ). @lenspeer.lens social media platform supporting ERC-6551 wallets. @buttrfly.lens for web. **video**: @lenstubelogs.lens videos on lens. @glassxyz.lens protocol for decentralised video. **market place**: @lensport.lens buy and sell collects, create token gated posts, ... . **fun**: @memester-xyz.lens create memes easily and publish directly on lens. www.lyrical.world (#LensAI) create ai generated images and publish on lens. @amnisiac.lens listen to music in your feed or other profile's feed (e.g. @mixtape.lens ). @truthordare.lens ;-). @lensgardennft.lens dynamic activity based NFTs. word cloud generator by @rickydata.lens https://lens-wordcloud.streamlit.app .

Big news: Sound will soon be open to all artists 🔊 We always promised to build an open platform. Now we’re getting close… A thread 👇 From day one we promised that Sound would eventually open to everyone. All artists should have access to the best Web3 tools. We’ll have more details soon, but today we wanted to give you some transparency on the thought process behind opening up… 🔶 The tl;dr Before Sound opens, we need to make sure everything is ready: 1. Smooth onboarding process 2. Building features for a mass audience. 3. Battle testing the platform. 4. Do things that don’t scale. 5. Verifying audio ownership 6. Thank you for being patient 🙏 Let’s go through them… 🔶 1. Smooth onboarding So far we have personally onboarded all 400 artists one-by-one on video calls. By doing this we learned all the pain points and deeply understood who we are building for. Now we can turn that process into seamless onboarding for all artists. 🔶 2. Building features for mass audience We are thinking big. Sound needs to be ready for millions of music fans and tens of thousands of artists. That means building features that work at scale, such as: 🔹Simplifying the user experience Email sign-ups Credit card payments Mobile app 🔹Building a discovery layer Better ways to discover music on Sound beyond the first 24-hours of a drop. And the ability to browse through thousands of artists. 🔹Sustainable drop methods Offer an alternative to the ‘sellout’ mentality. We wanted to give artists a sustainable, long-term way to sell their music, which is why we built Sound Swap. These features are rolling out to all artists over the coming weeks. 🔶 3. Battle testing the platform To get to the point where we’re ready for millions of music fans, we needed to stress test every part of the platform and iterate fast. Working closely with a curated group of artists allowed us to do that and get feedback in real time. Together we’ve experimented with hundreds of features and honed the product until it's ready. We figured out what works. What didn’t work. We refined it. Now we can roll it out to everyone. 🔶 4. Doing things that don’t scale A core principle of building a startup is doing things that don’t scale. We onboarded every artist with a white-glove service. We hosted daily Twitter Spaces to showcase artists. We tweeted about every drop. We spoke to artists and collectors every single day. All of these things were essential for kickstarting the flywheel. Now there’s enough momentum that Sound can accelerate on its own. 🔶 5. Verifying audio ownership Opening up Sound will bring new challenges for our team… For example, what happens if someone uploads music that doesn’t belong to them? We’ve been building tools to counter this problem (such as audio footprint technology). We also wanted to focus all our resources on the core product rather than fighting legal issues at such an early stage. 🔶 6. Thank you for being patient We know that hundreds of artists have applied to Sound and waited patiently. We hear your feedback about decentralization. Trust that we’ve been working towards this from day one and we’re nearly there. Within three months every artist will have access to Sound and all our artist tools. The next era of music NFTs is coming. Thanks for coming on this journey with us.
We’re excited to ship an easier way for you to fund your wallet with ETH on Sound.xyz 🌎 Coverage in 190+ countries & 140 currencies 💱 9 major onramps (incl. @moonpay, @Transak, etc) 💳 42 payment methods (incl. card, Apple Pay, ACH, etc) Details below 👇 Last week, we introduced a way for users without a wallet to sign-in via email as part of an ongoing effort to meet listeners wherever they are in their web3 journey. Now, we’ve integrated with Onramper to provide users with a way to fund their wallets with ETH. Once you’re signed in to Sound, tap your avatar and click “Add Funds”. Input the amount of ETH you want to fund, compare exchange rates between onramps, and select your preferred payment method.

Music NFTs will have their breakout moment. The number of artists are rising. New collectors are growing. Collectives are building. We're just getting started.
**High gas costs suck.** Collecting music should be about the music, but lately it costs more in gas to collect a song than the cost of the song itself. Artists need to have a material amount of ETH to deploy their song, and that’s a non-starter for many. So today - we’re excited to partner with the Optimism Collective to bring Sound to a Layer 2. To commemorate our launch on a Layer 2, we’re dropping a song by Optimism co-founder Ben Jones and Sound co-founder Gigamesh as a free open edition. Available to mint for 7 days here: **sound.xyz/optimism/v-buterin**

From the moment we launched Bello, the feedback was consistent: "Incredible insights! But how do I directly engage with these wallets?" We heard you. Loud and clear. Introducing Mass Messaging on Bello powered by @xmtplabs.lens. Planning your first music NFT drop and want to contact a particular group of wallets interested in onchain music? Find them on Bello and send them a message. Say thanks to those who've collected every NFT? No prob. Releasing a new feature and want to tell your users? Done. Communication forms the bedrock of any community or company. From @lensprotocol followers to those connecting their wallets on your site, IYK swag collectors, and @poapxyz.lens enthusiasts, web3 audiences are scattered and traditional channels aren't enough. Bello solves this. With Mass Messages, onchain insights meet the inbox. We ensure your voice doesn't just echo—it converses, connects, and cultivates a thriving community. Now you can target and segment wallets using Bello's insights and broadcast messages to wallets if they have XMTP enabled. How does it work? We've upgraded "Actions" to include a new CTA: Message. Upon clicking, you'll be prompted to sign to unlock the floodgates of crafting your first message. With mass messaging comes great responsibility. Spam is no joke - it's why we're empowering wallet owners with choice in every message. V1 of Messages includes opt-out links for those who do not want to receive further communications from certain senders. Mass messaging is the right next step and we couldn't be more excited to roll this out to vetted enterprise customers. If you want to give this a spin for yourself, DM us or join the waitlist below: https://bello.lol/join To learn more, check out our blog and podcast episode with Shane Mac, Co-Founder and CEO of XMTP on the future of web3 marketing and communications. https://mirror.xyz/0x3F40b243df2d1757566c34572777e23E6b0f2D80/YH-49iNbCOY4uXSI1K6daa400LByLtmM0dBWC2IemnY
Exploring Web3 Marketing's Next Big Thing: Mass Wallet-to-Wallet Communication I had the pleasure of sitting down for an intimate conversation with Shane Mac recently, the Co-Founder and CEO of XMTP. For the next 40 minutes enjoy learning about: ◉ Shane's previous $50 million acquisition by BlackBerry ◉ His early entrepreneurial days on eBay and teaching himself how to code ◉ XMTP's role in the web3 growth landscape What struck me the most was hearing about the history of Internet messaging and why web3 is the perfect solution for building your final "contact" list. The reason I was keen to have this discussion with Shane was to better understand web3 growth networks and the future of Internet marketing. It became clear: at the foundation of it all is communication. It’s what keeps projects moving, growing, and connecting. And on the topic of connections, XMTP's recent partnership with Coinbase Wallet has been creating quite the buzz, especially at @bellosights.lens. 🍄 We've integrated XMTP, which means we’ve opened up a new way for our users to engage. Imagine being able to send mass messages to your NFT collectors, let alone *any* group of wallets. It's a game-changer. I genuinely believe XMTP is taking steps that will bring us closer to widespread web3 adoption. And having the opportunity to share this conversation with you all feels special. Enjoy.
