CREED

most perp dexs don't care about you. they are ripping you off! (this is not a shill long-form for any project) walk with me ↓ i promised to give you guys two things after writing this article: • a feedback on how it's going • a second article breaking down this problem i saw & tldr of the solution. i'll first talk about the former, but the later comes after i must have implemented this marketing strategy. > the feedback: so, i was able to get about 3 inbounds + 2 outbounds after writing this article a month ago. - 1 of them was convinced that this would work. but the only problem was that he doesn't have the budget since he's a solo founder and doesn't want VCs in his project that's currently in its testnet phase. - another said they're already doing this (which i couldn't see when i looked them up, lol). - one followed through, asked me some questions and after i gave him some tips, he aired me till today, lol. funny enough he still can't execute it without me. - one simply said, "no". - the last one pissed me off. and that's the reason why i'm going to be implementing a part of this strategy on my page (i'm going viral soon. watch out for it). > what happened? after arguing with my thesis, he told me to share my proof of work. i had to remind him how that i clearly stated in the article that i haven't tried it yet, but i'm convinced it'll work. i felt insulted tbh. he later created a gc with his co-founder i guess. i waited for a few days or so but they didn't say anything so i asked them what their pmf is. what makes their perp dex stand out. they told me it's their mobile app, lol. pls which perp dex doesn't have a mobile app fgs? 😭 they encouraged me to go try it out. i signed up and when i saw the UI/UX, bro i almost puked. i felt it in my spirit so strongly to end whatever this is. so i went back to the gc and politely told me i was out. wishing them the best btw 💜 remember i told you guys that this strategy will work no matter how good or bad your product is right? well, too bad, they couldn't give me the chance to prove it to them. > about the image i used in this write up: last week, a perps creator friend of mine crashed out in my dms concerning the state of things in this space. 99.9% of the deals you'll get from these perps BDs are affiliate-based. i'm not saying that affiliate-based marketing is wrong, but perp creators are traumatized by it already! i myself i'm tired of getting ripped, which is why i proposed this idea to help solve this. > these perp dexs are making banks on a monthly basis especially from fees. why can't they have a fixed payment format for perp creators? the funny thing is that it doesn't even cost much 😐 it's about time we balanced this. > a little hint on my solution: from a marketing perspective, i've noticed that there are about 4 touch points that will not only help solve the distribution problem for perp dexs, but also help them gain more users & dominance. but most (if not all perp dexs) are leveraging on 2 alone: 1/ points system 2/ referral/affiliate/rebate system 3/ perps creators (or creator traders) 4/ [redacted] guess what? the largest untapped pile of users lies in 3 & 4. > final call: if you're a perp dex or prop firm founder, BD, head of marketing or head of traders for any perp dex whether early or already existing ones, shoot me a dm now let's discuss these strategies. as you were 🫡
