Introducing Leo Alpha

in LeoFinance3 years ago

A few weeks ago, @khaleelkazi started a new theme for posts he called LeoAlpha. You can read his initial idea in this post. This project is being expanded and built into what we hope will become a key selling point for Leofinance, and a major driver of traffic to the site.

About me.

Firstly, this account, and project, is being set up and run by @jk6276. I've been in touch with Khal, and he has tasked me with building out the "Leo Alpha" idea into a more formalized project. For those that don't know me, I have been blogging here on Leofinance since the very start of the project, and on Hive for over 3 1/2 years. Personally, I am delighted to take on this role, and looking forward to doing my best to build Leo Alpha into a great driver of growth and visibility for the LeoFinance site.

How can you get involved?

We are looking for great content, deep dives, detailed guides and walkthrough's and insight into crypto projects that will set LeoFinance apart. Anyone can produce #leoalpha content, however we would ask that using the tag be restricted to in depth, detailed posts and content. For some examples of the type of content we are after, check @khaleelkazi's recent posts on Thorchain. The point of LeoAlpha is to highlight the fantastic community of crypto people, and focus on the Alpha that people can get here on Leofinance. If you bought RUNE, for example, when this community first learned about it, you would have done very very well. Tapping in to the communities collective knowledge, and distilling that into a series of in depth, detailed content.

I am looking to gather a small team (just a few people to begin with) of proven content creators to co-ordinate with and plan how the Leo Alpha project develops. If you feel you would like to help me build this out, hit me up here or inbox me on discord (jk6276#1893). I am planning to produce a weekly highlights post from this account, which will showcase the best LeoAlpha content each week.

Long story short, LeoAlpha's goal is to build a body of evergreen content that will bring traffic to Leofinance, from external sources, and build engagement with the communities we write about. Long term, we hope for Leofinance to become a must visit site for people to learn about crypto projects, in detail. This will hopefully lead in to some business development with the communities. To quote Khal from our conversations:

... business development with projects (i.e. allowing projects like Thorchain, etc. to see that our community creates great content about them, then inviting them for collaboration in various forms - come on the podcast, share their blog posts on leofinance.io, etc.)

This project will feed in to the "community pages" concept, which is on the roadmap for Leofinance once the work on the mobile apps winds down.

I've set up a new Twitter account. This account will share and retweet the best #leoalpha content. Be sure to give it a follow. If you have any ideas or suggestions for this project, hit me up. If you would like to work with me on this, let me know. The #leoalpha tag will be watched closely, and "generously" curated by @leo.voter. That said, please don't just add LeoAlpha to every post, it is meant to be for the best content on Leo.

So, please do give this account, and the twitter account a follow, and hit me up if you would like to help build Leo Alpha into bringing to life the vision of making leofinance.io a must visit site for great crypto Alpha.

Cheers,

JK.

Real good to see some marketing focus also from an active point of view, coming from the users, like real testimonies.

I'm excited to be working on drawing attention back to LeoFinance and driving the growth of this platform. This is a smart, crypto savvy community, we just need to highlight that and bring more eyeballs onto the site.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Fully agree with you, this community is special indeed. There shall be more focus from everyone in it, so that the outside can notice it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Does it have to be related to #Defi, farms, yields and similar, strictly economy oriented themes, or the posts can be written about crypto games as well?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Play 2 earn is a huge trend in crypto, definitely some alpha there for the community if we find the next Splinterlands before it blows up.

Splinterlands deep dives and guides bring a huge amount of google traffic to Leofinance, will definitely be a focus of attention.

LeoAlpha should bring awesome projects to the Leo Finance community and show them where the value of this community comes from. There were many cases of projects endorsed in one way or the other by the team, so having a formal space to add such opportunities is great. Filter by #leoalpha tag and see what's new and might moon in the crypto space!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That's the idea. There is so much collective wisdom in the LeoFinance community. LeoAlpha is going to distill that, promote it and highlight what this community has to offer.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Great initiative, you have been bringing many new projects to our attention before. I am only in RUNE and OSMOS because of you. So this could be very interesting, looking forward to learn more about cool projects from this account.

Thanks Flauwy, I can't wait to see what the community brings to us all in the way of some new alpha.

I am interested in helping. I produce a lot of guides, noobie help material and such, have done deep dive type posts in the past.

Awesome, I'll keep an eye out on upcoming posts. Will be watching the #leoalpha tag closely. Detailed guides and walkthroughs are great for generating long term google traffic, which will be a goal.

I'll hit you up if we need anything specific.

It is great to see this idea coming to life :)
I also dont believe that I was not following your personal account till now.
I will try to come up with some ideas too and I ll be with you all the way!
All the best!

I am looking forward to seeing what the community comes up with. Will watch the #leoalpha tag closely.

Thanks so much for the support.

I’m extremely excited to see what becomes of this

As a community, we’ve discovered great alpha in the past. Finding and discussing opportunities on this platform is unlike any other platform. We’re all deeply entrenched in crypto and are bonded together by community and by tokenization (LEO).

I think LeoAlpha will be yuge one day, with the right TLC by a very capable person like @jk6276 🦁

I'm looking forward to seeing what we can make of it. Thanks for your trust and support.

It's a good plan and even if you can make it know as a place to post content about existing projects it will open up a lot of other avenues to drive traffic to the site.

Good content can be used in the newsletter and even reaching out to projects across crypto to see if they would like to post to the community where it will get a lot of exposure to to a large and interested userbase.

It can start with the community doing the legwork but if it works and creates a hub for crypto content then it would not take much to get projects coming to us rather than chasing them.

I'm going to get in touch with @taskmaster4450 to see if the weekly "curation" style post can go out as a weekly email newsletter also.

I'd love to hit the point where projects are approaching us for coverage, that'd be the dream position to be in.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That is exactly what I have been doing on sports with a show case post once a week. This works and glad Leofinance is doing something similar. This is the one post everyone should be reading.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thanks for the support. A weekly curation round up just makes so much sense. It kind of happens with the mailing list work that @taskmaaster4450 is doing, this account will have a more specific focus.

Fantastic

Great idea! I don't think I have proven myself as a content creator just yet but hopefully in the future I'll be able to "claim" that tile and contribute to this great initiative.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It can take a while to get the hang of content creation, it's definitely not an easy skill to master. A great way to see what we are looking for will be to follow the posts we highlight, and get a feel for what we are looking for.

It took me 3 years before I really felt like I knew what I was doing here.

Fantastic idea! This will do amazing things for Leo Finance. Well done peeps!

Thanks Leo team for the good work!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I think it is a very good idea to formally organize Leo Alpha content. This formal recognition of one of the best attributes of this community is a way to showcase the community to outsiders and encourage our best and brightest content creators.
Bravo
👏👏👏
