I spent 40,000 sats on a zap-vertising experiment… Inspired by @Mike Rama , I read everything he posted on Zapvertising. And I think I also proved that advertising on Nostr actually works. This was my first time ever advertising for my coaching business, so I've zero experience in this. Here’s: 1️⃣ What I did 2️⃣ The results 3️⃣ What I learned 1️⃣ What I did: I ran a zap-based ad campaign for my health coaching services: → 40,000 sats ($40) spent on zaps. → Rewarded 2,000 sats for the first 15 reposts & 500 sats for the next 20. → Promoted a post detailing my coaching services in an honest way. My goal? Increase reach and attract potential clients. Everything else was a bonus. 2️⃣ The results: → 47 reposts → 40 new followers (40% increase) I didn't ask people to follow me. → 38 replies (Overwhelmingly positive) → 36 likes → Reach of reposts: 20,000 followers of those who reposted → 2 potential clients 3️⃣ Learnings → Zapvertising works. This wasn’t just vanity metrics, engagement was high, and I got real potential clients. → Reposts = massive reach. A network effect kicks in fast when people share. → SPN (Sats per Nostridge) = 2 Sats per Nostridge → A 40% increase in followers from a single campaign, without even asking for follows. I intentionally didn’t make following a requirement because I want people who genuinely connect with my content. → People are open to this. No negative pushback just solid positive engagement. → ROI looks promising. Two potential clients off a $40 spend. → Tracking notifications was difficult. I missed a couple of quoted reposts, so I’ll need a better system next time. Final Thoughts: Zapvertising has potential, it’s peer-to-peer, trust-based, and cuts out the middleman. Future experiments: → A time-based repost window (e.g., 48 hours) could expand reach. → A random draw (posted live) could add engagement & fairness rather than 1st past the post. This just the beginning, I’ll be running more of these in the next couple of months. What do you think? Let me know your thoughts! 👇

Ever felt like no matter how hard you try, you’re always hungry, battling cravings, or stuck in a weight-loss plateau? The culprit isn't willpower, it’s Leptin. What is Leptin? Leptin is a hormone produced by your fat cells that tells your brain: → You have enough energy, stop eating. → Burn stored fat for fuel. → Regulate metabolism and hunger correctly. When Leptin works properly, weight loss is effortless. But here’s the problem: If you are overweight you are most likely Leptin resistant. This is where the brain stops listening to Leptin’s signals, making you feel constantly hungry and driving fat storage. What Causes Leptin Resistance? → Circadian mismatch: Irregular sleep, artificial light at night, lack of morning sunlight, snacking & eating 2hrs before bed. → Inflammation: Processed foods, seed oils, leaky gut and chronic stress. → Hyperinsulinemia & Overeating: Constant high insulin levels from snacking, late meals, and processed food. How do you become Leptin sensitive again? 1. Sunlight upon waking and plenty of light through the day. 2. Prioritise protein & healthy fats for breakfast. Eat plenty of Seafood. 3. Lower stress by walking, nature, box breathing, mindfulness etc. 4. Ditch the Industrial seed oils, sugar, and refined carbs. 5. Avoid eating 3hrs before bed. No snacking. 6. Block blue light at night and dim down those lights. 7. Get 8-9 hours sleep, and keep a consistent bedtime. The payoff... → Effortless fat loss: No need for extreme diets or calorie counting. → Cravings disappear: Hunger is regulated, making food choices easy. → Higher energy: Your metabolism works with you, not against you. Your body isn’t broken, it’s just out of sync with its natural rhythm. Master Leptin. Master Your Metabolism. Fix your light, sleep, and food environment, and weight loss becomes
