Cosmos Outreach Group (COG) Initative
Hey friends, I’ve been in the works hoping to access some funds to better suit my intention of helping to grow, manage and educate the $ATOM community. I’ve reached out to the Prop 34 team with these proposals to help in conjunction with their initiatives, specifically their Meme competition, outreach in general, and to help with the creation of Twitter content by creating links to quotable long-form content and I wanted to share it here with the intention of transparency.
- Summary
- The Goals of These Initiatives:
1. Educating people to help realize the fundamentals of the long-term play of Cosmos Atom and to aid the convenience in which every converted user can do their bit in sharing, re-posting and participating in their own sphere of influence, whatever that may be.
2. An Instagram and Facebook fan-page presence to be used to provide updates on the network’s recent activities to help initiate and educate newcomers, as well as to use to help with word-of-mouth promotion via give-aways and other promotional tools as well as with intent to send people to long-form content to be used for further sharing and discussion.
3. Re-introducing old Cosmos Media pieces as fundamentals to educate newcomers of older under-utilized long-form content (Cosmos Youtube, Citizen Cosmos, Medium Blogs) posted on Facebook and Reddit, that we can allow people to share on whatever social media that they desire and have influence on.
4. Engaging the Reddit community with informative thread contests, meme contests, and quality content with the intention of making $ATOM holders feel more involved in the community and with the by-product to be used on helping create crowd-sourced short-form content. - Applicant: TicoJohnny
- Problem: Spreading reach in social media platforms that ATOM has next-to-no activity in
- Solution: Create actively managed profiles on these platforms, as well as engage the communities within them with a mix of long-form content and give-aways.
- Funding: 550 ATOM / month
- Deliverables and timeline:

The Case for Long-Form
Long-form content is any information that’s intended to be in-depth fundamental analysis of a specific subject. This kind of content generally encourages critical thinking and sometimes can result in a shift in personal value or opinions. If the strength of Twitter is it’s power of influence in the crypto-market, then the strength of something like Reddit or a blog is in it’s longevity and strength as resources for short-form material, as well as it’s influence in the research that is done after the Twitter posts’ call to action. Long form content has long been the main source of trust development in any subject, i.e BOOKS, FILM, PODCASTS. If you google, for example, “The Case for Cosmos Atom” or “Cosmos ATOM” you’ll find that what pops up is Reddit, Medium, Cosmos.Network.
The downside to short-form content is that is requires little investment from the reader, which can make it forgettable. Most readers won’t interact or respond much to short-form content, you will need to produce endless rapid-fire successions of short-form content from multiple KOL’s to achieve the same conversion results you’d achieve from quality blog posts or Reddit threads. Another issue that can be perceived from short-form content is the reality of it’s high turnover rate, it could be concluded that it is better to have conversion of educated readers, instead of short-term price action if it is to be a long-term play with ATOM.
With this initiative one of the main deliverables will be a once-a-month well-written long-form article to be posted to Reddit and then cross-posted onto Medium or any other news source that will accept the article. Here is a an example of a well-received article on Reddit:
Long-form content ranks higher in google search result, the shorter the post, the lower it’s rank in Google. Readers share long-form content on social media more frequently than short-form. 56% more shares. Long form content has a 30% higher conversion rate.
