Things got too busy yesterday, and the Word of Mouth Wednesday I kept meaning to post didn't make it. So, today we're having Word of Mouth Thursday!

This week's challenge is tutorials. There are a number of really great SN posts about how to use SN:

The Art of Using Stacker News (#252695)
The Art of Using Stacker News II (#392551)
The Data to Help You Become a Better Stacker (#441843)

Unfortunately, you have to know a little bit about Stacker News to benefit from these excellent posts. Fortunately, there is an entire cottage industry of making tutorials about Bitcoin things.

I'm offering a 10k sat bounty for the best effort to get a Bitcoin tutorial maker to make a tutorial about Stacker News.

Maybe you know someone who knows someone and can get them to mention it to the tutorial maker.
Maybe you are really really good with cold outreach emails.
Maybe you are the tutorial maker's lover and can whisper to them sweet nothings about Stacker News.
Maybe you are a tutorial maker yourself and you have such a tutorial in the works.

Describe your efforts in a comment below. Bounty will be awarded to the best effort, as judged by me at high noon on Sunday, July 27, Texas time.

(Note: this bounty is not for tutorials posted on SN -- I want to see tutorials posted somewhere else)

I don't know if this is the best tutorial but I sold my speech to people and come here at Twitter at 2022 and when people ask me about SN, this is what I show them but in spanish. Here's the thread: https://x.com/nelsondcg1/status/1547199697550331907

Okay, I sent a LinkedIn message to the CEO of Bitrefill. Let’s see how this works out. Fun challenge! 🤗

Hi Sergej,

You do not know me, but I go by the name of @cryotosensei and use Bitrefill frequently to buy supermarket vouchers and support my beer drinking habit.

Without forking out a single sat of my own.

I am fortunate enough to nurture my ever-flourishing beer fund by posting on a social media platform called Stacker News. You can learn all about its unique ethos. Essentially, I display POW there and get awarded sats because the regulars are kind enough to regard my news as signal. And that’s how I get enough sats to buy vouchers from Bitrefill.

I notice that your blog articles mostly dwell on Bitrefill and your partnerships. I think it’s high time you feature a tutorial on Stacker News - to reach out to more plebs like me who like to interact with like-minded people and get an indescribable and everlasting thrill by giving and receiving sats. Not every consumer will buy beer like me, but I’m sure once you post a tutorial about Stacker News, you will meet many plebs who use it loyally to purchase their desired items.

Let me know if your staff writer needs more information on Stacker News

Yours sincerely Cryotosensei

Great effort! Messages are a surprisingly difficult medium in which to achieve clarity.

I think the best use case for stacker.news is the kinds of independent publishing and monetization it allows for. I put my own book here in rough format first, and since there was interest in the agora, made a store yesterday for selling pdfs of publications. To me, that's how you are going to spread the use--people go where the content they want to consume is.

It would be cool if someone -- cough rhymes with wurtzinger cough -- wrote a little tutorial about how to monetize one's content on SN...

If I wrote it, I'd have to read it. I'm not the best example of monetizing my content here. I am a good example, though, of showing how the freedom of the press is more here than other places on the net.

Not sure if this one fits the challenge, but I do remember this one.

I actually think that post has resulted in a fair bit of traffic for SN, but I'm looking for new efforts to get some of the tutorial people interested.
