When are you taking submissions until for your story contest. Is it Friday?
Yes, midnight Friday GMT, which I think is 8pm EST Friday.

Great. Yes, I think sports is obviously a huge market but most of the potential will come from outside SN as I have been doing the posts so long now I think most of the stackers that are already on SN that are going to interact with the territory already do. Although there have been a couple new people lately. Is there growth potential from within, sure, but trying to bring sports content enjoyers to SN is probably a better outlet then trying to drag stackers who primarily want to talk about bitcoin and dev stuff to my arena might be a tough sell.
I think pinned posts could be a quick way to profitability for you. If you find the next bitcoin book or finance book coming out and offer the author the pinned spot for a blurb about their forth coming book with a link to where stackers can pre order. You could probably easily recoup your entire rent for the month. I don't see why an author wouldn't pay 100k sats to have a post about their book pinned at the top of the territory for the month before launch. You could also make smaller deals with substack writers. 25k sats for a week of pinned post featuring the blog of their choice and a link to sign up.
You could create a standard sell sheet with a bit of info and data about the territory and SN and why them promoting in the territory would align with their writing or fanbase etc.
Maybe you and @kr should do a test. Pin his bookmarkd blog or his most recent article "joe rogan's top books" or whichever one he wants for a week and see what kind of engagement, feedback you get and he can see if he gets a boost in click through. If his clicks increase 25% for that week that's a potential data point you can use when soliciting others.

Very good ideas. I already have a few feelers out along the lines you describe re pinned posts, but no commitments yet. I'm starting with small players for small amounts, but even that could cover costs pretty easily.

Awesome. Good to hear.

We'll see if they pan out.
