Enhanced Management of the @TelcoinTAO X Account

Summary
The @TelcoinTAO X account is currently underutilised, particularly in promoting key events and providing regular, enthusiastic updates between bi-weekly council meetings. This proposal outlines a strategy to manage the account more effectively, with a minimum of four posts per week, highlighting the benefits for community engagement, transparency, and the success of Telcoin’s web3 initiatives and governance model. Fill the gap of silence between bi weekly council meetings.

Current Challenges

  1. Infrequent and Lackluster Updates: The @TelcoinTAO account has posted sporadically, with significant gaps between updates (e.g., May 27 and June 5, 2025). The posts lack enthusiasm, which fails to excite or engage the community effectively.

  2. Missed Opportunities: Critical events, such as the Telcoin TAO Competition announced by @cantinaxyz on June 6, 2025, were not promoted on the official account, risking lower participation and undermining the project’s visibility.

  3. Reliance on Third Parties and Discord: New users are often directed to Discord to ask repetitive questions, leading to frustration and a poor first experience. Existing community members lack a reliable space to direct newcomers for updates.

  4. Inaccessibility of Council Meetings: The majority of the community cannot attend bi-weekly council meetings due to scheduling or time zone constraints, leaving them uninformed about governance decisions and progress.

Proposed Strategy for @TelcoinTAO X Account Management

  1. Increased Posting Frequency and Enthusiasm
  • Objective: Ensure consistent, engaging communication to keep the community informed, excited, and involved.
  • Implementation:
    • Post a minimum of four times per week, covering updates on platform development, governance decisions, community initiatives, and key events.
    • Infuse posts with enthusiasm to generate excitement and encourage participation. Use vibrant language and visuals to make the content more appealing.
    • Schedule posts to coincide with significant milestones, such as the upcoming mainnet launch in Q3 2025, the Beta Mainnet by year-end, and the introduction of new features or partnerships.
  1. Live Streaming Bi-Weekly Council Meetings
  • Objective: Increase accessibility and transparency of governance activities for the majority of the community who cannot attend in person.
  • Implementation:
    • Host bi-weekly council meetings via X Spaces or embedded live streams, announced two weeks in advance, reminders through the week.
    • Encourage community participation through questions and comments during the live stream.
    • The day after each meeting, post an enthusiastic summary on @TelcoinTAO highlighting key points, decisions, and action items, with a link to the recording for those who missed the live event.
  1. Proactive Promotion of Key Events
  • Objective: Maximize participation and visibility of Telcoin initiatives to reduce reliance on third-party platforms.
  • Implementation:
    • Promote all major events, such as competitions and partnership announcements, on the @TelcoinTAO account simultaneously with or before third-party platforms.
    • For the recent Telcoin TAO Competition, a retroactive post could still drive engagement.
    • Ensure cross-promotion with partners like @cantinaxyz to amplify reach and maintain enthusiasm.
  1. Community Engagement and Interaction
  • Objective: Foster a sense of ownership and involvement among both new and existing community members.
  • Implementation:
    • Use polls, AMAs, and Q&A sessions on X to gather feedback, answer questions, and generate excitement.
    • Respond promptly and enthusiastically to comments and direct messages to build trust and show responsiveness.
    • Share user-generated content to encourage participation and create a positive vibe.
  1. Educational Content
  • Objective: Empower the community with knowledge to participate effectively in governance and platform activities, reducing the need for repetitive questions on Discord.
  • Implementation:
    • Post enthusiastic guides on how to stake $TEL, participate in governance votes, and use the Telcoin Wallet.
    • Highlight unique aspects of Telcoin, such as its telecom partnerships and GSMA validation, to differentiate it in the web3 space and generate excitement.

Benefits of Enhanced X Account Management

  1. For the Web3 Space
  • Increased Visibility and Excitement: Regular, enthusiastic posts will attract new users and investors, crucial for Telcoin’s growth in the competitive web3 landscape.
  • Community Building: Active, engaging communication fosters a vibrant, excited community, which is a key differentiator for web3 projects aiming to stand out.
  • Trust and Credibility: Consistent updates and transparent, enthusiastic governance processes will build trust, countering skepticism often associated with crypto projects.
  • Competitive Edge: Projects like Telcoin, with innovative models (e.g., telecom-validated blockchain), need to communicate these advantages effectively and with enthusiasm to gain traction.
  1. For the Community Governance Model
  • Enhanced Participation: Accessible live streams and summary posts will encourage more community members to engage in governance, aligning with Telcoin’s decentralized model.
  • Empowerment: Educational content and interactive, enthusiastic sessions will empower users to make informed decisions, strengthening the governance process.
  • Feedback Loop: Real-time engagement during live streams and post-meeting interactions will create a robust, excited feedback loop, ensuring community input shapes Telcoin’s direction.
  • Legitimacy: Official, enthusiastic communications on @TelcoinTAO will reduce reliance on third-party sources and Discord, reinforcing the legitimacy of governance decisions.
  1. For New and Existing Community Members
  • Improved Onboarding Experience: New users will have a reliable, enthusiastic space on X to stay informed, reducing the need to ask repetitive questions on Discord and preventing frustration.
  • Space for Existing Members: Regular updates on X provide a platform for existing community members to direct newcomers, ensuring they stay in the loop and have a positive experience.
  • Reduced Frustration: By addressing common questions and providing enthusiastic, clear information on X, the community can avoid the repetitive, frustrating interactions currently occurring on Discord.

Resource Requirements

  • Dedicated Social Media Manager: Allocate a team member or hire a professional to manage the X account, ensuring consistent, enthusiastic posting and engagement.
  • Content Creation Tools: Invest in tools for scheduling posts, analyzing engagement, and creating visual, exciting content (e.g., Canva, Hootsuite).
  • Technical Support: Ensure reliable internet and backup systems for live streams to handle potential issues and maintain enthusiasm.
  • Community Moderators: Train or appoint moderators for live streams and post interactions to maintain order, enthusiasm, and responsiveness.

Conclusion
Managing the @TelcoinTAO X account with greater frequency, enthusiasm, and strategic focus is essential for the associations growth in the web3 space and its community governance model. By implementing the proposed strategy, Telcoin can enhance transparency, foster engagement, and provide a reliable, exciting space for both new and existing community members. This will ultimately support the project’s goals of decentralized finance innovation and global adoption, while improving the onboarding experience and reducing frustration for new users.

Good summary.

My understanding is that much of this is going to be covered by the marketing firm hired to manage the social media accounts. Are these short term (2-3 weeks) goals? Extended focus for the media company?

Was advised to bring this discussion to the forums by itsyurboy. Would be great if the marketing agency was to take over and get things moving regarding the X account (or yourself) even for the short term. Until then maybe we can have Coops type recaps directly to the X account? Get some enthusiastic posts going around the competition with Catina. Be good to get ahead of everything that’s happening with the X account. So much as been mentioned over the last few meetings maybe we can have a well designed post highlighting everything mentioned? Something to keep the community updated, something we can share from the official X account

That would be perfect. Be good if we can make that happen asap

I’m in full support of this. We can use the account delegation feature to responsibly collaborate on the Association’s account. I think @brozee has done a great job demonstrating he is capable and willing to help engage. I’ve added this to the TC/PC agenda today.
