I plan on delivering to my current and future audience enthusiasm around the Zcash (zec) Token and community. I would like to create ongoing daily videos covering Zcash to capture Youtube's algorithm. I have done this in the past with other various topics but have most recently ran into a wall with my personal budget being exhausted. With this grant I can become more able to deliver to my current and future audience exciting enthusiasm around Zcash; Using my consistent and approachable methods I do believe I can deliver. My Channel currently has 796,057 views and 3,190 subs. > > \### Project Description > > The project goal is simple, to create consistent videos covering Zcash on Youtube that push people into holding zec token. I have looked into various related videos covering Zcash on Youtube and I do believe there is a huge untapped amount of people will never find Zcash with the current content available. > > \### Proposed Problem > > The clear problem is the type of Zcash content that is currently available does not cater to current crypto users or enthusiast in the way to make them want to actually buy the zec token. > > \### Proposed Solution > > I will create Camaraderie around my current community through my consistent approach, which will lead to Youtube to continue pushing my videos, ultimately reaching a broader Youtube audience to discover Zcash. > > \### Solution Format > > Youtube Videos > > \### Dependencies > > none > > \### Technical Approach > > OBS ( to bring back regular livestreams) > Camera > Final Cut Pro > > \### Upstream Merge Opportunities > > none > > \### Hardware/Software Costs (USD) > > 0 > > \### Hardware/Software Justification > > I will just use the current hardware/software I currently use. > > \### Service Costs (USD) > > 0 > > \### Service Costs Justification > > none > > \### Compensation Costs (USD) > > 0 > > \### Compensation Costs Justification > > no team > > \### Total Budget (USD) > > $12,000 > > \### Previous Funding > > No > > \### Previous Funding Details > > \_No response\_ > > \### Other Funding Sources > > No > > \### Other Funding Sources Details > > Just my current Youtube revenue, less that $100 a month. > > \### Implementation Risks > > There will be challenges for the first couple of videos; However I plan to pump out the needed additional videos covering other subtopics in crypto to set up the Zcash videos for success. > > \### Potential Side Effects > > none > > \### Success Metrics > > Youtube Analytics > > \Image. > > \Image > \Image > \Image > > \### Startup Funding (USD) > > $4,000 > > \### Startup Funding Justification > > The startup funding will go towards the time that it takes to create the videos. I am currently operating at honestly 25% because of lack of funding. I have currently exhausted a majority of my budget over the last 2 years to get the channel where it is currently at. This funding will jumpstart me overnight into 100%, and you will see the videos and community grow immediately. > > \### Milestone Details > > \`\`\`milestones.yaml > \- Milestone: 1 > Amount (USD): 4000 usd > Expected Completion Date: 2025-10-31 > > 1 video minimum (or more)a day covering Zcash; the videos will be anywhere from 8 minutes - 2hr > > I will also once every 2 weeks send a private link via email to members that have emailed me regarding this grant to cover the analytical data that I have received via youtube with either a video or private live stream. > \- Milestone: 2 > Amount (USD):4000 > Expected Completion Date: 2025-11-30 > > 1 video a day covering Zcash; the videos will be anywhere from 8 minutes - 2hr > > I will also once every 2 weeks send a private link via email to members that have emailed me regarding this grant to cover the analytical data that I have received via youtube with either a video or private live stream. > > \- Milestone: 3 > Amount (USD): 4000 usd > Expected Completion Date: 2025-12-31 > > 1 video a day covering Zcash; the videos will be anywhere from 8 minutes - 2hr > > I will also once every 2 weeks send a private link via email to members that have emailed me regarding this grant to cover the analytical data that I have received via youtube with either a video or private live stream. > \`\`\` > > \### Supporting Documents > > \`\`\`files.yaml > > \`\`\` ---
