I like it and it's a fun video, but was wondering what your target audience was.
I believe one of the issues with people not sticking around on here is because they come with the belief that it's easy to earn, then get disillusioned because they're posting and nothing's happening. To me, this video says: "Post and you will earn."

Thanks for the comment, glad you thought the video was fun @minismallholding!
The USP of Steem is you can earn tokens from posting content.
Some content is good quality, some is not so good.
The audience for this advert I suspect (and hope) realise that this video is a commercial; an optimum presentation of what something does, to persuade them.
Joining any social network requires work, right? It takes time to find like
minded people to engage with and integrate in to a community and be valued.
If new users come with an expectation of making money immediately then that’s on them, but nothing is owed.
I talk about being “upvoted, or liked” with a reference to the classic model most Facebook users are used to.
Traditional Facebook/Instagram users thrive off ‘likes’, and they tend to work pretty hard to get them.
I do agree that perhaps certain wording in the video could be edited to ‘she just got rewarded for posting GOOD content’ (like Steemit inc would say) and keep it more neutral. And ‘This guys followers just upvoted him’ etc
Cheers for the comment!

Thank you for a great response.
I always saw Facebook as a way to stay connected with friends and family, more than getting likes and fame. Viewed in that way it requires no work. I guess that's the crux of it then. How you view your use of it.

Likewise.
Yes, I use Facebook in the same way too - just to keep connected to family, and very rarely to keep followers updated on my work.
It has little other use. But the majority of my friends use it as a promotional tool, and some as a show-off vanity tool. Each to their own.
Same with Steem. I’ve been wrestling with the ideas for a while, about who STEEM is for. Because although the social media side has the wider audience, there are so many other use cases for Steem to make the world a freer, more transparent place.
And I know there are so many big developers, businesses and leaders who could build amazing things for the greater good using Steem..but for now I think spreading the word about it’s most basic upvote use in a social context is probably the best place to start spreading the word.
There’s lots to say about it, and 60 seconds isn’t quite enough.
