Hi there!
I'd like to get outside my comfort zone for this, and do a bit of self-promotion. Not for this account, but rather for my "choose-your-own-adventure" account: @postplaygames.
@postplaygames is where I post daily updates to a sprawling RPG game that anyone is free to join in & participate with. I don't require upvotes nor resteem from the players, so it is truly & honestly 100% free to play.
Not only that, but I'm currently expanding the entire project in order to begin allowing other Steemians & writers to create their own RPG games that will get posted to the account and hopefully reach a wide audience. The games will be curated to ensure high-quality and active writers. Once this feature is rolled out, and if I were to be lucky enough to get on the @ocdb whitelist, I would use the @ocd upvote to randomly reward one of the day's stories. I think all of this would help introduce new creators to the Steem platform and give them a headstart. Basically:
"Are you a writer? Come pitch a game to Post-Play Games! If selected, you'll earn daily rewards, gather a fanbase, and can use that to grow your own brand."
That's how I plan to target creators. For everyday users, who aren't on Steem yet, I'm actually going to be rolling out my very own hand-coded Post-Play Games mobile app, where anyone can come & play a wide variety of free Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games hosted on Steem. This will open up Steem to an entirely new demographic and, with the right marketing, can bring in a bunch of new people.
In addition to all of the above, I also want to bring back a feature from earlier games I posted, where I actually redistributed the weekly rewards back to the players. This incentives active engagement, not to mention making the games more enjoyable to play! ;^)
note: *currently, @postplaygames is on a hiatus due to some unfortunate real-life issues that arose. But come April 1st, everything will be firing at all cylinders again!
Sorry for the long post, as I said I tend to feel weird promoting my own works so I feel the need to over-explain my ideas in order to justify it haha 😅
Regardless of the outcome, I think what you all are doing with this initiative is great! Thank you for helping people earn while doing what they love 😊👍
Let me know of you have any questions, I'm always around! :^)
