Hi Friends!
This trip I had a lot of fun chatting with my friends about the power of the Steem blockchain. There were a few people in the group I didn't know, and when they asked me what I did, I responded that, "My day job is X...but I'm a vlogger". This was the FIRST time I had ever said this aloud or identified in that way. It felt like a pretty exciting moment for me.
They are all very successful women in the world of business and naturally had a lot of questions once I started explaining how the Steem blockchain works.
They Posted on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat... I Posted on Dtube and Steepshot
One of the most striking parts of our conversations were when I pointed out the fact that we have all been creating content this weekend. When I asked if they got payed for creating posts for those mainstream social media sites - the idea seemed a little ridiculous!
When I pointed out the fact that I have literally payed for my plane ticket by creating content for crypto based social media sites like Dtube and Steepshot...it was pretty eye opening.
Because the are all very educated and intelligent - they had a lot of pointed questions about what blockchain means and how everything works. I'm not the most technical person, and so this really helped me sharpen my skills at explaining things.
We are the Best Brand Ambassadors for Steemit
I've said this before, but I really think it is true. We talk about mass adoption like it is this big thing out of our control. If we all focus on onboarding a few people around us - that is going to be more powerful than any big marketing campaign.
I would just encourage everyone to be willing to put themselves out there a little and share this amazing place with their friends and family.
Goodbye Vacation
Alright guys... I leave for the airport in an hour and so this is the last sunny, vacation vlog you'll see from me! I thought last night would be the last one, but we ended up having a few more hours than I thought this morning and have just been taking it easy on the deck this morning.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and I'll chat with you when I'm back up in WA State!
xo, Lea

Great anecdotal story girl! Funny enough this is how conversations with my friends usually go lol. "Hey yeah I've been making decent money with a reddit or facebook typed social media platform where you get paid to produce good content instead of getting likes." The general response: "Huh" "Or that's cool". I agree spreading Steemit by word of mouth is better than a marketing campaign. I have gotten two friends who were super into the idea of Steemit and joined. But have only posted a couple of posts. It's going to be tough to get people to join Steemit AND stay engaged! Nevertheless, I can't wait to see your next post about your FREE trip. I'm following you now! :)
That's amazing Lea! Although, it's always a tricky conversation depending on how receptive people are. I guess it will take a bit of time, but one day it will all be fairly normal! :)
I totally agree with you, share Steemit with a few people at a time and let it grow organically.
Vacation seems non ending but I’d definitely end. Welcome back from vacation smiles. Facebook is a waste of time for We business minded people. Steemit is the future of social platform using the power of smart media token ... tokenizing the internet compared to Facebook and others. Dtube replaced youtube you know and that’s the way it is
looks like u have lot of fun in this vacation keep it up
Way to go. I am talking about Steem on Facebook groups that have to do with Youtube or influencer marketing through social media. Planting seeds because the more that people hear about it, the more seriously they will take it.
Agree love steemit
let's promote the extraordinary steemit. I have a question, how influential a personal website is to traffic on google
How about making a steem World Trip? 1 camcorder being passed on and on? @steem.trip
Every steemian has to hand over posting and active key. He gets 100% of steem reward for the post he makes. Lets Start in bellingham head east or West and Lets See how fast steemians can travel the World. ...!?
hi friend...you lady is the best...
steady post you like me ... you have success how about me? is there any ease for me a little from you? best friendship from @ fauzan11
Steemit is cool... and it help as a lot :) Me it help a lot .
nice
Steemit and Dtube are really great platforms. I think its harder for people to figure out how to use Steem and Dtube and they also probably don't know enough about Cryptocurrency to think its worth while. But if the people that have accounts and understand how it works tell more people about it, then it will spread faster. I am pretty sure Youtube is losing a lot of serious smaller content creators(including me) because of all of the changes to censorship and demonetization that they have established recently. Great video. Thumbs up!
it has been a great challenge for me to work as an ambassador for steemit, it is a special and complicated experience, not everyone can understand how it can have so many benefits, I have also been able to pay some things with my reward (I still can't make it to a plane ticket) but I have been able to pay an afternoon of tea to my friends, send birthday gifts, etc. then it is a good way to tell them that the more original we are on the platform, the better chance we have to create a reward, happy trip back.
thanks for spreading the word about Blockchain platforms, we really do need more engagement to transform the internet into a place where people can actually have control over their Data and Finances.
looks like u have lot of fun in this vacation keep it up Agree love steemit
yep you nailed it, when people add up all the parts then they will be asking for a lot more information for sure! :)
