Promo-steem UK: Cambridge University with @starkerz and molometer part 2

in #promo-uk7 years ago (edited)

Yesterday was eventful and very memorable. After spending two hours wandering around Cambridge I finally located @starkerz He has been on a three and a half week whistle-stop tour of universities around the UK spreading the word about steemit.com @starkerz is super motivated and very engaging. We had a blast all day long. It was a pleasure to meet another steemit enthusiast.

These girls were on a day trip to Cambridge. It is a beautiful city. They loved my hat!

These chaps sell punt boat trips along the River Cam. The chap on the left is the social media manager for the punt company so he was quite interested in learning about steemit and what we were blogging about.
That's me on the left and @starkerz on the left.

The girl on the right below was studying archaeology. A subject that I am into so we had a full on geek fest about dig sites we have been to. So she got the cover shot. :)

This market trader told us that he was on steemit but had forgotten his username. He is a graphic designer and said he would try to get back on and look us up.

This trader was kind enough to model my hat! lol It looks better on her than on me.

This is Magnus and Maria from Stockholm two of ten teachers who were guiding 94 students around Cambridge. That my friend is dedication.

The guard was saying nothing. Conversation was a little wooden.

But @starkerz got the message through to him in the end.

This chap was interested in finding out about steemit and said he could get internet access at the library. Look forward to seeing him soon.

If you would like to know how @starkerz engages with the public he was kind enough to let me film him while he explained his method. It is very effective and the public were very receptive as the above photos show. It is good to have a positive message of possibilities.

That is beyond cool! You will be a great promoter, my friend!

Thanks for the vote of confidence @melinda010100 it was a brilliant day. Can't believe the welcome we got. People are so helpful.

Thanks @melinda010100 we had such a laugh and the people we met where just stupendous. So pleased we did it and this was the last leg of the tour so it was pretty amazing to see the reactions of people. Just brilliant.

I'm sure they were all delighted to meet you! Hope you found us a whole bunch of new friends!

We met some lovely people. It was more of a awareness raising thing.

The video at the end is SOOOO good!! love it @molometer!! congratulations on doing such a great job on this!
Will upvote tomorrow once my steem power has replenished a bit as i had a "get carried away voting day" today.

Glad you liked it as it contains your engagement method and message which is spot on.
It's a clear and concise way to drive calls to action.
It'll be interesting to give it another go.
Did you like the fly on the wall/table camera angle? Very powerful.

hehe! certainly like the camera angle! but i will be sure to cut my nostril hairs if being filmed from such an angle again! ;))))

You're a trend setter! Nostril hair is big right now lol

Steem on @molometer! You did a great job!! I give you a thousand kudos! What a wonderful way to meet and greet (at the university!)

I loved your promo- and the video was awesome!!! You look like you are having too good a time!

Enjoy!!! Send more video!!!! :)

The real stars of this post are all the wonderful people that helped us by posing for the photos. They just bowled me over with their willingness to jump in and have a go. They were from all over the world and all ready to have a bit of fun. Restored my faith in humanity. It is a priceless gift.
More videos? lol I'll get right on it.

That is so wonderful to hear. My faith has been restored once and again with tsu and now steemit. The caring never seems to stop. Absolutely priceless. I agree.

Have a great day!

Awesome job, buddy!! You look like you were having a good time!! Good seeing an old timer teaching the youngins a thing or two!!!

It was a great day and we learned a lot. @starkerz is a terrific ambassador for steemit.

great post...looks like you had a lot of fun :)

It was such a laugh. We met so many super friendly people. Brilliant!

This is so cool! You guys did a great job there and had fun doing it! :)

I think the key to this @pipurilla is that we (steemit) are not selling anything. We have a very positive message of an alternative way to interact online and the possibility to meet wonderful helpful people.
If was a very liberating experience and a lot of fun too.

Guess this is what makes the difference! :)
