It doesn't matter how much I talk about Steemit with my friends. They ignore everything I say and none of them cares. - That's also one of the main reasons for me to do the things I do, for minnows and for others. - I want people to care, understand and use the social media platform they all deserve to use. I'm glad your friends are eager to start, mine are still like this:
I'm finding it easier to just make new friends, here, than drag my old ones kicking and screaming.
Do they have no mechanism for recognising opportunities in advance?
I set up accounts for 3 people in one day: my mom, my best entrepreneur friend, and my neighbor.
And loads of facebook friends are joining up plus everyone i meet randomly at restaurants, etc.
I helped my girlfriend, but she lost motivation pretty quickly. This wasn't the right platform for her. - She loves to share her photos and instagram & facebook is an easier choice for her, as she already has tons of friends there. However, I've been trying to convince her to come back, as I've seen the photo category on Steemit is getting more attention now than in the early days, when she was here. - That being said, I have brought some of my clients and co-workers to Steemit, but none of them have put in the necessary effort that it requires. - And that's one of the reasons I'm working hard to make Steemit a better place for newcomers. I encourage and motivate new people, as I want them to succeed and to see Steemit for what it is. - A superb source of an extra income, but also the best social media platform I've ever seen. - I will continue to work hard to achieve these goals, and one day, when I've become an established Steemian, which is my long haul goal, I'll be able to prove it for everyone.
I just think a lot of people dont realize the potential they disconnect at some level and regard you as a dreamer .... as they just can't understand that it is real....and a lot will not have the stamina to keep it up if they dont see magic right away lol ...magic happens when we work hard and stay at it ... this is why some succeed ...they stay at it and do not get deterred
I get that too... and then they roll their eyes at eachother lo l .....it's like a brainfart ...
