I'm hoping for some marketing from Steemit inc, that's something that will also require a bit of a boost in price to make the cost of that less compared to their stake I guess. The best marketing is still the community, word of mouth and now being able to claim accounts and create accounts for the people you want onboard. When prices start to soar that's also a great marketing tool as coinmarketcap.com is still quite a popular website and just being there relatively close to the top does wonders for new users and investors.
I have some plans to help that along as well through the subreddit r/steemit. (subscribe to it if you haven't yet) :)
Nice. I am mostly spreading the word about STEEM on FB because I have around 15k people there in my group and profile(s). But as you said it, when the price is too low and my posts don't have that big reward, it's hard to promote STEEM Blockchain. SO hopefully, when STEEM goes up it will be easier. At least I know that I started to get their attention because some of them started to ask more and more about STEEM.
I am subscribed, but since I'm on STEEM, I forgot that reddit exists... :)
I'm doing the same with my 13k team on Twitter. But like you, they expect to see me showing that social proof of success on Steemit for more of them to dive in.
I have every confidence that will happen, it's just a matter of time and continuing to network with my brother Steemians.
However, I see the blogging aspect as just the "front door" for now. This package of platform and crypto will be so much more in the future, that we may need to start framing the benefits apart from the blogging, to let people know that we're more than that.
Exactly. It's on us to promote our home so I don't worry. I know when I started, I had no likes on my posts and now I'm getting to something. Even got some FB friends to join my streem and see how it looks like... #fckingdlive
STEEM Blockchain is a stage for our creativity and it will get much better in time. I hope people will not ruin it like they ruin almost every good thing..
