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..
