Thanks for sharing this @jerrybanfield. Unfortunately I'm not great at writing about these types of stories, even though I have a few.
Although, my brother is an excellent writer (he is currently writing his own book) and Graphic designer and I have finally convinced him to join Steemit, so this might be a great way for him to make his debut. I will let him know!
I have been trying to contact you over my new project that I am running - I am trying to move my work to Steemit full time and I have been spending the last week or two developing an incubator for absolute beginners on Steemit. All in all, my project aims to 1) Bring more users to Steemit through advertising and 2) Create more daily active users by giving them access to beginner's guides, Graphic Design help (which my brother has said he will help out with), the manual curation of posts (I will try to find 5-10 posts per day from new, undervalued users) and monthly competitions for beginners, and more.
I know that you run some very successful advertisements for Steemit, so I would naturally really like to work with you. I work in ICO consultancy at the moment (PR and Marketing, and a bit of everything else!) and have previously worked in corporate marketing too. I think it makes more sense to combine efforts, rather than work separately.
I have prepared a small presentation on the projects plan, but anyway I would really like to talk more about it and thanks for all of the work you do! What is the best way to contact you?
Luke thank you for helping me see this is relevant to you through your brother and I hope the contest provides a good way for him to know he has at least a few good upvotes coming his way upon joining!
The best ways to contact me are explained at https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/ with comments on Steem being a very effect way to reach me for free with a comment while my partners channel on discord is the best place to actively collaborate with me on a daily basis!
Thanks Jerry, and he is excellent at what he does, so I can see him doing well when he gets here and this should help!
And perfect, I will get on to you there. Are you interested in working together on such campaigns? As I said I'm trying very hard to move to Steemit full time with a goal of growing the community in daily active users and content quality, get SP delegations so that I can upvote high quality content that does not get many views, and I have a personal goal of growing my SP while (hopefully) earning about 100-150 STEEM per week so that I can sustain myself while working here to grow the community. Thanks for getting back to me, so can I contact you to potentially work on some of this or to tell you more about it anyway?
Members of my partner program and inner circle at https://jerrybanfield.com/partners/ have the best access to collaborate with me and consistently are producing amazing results from working together like @joeparys and @tomasgeorge!
Okay perfect, thank you! To be honest I'm tied up money wise at the moment, and am trying to put as much in to Steemit as possible, so I will not be joining, but maybe in the future.
I will work on my own campaigns for now, as I would prefer to put my money in to campaigns that grow the community, but best of luck with it and I'm glad you have a lot of partners!
If you're still interested in collaborating otherwise, let me know and can talk over email or something similar, as I really am trying To Help the community and feel it would be a shame if the opportunity To Help Steemit grow wasn't supported.
I am happy to hear that! The goal of the partner system is to place a barrier to entry that eliminates the majority of potential opportunities while allowing those most excited through because I have very limited space for any new collaborations and now do not use my decision making ability on who to start joint ventures with!
Oh don't get me wrong I think it's a great system to have and I would do the exact same in your position! But as I am only starting out I am still unsure of How To best allocate my funds.
For joining the partner program, 1) Can I pay in STEEM? And 2) Is it a monthly rolling contract? As I would be interested in joining and seeing what it is like for sure. I really want to get this project supported, and if that's what it takes then I'll do just do that - again I'm really aiming to grow the platform and grow to working full time on Steemit, so I will do what it takes!
Luke yes $49 USD worth of payments in Steem and SBD are accepted monthly via @jerrybanfieldroi with no contract along with lifetime payments of $999 for USD.
Okay perfect, thank you!
