I would like to say that this might look like a clickbait, but if you take a minute and actually watch the video - you will be amazed. I really like GaryVee and have been following him for quite a time now, his attitude and simple approach towards things is fascinating. I consider him one of the TOP influencers in social media. Today I came across this video he posted and ... wow, it was like describing the Steemit model.
Watch The Video
My Conclusion
So essentially he is saying that the best way to increase your meaningful following is to show them that you found value in their content. He suggests that you tip the content creator on Instagram with 2 cents and leave a good comment. Another thing he emphasizes on is PERSISTENCY. Notice what he said about content, it shouldn't be SPAM, the main goal is to offer VALUE to your readers. This is the way to become part of a community and add followers.
If we take everything he is saying and compare it to Steemit - AMAZING. Here on Steemit we are already preaching these values and our main focus is creating valuable content. The tipping part is already solved, but instead of 2 cents, you can earn thousands of dollars for your content. If we consider the features that will be added with the coming Hard Fork and SMT's, STEEM is set to explode.
I think currently Steemit is better than Insta/FB/Twitter, but with the changes that are due, it will become so good that it will be hard to ignore. I believe people are still unaware of the magic called - Steemit and that is the main reason we are not in the millions yet.
I am preparing an email for GaryVee, sharing with him about our community. I would love if you can help me with that, because I think together we can do a better job. My idea is to spread the word about Steemit amongst influencers. It will be an initiative that will take us to the next level ! More details will be posted soon
What a shame that GaryVee is wasting his precious time on Insta and stuff. Good luck with your efforts to bring him here. He is massive!
