Wow! With that kind of instant upvote power, I would be thrilled to be here too...
I liked most of the second half of your post, specifically where you discuss how to present Steemit in schools to the youth!
One-time votes and enticing anyone to join Steemit with money as the primary incentive will not be a sustainable business model. In order to have continuous and sustainable growth,
- We need to have people join #steemit who are willing to contribute to the community by interacting with other members (especially new members).
- We need to have people who are creating original and interesting content, more than "How to make $$ on Steemit".
- We need people who care about the platform and actually read the Steem White Paper (or at minimum, the FAQ Page).
- We need people who are going to support others selflessly (Donating from your wallet is a very nice gesture. I'm afraid it may send the wrong message in some cases though).
Interesting ideas!
Yes! Great points. And an upvote like that, gives you are ton of responsibilities. These things aren't said though, cos the major measure of value is on the blog post. So i am glad you looked past that. This post was majorly to talk to an audience of people, who are currently growing steemit by inviting people from colleges and it is out to teach them new ways to go about it. The right kind of audience is essential like you mentioned. In the long term, steemit has a way of directing people into loving it!
I completely agree! As long as we start off with the message where Steemit is a fun and exciting new way to imagine a social network, and provide all of the interesting concepts aside from money as the first pitch, ending with the potential to earn money, I think the user base will grow much faster and stay active for longer!
I believe The money side should be considered more of an "investment" as opposed to how someone might be paying their Day-to-day bills. "Steemit, the next big crypto currency where you can invest in your future by investing in yourself, and making friends along the way!"
Great post
You seem to write very short comments to various posts, then provide yourself with a self-upvote. Your upvote percentage is over 50%, which means that you do share some rewards with others, but overall, your interaction on Steemit is limited to simply voting on your own content.
Looking at your wallet, you seem to "re-invest" all of your steem into voting bots to augment your post values.
Why do you bother spending so much time voting on yourself for such small rewards?
Sweet. This covers it. Real thanks!
