RE: I read a post asking the users to justify "Why SteemIt isn't a Waste of Time"

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

But ultimately, if you look at people talking about Steemit, you'd think that the only thing that separates Steemit from everything else is the "get paid" part. You'd think that without the payments it's just another Facebook clone. Ultimately, when you advertise it as "make posts and get paid" ,people are going to expect to get paid. So if you don't want those kinds of users, don't make that your only punchline. Advertise about the non-censorship, talk about the guilds for new users, talk about the growth that it has had in the last 2 months.

Sort:  

There hasn't been an official SteemIt marketing team. The community can't stop users from posting "get paid". There are pros and cons to decentralization.

Hmm, you're right. Although in that case, I think Steemit should have a marketing team.
IMO Marketing isn't really something that should be decentralised. Steemit needs a single, clear , consistent voice.
