RE: We Are Promoting Steem All Wrong

in #steemit7 years ago

I think we also have to stop promoting in a an unrealistic way. Many people will be consumers, like youtube , not everyone who enjoys a platform has to be financially supported by it. By promoting it in that way we attract 1. desperate people who want to post vomit there way to income and 2. People with money who want to cram themselves down our throat. If we promote it in a more balanced way, then we will attract smaller investors who find artists they like to support, like an etsy or twitch .

Sort:  

Yes! I totally agree! I just don't think many people know that someone in Nigeria can live off a few small upvotes a day! And until now, that wasn't even a reality! I think Steemit has become a UBI for many people and I know that's not what @ned originally intended, but it's a pretty sweet result! :)

Aaaabsolutly ! I love that fact :)

But as far as the first world part of it, yes, artists should know that it's a net not a trampoline and investors the same. We could do well with a bit more balance!

Are you a Nigerian?

No, but I have many Nigerian friends on here that I follow and talk to! They have told me how Steemit has changed their life. It has changed mine too!

It can change your life here in Nigeria because 50SBD each month is equivalent to your monthly salary in some establishment.

I want to ask for your opinion on how to make it here on steemit? Have been sharing positive post here on steemit with the aim of encouraging / motivating people to propel in life but I don't have the audience.
I comment , replies, post daily but no progress
