I have seen a lot of articles about Steemians marketing Steemit on Facebook, Twitter and other social media. Now all those are commendable. But in addition to that, let’s remember the principle of
“charity begins at home”.
How many of your family members are on STEEMIT?
Come to think of it, if every Steemian here should persuade just one family member to join Steemit today, that will mean doubling the membership in one day. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
However, I know it may not be that easy, but if STEEMIT has added any value to your life, you could use that as testimony to get them interested. When I started blogging on STEEMIT newly, I told my family members about it, but they thought I was crazy, and that’s understandable. Their reason for disbelieve over Cryptocurrencies wouldn’t be far-fetched from the activities of MMM in Nigeria. Cryptocurrency was first introduced to most Nigerians by MMM and many people lost their (I lost mine too) money to scheme, and so many people really do not want to hear about Cryptocurrencies here again. I have tried to explain to them that they’ll get paid for doing what they are currently doing on Facebook and other social media. They asked in what currency they’ll be paid, when I told them Cryptocurrency, they all got discouraged. But recently, I solved a need with my activity here and it attracted their attention. My aunt registered two days ago and two of my friends have also joined STEEMIT. If only the estimated 30 million Nigerians on Facebook can come on STEEMIT, I’m sure that will mean a major boost.
Convincing family members to join steemit may not be an easy task, nonetheless, even if they refuse it outrightly, never give-up. Sooner than you think they’ll accept it and be glad you introduced them to it.
You may have more difficulties persuading elderly ones to join STEEMIT. Go ahead and tell this to the youth around you as they are the ones mostly involved with online transactions. Let them see the future STEEM has. Also introduce them to busy.org in case they can't easily get by the STEEMIT interface.

I posted about Steem on Facebook. Some of my friends are interested but don't have time yet to use it.

I made my sister join steemit and it wasn't difficult at all bringing her here but I had a very hard time trying to convince my dad and he still doesn't believe in steemit (He thinks I'm crazy :p). I even made a post about it recently.
Steem on! :)
Wow! great job @elishagautam, as for your Dad? he may still join later. I'll check your post.
Challenge accepted. Im shouting off the rooftops with mixed results. sooner or later.... sooner is better
Really? Best of luck @blackvapor
yes, great idea. My wife does great pictures with her iphone and I will try my best.
Is there any app you recommend for an easy use on the iphone?
@detlev, Steemians are presently working towards having a mobile App for Steemit. Busy.org is easier to use for now.
Thanks, I will give it a test and do an install of the app to her smartphone....
It doesn't have a mobile app for now, but will be available soon.
You're assuming they listen to me.
Funny...
Most of my family know about steemit! I told them after my first reward! Most of them thought I was losing my time and that I should only focus on studying for university... But my mom believed in me! And she is here @josmary also I got a friend to join @fakj94 and I will update with another three friends that are soon joining ! :D
Hubby lurks here and upvotes me from time to time. I am trying to get my son to join, he writes amazing sci fi. And I have shared my blog on fb trumpeting my steem dollars so far....we will see
Yes, my family members are @jacor @naomi.louise @bigbear here on Steemit. My brother actually got me to join, and I convinced my mom to join!
A couple of friends have signed up :)
