thanks @ricko66 for doing what you do. You see, most of the problem is not theirs but ours. Everytime we use the rewards as the first thing to introduce people to steemit, they want to be sure it is not a ponzi scheme and that they will really make money. The approach we which we introduce steemit will really encourage willing participation, that is why we need to use the right approach. Many people spend many hours on other social media sites without pay, tell them to spend all or half as much as that time on steemit, socializing, then see what happens next.
you guys are doing a great job @ricko66, keep it up. soonest, many people will regret why they didnt join the community the first time they heard about it. just keep doing what you do and in no time you will translate an entire community. thanks alot
