RE: Get Paid Not Pwned - the Power of Slogans.

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Get paid not pwned - only internet savvy geeks understand pwned. So you cut out a whole bunch of people as they just won't get it.

That's the thing. People don't necessarily need to understand it. Sometimes creating curiosity is better than just explaining everything because it gets people asking questions.

Against censorship - you should never use a slogan that is against something. The whole connotation is negative if you do that.

I understand what you're saying. I'm not sure how it could be put positively though.

A penny for your thoughts
We value you
Get social, get paid

Great ideas. I love the "Penny for your thoughts" idea.

We don't necessarily have to use the slogan(s) that I have chosen. If someone comes up with a better one that people like more we can use that:)

Sort:  

Actually, "Penny For Your Thoughts" is shrewd because it lowers expectations coming in. That was the trouble with the hard-sell approach that seemed to have been used earlier: it set expectations too high, which inevitably caused frustration.

Yes it is clever and light hearted too.

Instead of against censorship you might have something like

  • free your mind, free your pen, free your voice
  • freedom is a state of steeming
  • untamed voices of the world, united in freedom

or something better ;-)

Cool. I like your thinking. Great ideas.

My favourite is "Free your voice" - sounds awesome (no pun intended).

I could envision that as being in a TV commercial and on billboards

I might have a go with doing some mockups if that is OK with you just as examples even if we don't use them?

I'll give it a few days to see if people come up with more first then we could make a list and let people choose their favourite.

Sure :-)
Feel free to use any of my ramblings if you think it will help.

You are being too harsh on yourself:)
