This logic is sound, I promise you, just read and find out why. It's a proven strategy to gauge how successful #Steemit is going to be. I'll walk you through it.
Proof: My girlfriend signed up after 1 day of hearing about it, but never used Bitcoin after hearing about it for years. Bitcoin is too hard and too much effort for her and most other people as well. Bitcoin is like the nerds cryptocurrency at this point in time. Steemit could change that. And it's well on its way, I've never seen this many non crypto users flood into any crypto project, not even Bitcoin. I've watched for 5 years.
Feel free to show her what steemit is all a bout folks: She doesn't post bland steemit content like some of us but rather her real interests, which sadly are in unpopular categories: https://steemit.com/@lovenugz

Do you want to be sure this project is going to be successful but you don't understand the markets, trade crypto currency, mining Bitcoins or any of that crazy nerdy stuff? We'll I've got the perfect metric for you. The girlfriend & friend metric.
The Girlfriend, Friends & Family Metric goes as follows:
How many times have you tried to explain technology to people just to have their eyes glaze over 10 minutes into you discussing subjects you never intended to, but somehow stumbled into trying to cover the basics of economics or how a battery works?
We'll I've got good news for you, just go tell you girlfriend/boyfriend/friend/mother/father the following, and they will sign up 10 minutes later:
1. Explain them how Reddit (upvoting/downvoting) and/or Facebook works and how both of these companies make millions upon millions of dollars for people using these websites.
2. Tell them that people are getting paid hundreds and thousands of dollars for blogging on a new social media platform that just came out 2 months ago, and it isn't owned by anyone person.
3. Tell them it is an open source project, which means no one owns it and its built for the masses, instead of the interests of a single entity.
4. Tell them the price has exploded 1200% in a few days and they can start earning $5-$200 dollars for just writing interesting content about their lives, life lessons, skills and so on, and there is alot of people saying the price will keep rising higher.
5. Tell them they could easily make a few hundreds bucks simply by posting a quality intro, with a few images and a proper "introduceyourself" hashtag, watch their eyeballs widen, then help them sign up. Then remind them to post their genuine interests and more money could/will come.
6. After they start earning, learning Bitcoin will be a breeze, trust me. There is now incentive to learn how to get a Bitcoin debit card, a bitcoin wallet. Let's just hope Steem wallets and debit cards come out asap! Multiwallets I'm looking @ you guys! (exodus.io / jaxx.io /coinomi)
The proof is in the pudding, get out there and show people Steemit folks!
oh and here's a picture of myself, @lovenugz and Snoop Dogg just because I don't have an image for this post lol! ;] I hope he signs up soon... Oh yea we were inside of Emerald Haze Recreational Store in Renton, Washington when we met him if anyone cares lol.

I wonder if we can ask Mr. Snoop Double GG to join us on Steemit.
my friend, unc's name is snoop dogg, not snoop gg.
Some BREAKING news! https://steemit.com/steemit/@burmik123/breaking-news-of-steemit
It is Interesting.
I couldn't grab his number lol: https://steemit.com/life/@thedashguy/that-one-time-i-met-snoopdogg-and-he-changed-my-life but one day I hope we'll see him on here! He loves social media!
Well my bf already got me over here . So I guess you'd be right. ;-)
i will get my GF on this by tommorrow :-D
Right on. No matter who I've spoken to about Steemit, they've been very interested in learning more and trying it out. Can't say the same for any other crypto I've been involved with over the past few years.
That's funny just finished telling my girl about Steemit and saw your post hahaha. What can I say your 100% right I got her to Join!
Can confirm this 100%. Only discovered this 48 hours ago and sure enough, after explaining similarly, everyone I've raved on to about it has gone and checked it out themselves. This thing is gonna change lives. I'm just so excited to be on board!
I hope steemit been spreading the word and people do seem to be more open to learning this.
This is actually the first blockchain project I've really wanted to spread and see succeed (besides btc). My skepticism of alt-coins and pump and dumps after years in this space made me miss out on the earliest days, but shit happens .. This is also the first one that I've talked my partner @krystle into using :)
Steemit is a project with a point rather than just transfering value. I like it so far but only been here for a day. :)
My dad wants to join steemit
Things are not so simple, as you described. Father\mother and all my friends are so tied of facebook\twitter\reddit\livejournal\other_social_network.. "Another social network?" They said to me. "And is there anyone of my friends already?" And what i can advice them? What they should sign for? For making money? They are already making money the way they doing it last several years. For content? Where is it? Only "Hello steemit" and so.. A long list of features they already have in other place - is under deep development yet and while it is not implemented - steemit will remain only the very new social project for geeks
I got my 75yrs dad to use it daily 😂
I can agree that it's not so simple. You need to explain to them that its 100% free to sign up, but you earn money for doing simple tasks. You can even over exaggerate to make the process easier. :)
I have to admit, #TheGirlfriendTest works - except in reverse. My wife turned me on to Steemit, and I'm usually the tech-savvy one in our relationship!
... wait. Does this make me the Girlfriend??
Hahaha...my bf convinced me to join steemit, he is very persuasive
This is exactly what I was just sharing with someone. The power of social sharing will be the growth catalyst of Steemit. Thanks for your thoughts.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I noticed that indeed it is really impressive that more and more people that were resisting to listen about crypto and blockchain are felt in love with Steemit. I guess when you show people what you can do with it, their attitude shifts, which is awesome. I truly believe in this project, and you have a fabulous girlfriend as well. Wish you guys all the best and lots of fun together :)

I have been spreading the word and people do seem to be more open to learning this!! Love the steeeeeem
My test is when my co-workers ask about something. They are the ones who asked me about Bitcoin, but only when it was at $900 and climbing. When one of them asks me about Steemit--that's when I know we're on the way to the moon.
This is crazy ! sounds almost too good to be true, but it's for realz !! :D
Thanks for the suggestions !
I'm trying to get my friends and girlfriend to sign up myself. So far I've almost got the gf to post a few of her recipes she has posted on Pinterest.
Thank You Steemit!!!
Excellent summary of the key points for pitching steemit
I am building an app / website around STEEM https://steemit.com/proposals/@kingjohal/steemstarter-campaign-steem-android-wallet-nfc-tap-and-pay-integration
My wife joined but hasn't posted yet. She also does not have Bitcoin account
Thanks for the explanation how this works.
This is awesome. I told my wife to get on here asap! Thanks for the article, good info!
True, I've been in crypto for a while now and I've never come across anything quite like Steemit. It doesn't matter how old you are, anyone can jump right in and have fun reading blogs and posting while making some money. It's pretty amazing really :)
in steemit I was invited by my friend, and I thank him for that
