How To Effectively Use The Promoted Section

in #suggestions8 years ago (edited)

I was reading through the posts and comments about this new section both yesterday and today. My initial thought when I read in the comments that advertisers could pay for an ad there..... I had a hard time with. I am not one to let things go very easily, so I kept thinking about it. What would it need to work.

What If...

Part of what's wanted for this to grow as a success is to have some crypto acceptance. Acceptance and ease of spending.

So what if we approached a company, say Subway. We offer them our platform to advertise on, and what we ask for in return is the ability to spend SBD there.

Have them select a few locations in areas that have little clusters of Steemit users, and we get those locations set up with the ability to be paid in steem dollars.

It can be kept simple, even having it settled and closed in fiat daily. It not only starts to create that marketplace, it also will generate awareness in the areas it is available in.

Just a thought

That's a really good idea:)

I thought so, feel free to repost yourself with graphics.... I kinda tumbled it out there. It's a practical application for it though, and if they see business from it..... it just can start a domino effect

Yep I like it ... can it be Valerie's Patisserie instead of Subway though :)

lol. I used subway as an example with a couple thoughts.... widespread global locations..... and also their last spokesman was a pedophile.... figured they're probably open to options
