Budget Project for Advertising Steemit ; Publication in articles online / magazines
So, i have recently been reading over a post from @jerrybanfield - which you can read here ;
https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/introducing-steem-budget-proposals
And i would like to get involved and help the community as much as possible so please keep in mind this post itself may be edited a few times to incorporate the ideas that may come up in the replies - in doing so, my project will involve making steemit more public, in respect to this i have recently started a facebook page dedicated to helping people start their own online empire and earn money in their spare time, which includes things like creating facebook shops, affiliate marketing, and will also include things like youtube and Dtube, as well as steemit !
I have seen a few steemit shops / auction services open up and i would like to see a few more that are dedicated to something, rather than just having a flea market / dollar store in steemit .
You can visit my facebook page here ;
https://www.facebook.com/SocialManagementPage/
basically any way to obtain money in doing things in their spare time, but i have also started a tag recently in hopes that people can use this information to get published in different articles, or short stories or even possibly get books published !
The tag itself is called #getpublished ;
The introduction page is found here -
https://steemit.com/introduction/@endymionoriax/get-paid-to-become-a-published-writer-introduction-to-new-tag-getpublished-links-online-looking-for-writers
My plan for this project is to see anyone that gets published can post it in the #getpublished tag, and bring attention to the steemit platform, as well as places to get published .
So in hopes that you will see how valuable this can be for the steemit community, i am currently asking for quite a large donation, and the project itself will be used for a multitude of things ;
Advertising the facebook page i have - which will also be advertising steemit in a very big way, as well as any other platform that has a potential to make money .
As well as sending out emails to a few magazines and websites to post articles for steemit as i get many in my email - weekly .
Once the flow of new steemit users comes through, i will be making sure to upvote as many new users as i can, that have used any of the services above, even some that have great potential that have not used the services above to join the steemit community .
I have seen posts that are saying SBD should be pegged to $1 ; however with the price going crazy, i feel like i should ask now, before the price goes way up again - since steem can be baught for half of what it was last week, i am willing to wait until the time suits the price, since i am fairly good at math, im sure we can come to some sort of agreement on this as well .
Everything that is going to be done with the donation will be documented on my facebook page as well as my steemit blog ; and hopefully i can use some of the donation to set up an actual website, because lets face it people ...
Steemit will kill facebook, the same way myspace died .
So with that being said - im hoping to ask for this donation in full support of the steemit community, and help the writers of the community get published, as well as advertise the community through as many sources as i can get my hands on ; here are my project ideas -
*Another thing to keep in mind that this will not be paying for projects that may arise while recruiting new users ; the projects they would like to start would need to be proposed in a manner such as this *
Step 1
- -Edit- $1,000 - SBD in order to use voting bots for those that have potential in the platform, that have an almost gurenteed dedicated follower / reader count, things like musicians, artists, writers, asking those to collaborate on the second step
- -Edit- $1,500 - Steem power delegated, in exchange for @jerrybanfield to get admin status in both facebook pages ( This way, incase facebook decided to give you any censorship issues you have a few backups for your facebook adds, in a different location ) This will be used to upvote those that i find have potential in the platform as stated above ^
Step2
Once we gather a few people to put a team together, we can start emailing bigger clients that are also going to bring in a very large follower count from their own content they already produce, things like the #getpublished tags, as well as a few other potential emails i will most likely get in the future .
- $2,500 - for outsourcing advertisement ( articles online / magazines ect. - some articles will not allow me to put my own name for recognition in their article sometimes, so im thinking a little convincing is needed, although some articles also pay for content, but they do not want it on other sources - so im also thinking they may need to be convinced to join the platform themselves )
- $5,000 - for web page to help others form their own online empire, using steemit / youtube / Dtube / Dlive and any other form of social media that could potentially earn money, as well as bring attention to this platform ; which will be paid to the developers of the web page, and linked to my facebook page, and the steemit project page . ( currently only one or two on my team with no funds it is hard to build a team )
- $5,000 - payment for future employees that would like to join the team, which will include jobs like ; writing advertisement articles, managing the web page and facebook pages ; i am also going to start a steemit community on facebook because most seem to be only about advertisement of their own posts, although this seems like a good idea, however they all seem to get flooded with posts, with no one actually checking other posts - this page will be strictly for project discussion and to boost promotion for steemit, and the projects that are discussed on the page ; and i feel like if we can get a few different pages working together like my Social management page, as well as the steemit project page i would like to create, and the upvoting pages that already exist ; things will get absolutely crazy !
https://www.facebook.com/SteemTrainProjectPage/
Just recently created ; anyone that would like to discuss future projects without the advertisement of posts, please join - if any posts are about advertisement i may set up a few admins and close the page and have people request access, which is something i do not want to do, this page should be for critical thinking and use of the knowledge .
in total all together comes to $15,000 - which if SBD is close to $13, it would make it around 1,150SBD although i am willing to wait to see if the price goes down a little bit, so that there is more to go around, or little bits at a time, so you can see this happen in steps .
*Evidence on the bot tracker = Current Prices: 1 STEEM = $3.75 | 1 SBD = $13.77
I am also willing to write up a steemit version of a small contract i have also written up a while back when i started my facebook page - i believe it may need some tweeking in order to fill out the proper necessities for this platform but im sure that can be arranged ; and i am willing to post it on my blog so that everyone can see who is involved ; what payments are to be distributed, and to where - and i hope this brings attention to the transparency of this project .
Any and all investment of course will be looking to better the community, or earn a profit to put that right back into the platform .
Everything ; and i do mean everything will be posted in regular updates on my page, as well as my steemit blog, in hopes that the transparency will give full support to this budget project .
Any major profits from the project will go right back into delegation for any future projects !
I really hope this will get as much support as possible, and if others would like to help this project please reply below and im sure we can collaborate in some way, even if you are just throwing ideas at the project, maybe a few will stick !
One of the major selling points of the advertisement projects will be the mobile app ; eSteem - seeing as i can take it anywhere, if i happen to come up on a business meeting, i will only need my phone, to show them how amazing this platform is !
If you would like to msg me personally for any answers you may have questions too ; you can do so on my facebook page that i have listed above, or you can find it in my profile in the top link ; you can also reach me on steemit chat
If anyone would like to join this project please send a reply and discuss what you can do for this project, or send me a like and a message on my facebook page at Social Management , and i will personally get back to you as soon as possible !
Thank you very much for reading, happy steaming !
Sneaky Ninja Attack! You have been defended with a 0.29% vote... I was summoned by @endymionoriax! I have done their bidding and now I will vanish...Whoosh
Thank you @endymionoriax for promoting this post together with https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/introducing-steem-budget-proposals
Andrew thank you very much for making this proposal! How can we start this with one smaller payment and then build? For example, maybe some Facebook ads and then after seeing the results, fund more Facebook ads? Paying for future employees and a website seems like a big commitment at this point that might be better to start with smaller steps first.
To be honest ; i would like to start by building a dedicated reader / follower base - for instance, a power up and then a search for new users who would like to help with this project, i believe i have two people already looking forward to some future projects that i have talked about, so i can get them on the team asap and have them search for people who would like to join the project ; once we kick that up and running, i will be emailing people that email me looking for writers ; at which point i will point everyone that i have been looking for, towards the writing for said article / post - in which case the person i email, will of course need to open their own steem account, and i can then have each of those people in the project, upvote them ; including myself - this way they get paid to not only put the advertisement up, but they also join the community and tell their readers about the community itself ; gaining them a ton of followers as well .
That would be step one i think ; step two would be to set up a team for the facebook adds and pay them accordingly so that i would not have to be doing the transfers between steemit and facebook ; i can then just send that to the page managers so they can boost their facebook posts .
As for the rest of the project, i believe more can be discussed on the social management page, or even the steemit page, because i can set up a video call for that ; i am still kind of new to the platform, but i know how valuable this project can be if done correctly, although i am not 100% fully integrated into the community as i still need a discord channel and possibly a few other things - but i feel like im getting the hang of this very quick .
And while i understand the future employees and website are just end game goals ; the first thing to do is to build a team for this ; i will be giving this link to someone whom i know is ready to help for this, and i can set them up ; as well as you sir, as an admin in both of my facebook pages so it is easier to contact .
Basically once i build a team, im going to continue to use the #getpublished tag - and pump out any and all emails that i get that are looking for writers, at that point i should have a basic 10-20 person team, which i can then hand off to the person looking for a writer, paying both ; the writer, and the editor of the article, so that it can be posted - hopefully they accept steem if they are joining the platform so that it takes less time to transfer over .
As for the team ; i can make another post about building the team and list a few names and what their jobs would be - not only that i am fairly sure i can get a few people around my own community ; who are very popular musicians to join the community and try to get them on board with the project as well .
Just to give it that extra kick - maybe we can set up a little jingle / tune for steemit to put into a commercial for an online video lol !
Just thinking out loud on that one but i think its a good idea ;
i have also watched your recent video about the person to person transaction that you would like to see evolve into this platform - and i may have an idea, although it could take a little bit of explaining, and probably done better on video chat or something like that .
BUT - i digress, that is for a different project in itself .
So i guess ; the one smaller payment, would be a powerup to upvote people that i believe would bring a great deal to the community in ways of bringing attention to the platform, and get more users into the blockchain / crypto world .
This way, anyone that has joined due to the #getpublished tag, will get upvoted or anyone that uses the tag itself to promote steemit in any way to the public .
This way, people basically have a job to do, online, which they can get paid for in a few different ways - so if it makes me the FIRST person to offer an actual " Job " with a payment plan in place, then i would love to help the community that way .
perhaps once i start looking for a team, i will make the first team for social management on the first day of the new year ; set up a team of writers or people who produce content, and send them emails of clients looking for writers ; in hopes that the clients will join the community, bringing their readers with them, paying both the writers and clients, in the form of upvotes ; some of the clients may even pay us for the information in their own articles, which we will try to push for, of course, because it will help the project even further .
Thank you very much for taking the time to read @jerrybanfield ; if you have any ideas i would be happy to discuss things as well - maybe something to help kick it off the ground before it takes flight, or maybe even a video call, possibly in the next few days ?
*Edit ; i also feel like if you become an admin in the other two pages ; you would not even need to pay the facebook ad part of this project, you could just click the button to boost a post or two yourself, so that there would not be any need for the transfer of SBD - that may be a good idea to cut the cost just a little bit i think ?
@jerrybanfield - i have edited the step one - because i dont want to see the money you would be sending, if you accept - to leave the platform .
I feel like if you would admin the pages that i have, you can post your own adds on them so that you dont see any of the steem leave the platform, since everything is basically recorded on this platform ; facebook is a little tricky sometimes, and you would probably have a better time making sure you get what you want out of the facebook ads .
This may be a little bit more helpful in the way of keeping transparency as well .
Andrew given the first step is building an audience and the main use of the proposal payment would be powered up to assist with upvotes, I think collaborating with more of the curation groups at this point and building a following on Steem would be appropriate prior to receiving funding from the budget proposals!
It is more in a sense to give some of the minnows a chance to get noticed as well ; like using the upvote bots as well, and basically explain how they work - i have been asking a few people to collaborate, i basically just need to gather what team i have been building together, and seeing what they can do together ; ontop of that, if you have a few places to spread your ads you wont get caught up in the censorship of facebook - i would be willing to set you up as an admin before any of these projects come to light, just so that you can work on your own thing much easier ; and you can use the pages i have as another source for your own ads .
I will even get a few people on the facebook pages as well so that we can start up our own messages between each other and assign people different things .
Things with me are a little bit scattered right now, due to the holidays and still being a little bit new on this platform, but i believe that my vision will bring in a number of bigger fish into this platform, which in itself will bring all of their own readers / followers .
I will assemble my team together, and further develop this and let you know, however, if you still would like that admin status on the pages, you are more then welcome to use them just in case facebook decides to give you any censorship issues ; i will be using them to gather my team as well .
It will be much easier to keep in touch this way as well ; and i have a discord channel i will probably be using it to further develop some other projects .
I will keep my eye out for the curation groups ; but i feel like it may not be right for what i have in mind .
Thank you for taking the time and reading .
This is kind of interesting, let us know the progress.
