Creating an amazing system is only one step to a successful solution. Even an amazing business model may not be good enough. You need user adoption.

This is key and if you want to build a social media success. You have to get user uptake, fast and wide! And this is exactly what we will do. We have a vastly experienced technology team, a number of successful entrepreneurneurs and business people to make sure we can build the system and that the business model is completely succesful. In fact we KNOW it will be so succesful that the community and the platform will be self sustaining from year 4 at the very least! But now we must start the fire.

Starting the fire

Our strategy is simple. This is first and foremost a sports community. And there are Icons and stars that our demographic, the 12-25 year old, look up to. Through bringing them on as a network of ambassadors we will be able to reach and rapidly bring young sports people into the platform. These stars typically have millions of social media followers, are in the publick eye through media and speaking opportunities. They have MASSIVE reach. And youngsters would love to associate with them. A Tendulkar or Beckham talking about the platform and why you MUST SIGN UP ... that is the task of our ambassador.

Why would an Ambassador join?

For two reasons. Firstly as sports people they are VERY aware of how loaded the dice are in sport. The challenges and manipulation you face. The corruption, theft and bullying that take place. The little you actually earn from the money you generate, and how layers of administration and sycophants siphon of the money that they make through their dedication and effort. With every top sports person we speak to we get the same response. After years of being forced to keep quiet and comply, they are first careful, then it turns to realization that they can make a difference. Step one, get them to listen has proven easy, and inspiring.

Secondly, they will be rewarded. Besides from the very few, most top sports people surprisingly have very little left after sport and need another career or source of income. SportsPodium will generate and allocate POD's to these ambassadors based on their success of growing their sporting code membership. This will not only be a share of the daily POD creation (what you earn from posting in STEEM) BUT ALSO from the part of the advertising revenue generated on the platform. In fact these ambassadors have massive brand power and networks in the corporate world, and will be able to directly drive advertising revenue.

How are we doing

Brilliantly. Our first ambassador to join was Natalie du Toit, 13 times Olympic swimming champion, Honorary Member of the British Empire, sits on the South African Olympic Committee. And through Natalie and our Sports PR star, Chris (who has represented multiple olympians over the last 20 years) we have had many very positive engagements.

Now all we need is to get the presale going, and do our funding drive to build the minimum viable product over the next few months. IT is happening guys. We are changing the sports world with crypto. But we can NOT Do this alone. We need your help. PLease support our Pre ICO now https://sportspodium.io/erc20presale/ ... you will get 1 POD extra for everyone you buy!

I was number one in South Africa in junior age groups in tennis. We had great talent in the country but no one made it to the top internationally as pros. Why? Because of money. Somehow there was just no matching up of top talent with sponsors. Some tried to emigrate. In other countries like France, they helped the guys from a young age, financially, and technically with coaching.

So we were competing against them. Even the great weather in SA (only one indoor court that I know of) couldn't help us conquer THAT obstacle! There are exceptions of course like Kevin Anderson. He went to college in the United States. Maybe a good intermediate step to get what you need. But imagine if he had gotten the right support at a younger age.

Please stay in touch...I would really like to speak with you regarding this. Follow us on twitter and I will follow back and we can DM. Just @christiansmit me in the tweet so that I get the notification as well. Thanks.

I am related to Chani Scheepers. I know what she had to do and what her parents had to go through. They literally sacrificed their lives, got no government support. I always wonder how many even less fortunate than her just disappear. I believe it is a disgrace. With what we are doing not only are we going to shift the balance of power, but we will enable sports people to take control of their lives

this is a big step in the right direction a lot of things happen in sport and are swept under the rag to make it look like sport are clean but by highlighting the ills it helps show what is wrong and help correct the wrongs, bringing in athletes who have been in the sport and understand what goes on is a step in the right direction, at least they have a fun base that can listen

Thank you for your response!
