Yesterday, I was offered a Leadership position with @Platforms.

As many of my regular readers already know, I'm all about stackin' my plate high, and adding as much value to this network as I can, wherever I can. This position with @platforms should satiate my need to do a little bit of everything, and allow me to broaden my network and influence.

So, what is @Platforms?

Platforms is a team of dedicated community builders, wholly focused on bringing attention to, and laying a strong foundation for, your project or initiative.

The best idea on Steemit will still stagnate without an active community to support it, but trying to find an audience for your project can take a lot of time away from the real work that needs doing. We will lighten your workload, taking on the task of building your community/following, allowing you to put in the work required to develop your idea.

Platforms can help managers in many different ways, from writing promotional content, to building a Discord server, developing a website, or even creating a new bitshares token for your project!

The Platforms Discord Server is our base of operations!

This finely tuned chat server is the power source of the Platforms repertoire of services. On the front-end, the server is a shining example of the types of things we are capable of doing within a Discord for your project. On the-back end, this server is incredibly sorted and organized, offering every member of the team every bit of information needed to conduct various operations in real-time. Communication is key with any remote collaboration, and this team takes communication to a whole new level, and I like it!

This is one of the things that appealed to me so much about Platforms in the first place. These dudes are pros. I can definitely learn a lot from them about how a project is meant to be managed and organized. I am truly humbled to be working with them.

The server is optimized for engagement. Holding regular giveaways, bounties, and contests, the Platforms Discord server rewards people for staying active, which keeps eyes on the numerous projects we facilitate, and gets our growing audience talking and posting about the communities we build. Will yours be one of them?

One of the most common rewards is Platforms Tokens, but you can also win a seat on the @moonbot just for being the most active person in our server every month!

PLATFORMS Tokens are our way of giving back, and encouraging the growth of the projects we work with!

This Bitshares asset exemplifies the type of things the team is able to do to help raise funds and awareness for your project. The PLATFORMS token is available in DEX markets like bitshares or openledger for BTS, and is regularly given away for participation in various events. Holders of this token receive numerous benefits that encourage long-term holding.

Every month, a portion of the our earnings will be distributed among PLATFORMS holders who have verified their bitshares account with us.

Whenever our team helps set up a new asset, we request an early stake in that asset. This stake is both to compensate our team for their work, as well as create a means to incentivize engagement with the new project. Token holders and active members of our community receive some of those new tokens for free!

I can't wait to start helping you shine a light on your idea!

My first official act as a member of the Platforms team will be to find two new ideas to put on a path to success! If you have a great idea for a Steem project, community, app, or initiative, give us an "elevator pitch" in the comments below!

I'll be choosing my two favorite project ideas, and personally bringing them into the Platforms system. Those who are chosen will be (I was planning on giving away 100 to each of my favorite ideas, then @rishi556 said he would give an extra 1000 to each!)

Come join our Discord, share your idea, support fledgling projects, and earn a stake!
