RE: Using Social Media to Attract Engagement on STEEM
From my own experience talking about steem, I have discovered that many find it hard to understand the concept of blockchain technology and crypto. Most of the active users of other social platforms are below 30 with little or no interest in investment. So that is why I would like dapps like steemmonster to be the face of the blockchain and for other reasons too.
Firstly, it is fun. That is the language of the masses. If it is fun then it doesn't matter if they get paid or not. We often think finance gains is the ultimate incentive but it is not and the facts are there for all to see. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter run on an attention economy. Likes and followers are the value these platforms give and essentially they are fun.
The ease of entry. Although to play a game like steemmonster you need to buy cards, however, this eliminates the stress of creating a free account, which is one of the fundamental problems of this platform. It's hard to get people and even money into the system. I think this should be the primary objective of steemit inc, to solves these issues.
Talking about steem is great but getting people to join is the hard part and this is as a result of some of the things I have mentioned.

Indeed, imagine seeing a Steemmonsters commercial on television showing how gaming is monetised on Steemit etc... Commercials about the 400+ dApps already developed etc... if only
If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
Hopeful we will go beyond wishful thinking and start taking the necessary steps to take this platform to where it should be

Indeed some of us without @ned kind of money are trying very hard to make this succeed!
And it will be a success because it does not depend on him alone to make the decisions to make this platform move forward. I hope to start proffering solutions and creating ideas that will move this platform forward. But first, I need to achieve my major goal for now--become a minnow.
