RE: "60 Seconds of Steem" - Launching A Crowdsourced Marketing Campaign on DTube & Calling For Video Ad Creators! > $1,000 Steem in Sponsored Prizes
Another part of 10x thinking is that unforeseen events always happen. Here are two probable scenarios that I can foresee, I can’t imagine what the ones we can’t already foresee are, but I’m sure they’ll be big.
Say this leads to a really successful marketing campaign. One, there is still the issue of account creation. As far as I know, it still isn’t fixed. Yes, we can personally help people make accounts by paying for them, but who do people contact for such a service? Are people willing to spend their own Steem to provide that service? Can we attach credits to the winning videos that promote account creation services and contacts?
Two, this campaign is successful and interested people find the trending page. What will they do then? Can we finally deal with the trending page in a month?
Maybe two other questions to ask are how do we avoid these problems, and how can we turn them to our advantage? Any thoughts?
There’s a great initiative called @steemonboarding you may want to check out. One of my ideas was to somehow connect the two of them: the campaign and the onbaording site - e.g. including a link at the end of the promo ad or adding it when linking the ad on Twitter etc.
I agree that it’s important to provide people with a helping hand in the beginning and direct them towards their favorite communities.
Regarding the Trending Page: Steem is not Steemit. Why would we even focus on the latter? The campaign goal is to promote Steem, not Steemit. The landing page may be rather this one here: https://steem.com/
Happy weekend 🤙
I’ll have a look at steeminboarding, thanks. I understand the difference between promoting Steem and Steemit, but with Steemit still seeming like the flagship, I sometimes view it as this iceberg that’s in the way; and with icebergs, they are always bigger than they appear.
I better understand what you’re working towards now. And I see that you’re talking in first, second, and third steps too. That’s great!
