IDEA: Re-Engage Existing Users!
Get the Attention of Existing, Yet Inactive, Users
Currently we have approximately 118 000 users with reputation between 20 - 29 - this means that an account has been created, but has not been used - anyone who has made 2 or 3 posts, which had received even the most minimal attention, would have raised the user's reputation above 29.
Yes of course amongst this group are many of the beaten down problem children, sockpuppets and failed bots, but certainly there is approximately 50 000 or more real people sitting idle on the sidelines!
How to get them back in!?
EASY!
Getting these idle users back in the game would have the same benefit as onboarding a new user, so some effort should be made. STEEMIT Inc. has email addresses and or phone numbers for each of these individuals ...
ROBO CALL THEM!
EMAIL THEM!
If those users are not active, then that means they weren't sold on STEEM/STEEMIT, well enough - it was a sale that has yet to be closed. How to close'em?
Offer them something!
How much does it cost to onboard a new user, from zero .. from cold? Well .. send that email, make that robo call, invite them back, and give them some STEEM! Ohhhh yes, I said that .. give'em STEEM if they return and get active!!
Hello @kurtbeil .. This post has been featured in STEEMINT: The STEEM Intelligence Journal Issue # 3
thanks
Good thought @kurtbeil. They should consider this and start acting.
Question: Is there a way to merge 2 accounts to one within a family?
Unfortunately not at this time, other than delegating voting power ..which is not very user friendly. A while back I suggeated they allow " A Sockpuppet Amnesty" where such a thing would be facilitated ..but there was no discussion. :-(
They should bring such thing to the table and see how they can do. It might be beneficial for certain families.
Great post! Many of the reasons why people left is because of problems. Many of those are solved and steem is shooting, thanks @kurtbeil for realizing this
