RE: IDEAS: Speeding Up NEWBIES To #steemitisbeautiful And Strengthening Our Existing Steemit Community With "Steemit's Beauty"!
Holy smokes..! I need to read this again in the morning... you do not lack for words! I share @kevinwong's sentiments here. Could you distill the essence of this down to the bare essentials? I'm reading you want to do interviews with Steemians, two a week. I love your enthusiasm, but beyond the interview part, i'm not sure on specifics.
Yes, lovejoy, the deed was already done, when i realized that the "growth-idea post" had to be short and concise. I wrote it lengthy because i felt; if the marketing team or steemit were to read it, they will have enough interest to break it down or ask for clarity, like you just did!
The thing is, for this post to get to the main point, i needed to let it all out and cover all the scenarios.
The aspect i am hitting on isn't easily understood!
But here is what i was trying to hit on:
Since i am not very techy or know much about blockchain, i want to propose what i will heartily do in terms of joining the cause to market steemit.
As a crypto-novice who also has experience living in a developing nation and who found steemit, while looking for an internet home, a level playing field etc i feel the aspect of steemit market that involves bringing up newbies to speed and bringing steemit to the mainstream in developing nations etc is something i can help with, the most!
Too, i came on steemit like a regular internet user would and was lost in wonderland and didn't understand the whitepaper and all; and it took me months to even try the "transfer button" etc and find out the other beautiful aspects of steemit beyond earning and blogging.
As you will see in the post, i stated that i have created my small company called "the giving factory" as a result of steemit's beauty. This aspects of steemit took me months to find and it is mostly after finding this other beautiful aspects of steemit, that my conviction about the platform became unshakeable.
Now; once my conviction about steemit became unshakeable, things changed. I was passionately looking around the comments on steemit to bring newbies especially up to speed.
I was also able to convince people to join steemit and this is something i wasn't able to do before because of the hassle involved in learning many overwhelming things on steemit etc.
Now upon trying to invite new regular internet users to steemit, it became easier than i could have imagined and this is because of my experience with steemit, how i have come to understand steemit and how i explained it to people. Also, my conviction about steemit is clearer.
Specifics is simple but i was leaving it for the proposal part. Yes, to start with, it will be interviews in a post but this interviews will have a very big twist!
First, i am choosing interviews as it will not require much resources and can start asap. Interviews will be "a set".
One set covering steemians who started out as regular internet users!
The other set celebrating newbies and helping them see within the interviews, "the beauty of steemit".
However, both sets will answer one or two steemit FAQs in ELI5 manner!
This is just a start!
In other parts of the post, i was trying to explain, that it is indeed easy to bring in regular internet users to steemit and especially, users in developing nations to steemit but a lot of that will involve strengthening our conviction in the platform, then passionately speeding up new ones, to the information they need to thrive.
I was also trying to explain with illustrations and testimonies; that how people in developing countries use the internet and their expectations from the internet, is different from the internet users in develop countries or enabling environment!
I love your perspective and all you're doing. A+ on the team you've chosen as well, I think I you have a really good grasp on the people in this community and what their respective talents are. I would write more now, but it's 2:24 am here.. so it's time for sleep, but thanks for the clarifying thoughts. I'll check back in when the sun is back overhead. Cheers, b
Yes, please do! Sleep well! We will certainly talk later. If it gets to the proposal stage it will be concise and explanatory. Because this is the idea part, i just let go, so there is no border! Thank you again!
