Communities, Projects and Members all need to work together to build.
Finding one place to connect people once you raised interest is http://steemonboarding.com/ @anomadsoul site looks good with videos for people to get an idea before entering.
Found Communities now working on SteemPeak thanks to @abitcoinskeptic for assistance. Once Members are settled they will start to share I am sure, many are reluctant to open additional accounts when new to social media platforms.
"I am saying we need to educate and inform people about Steem…"
Feeling is mutual, Steem will grow after bumpy ride last year, outsiders looking into the platform need concise direction, followed by assistance in communities, to make a platform grow it has to happen externally and internally in a streamlined way.
Personally I have found Steem platforms a little "helter skelter" in finding, testing, using platforms, then you have the coins and tokens, this is after getting your head around key codes and security issues., No steem is not an easy platform for beginners, people need to be involved and all those you mentioned are performing to meet that end along with many others.
yes precisely Joan! But we will get there. The more people like me, you and the rest of those shouting from the rood tops continue to do so, the more it will change. All a process.
Been at social media since 2008, you always find a handful of willing members who will share, a vast majority shy away. Hopefully times change soon, keep doing what we doing it must rub off eventually.
Yes agreed and I am a firm believer in the power of persistence haha!
