My Friends Posted for Free on Vacation, and I Payed for my Plane Ticket // Evangelizing the Power of Steem
Hi Friends!
This trip I had a lot of fun chatting with my friends about the power of the Steem blockchain. There were a few people in the group I didn't know, and when they asked me what I did, I responded that, "My day job is X...but I'm a vlogger". This was the FIRST time I had ever said this aloud or identified in that way. It felt like a pretty exciting moment for me.
They are all very successful women in the world of business and naturally had a lot of questions once I started explaining how the Steem blockchain works.
They Posted on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat... I Posted on Dtube and Steepshot
One of the most striking parts of our conversations were when I pointed out the fact that we have all been creating content this weekend. When I asked if they got payed for creating posts for those mainstream social media sites - the idea seemed a little ridiculous!
When I pointed out the fact that I have literally payed for my plane ticket by creating content for crypto based social media sites like Dtube and Steepshot...it was pretty eye opening.
Because the are all very educated and intelligent - they had a lot of pointed questions about what blockchain means and how everything works. I'm not the most technical person, and so this really helped me sharpen my skills at explaining things.
We are the Best Brand Ambassadors for Steemit
I've said this before, but I really think it is true. We talk about mass adoption like it is this big thing out of our control. If we all focus on onboarding a few people around us - that is going to be more powerful than any big marketing campaign.
I would just encourage everyone to be willing to put themselves out there a little and share this amazing place with their friends and family.
Goodbye Vacation
Alright guys... I leave for the airport in an hour and so this is the last sunny, vacation vlog you'll see from me! I thought last night would be the last one, but we ended up having a few more hours than I thought this morning and have just been taking it easy on the deck this morning.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and I'll chat with you when I'm back up in WA State!
xo, Lea

Great anecdotal story girl! Funny enough this is how conversations with my friends usually go lol. "Hey yeah I've been making decent money with a reddit or facebook typed social media platform where you get paid to produce good content instead of getting likes." The general response: "Huh" "Or that's cool". I agree spreading Steemit by word of mouth is better than a marketing campaign. I have gotten two friends who were super into the idea of Steemit and joined. But have only posted a couple of posts. It's going to be tough to get people to join Steemit AND stay engaged! Nevertheless, I can't wait to see your next post about your FREE trip. I'm following you now! :)
That's amazing Lea! Although, it's always a tricky conversation depending on how receptive people are. I guess it will take a bit of time, but one day it will all be fairly normal! :)
I totally agree with you, share Steemit with a few people at a time and let it grow organically.
Vacation seems non ending but I’d definitely end. Welcome back from vacation smiles. Facebook is a waste of time for We business minded people. Steemit is the future of social platform using the power of smart media token ... tokenizing the internet compared to Facebook and others. Dtube replaced youtube you know and that’s the way it is
looks like u have lot of fun in this vacation keep it up
Way to go. I am talking about Steem on Facebook groups that have to do with Youtube or influencer marketing through social media. Planting seeds because the more that people hear about it, the more seriously they will take it.
Agree love steemit
thanks for spreading the word about Blockchain platforms, we really do need more engagement to transform the internet into a place where people can actually have control over their Data and Finances.
