RE: Delivering a 5 week steemit course to promote the platform in Wales - anyone done anything similar?
Amazing idea, really! The kids can pick this up faster than we might think.. and what great opportunities they will have, which are probably quite limited in Wales.
My best advice would be to do whatever it takes to make it free. I say this for a few reasons, and i believe will make this much more likely to suceed, and will remove the tension around people having paid something.. i think u could fund it from steemit upvotes and perjaps just ask for donations on top.. donations work best for this kind of thing in think...
Anyone who joins and does well WILL remeber u im sure!
Very best of luck!
The idea that Steemit could fund it surely has to be the proof of concept for taking the course! Wonderful way to market what would a free course and then make it all available on Steemit? More bloggers, more votes more Steem?
Sounds like a good plan.
Yes it will be good to make it free if possible. The total cost is likely to be around £150+ - manageeable with some good upvotes.
The only risk with that is if people don't turn up - I have had that happen before for free courses. I wouldn't want to waste the spaces. I'll have to have a think on that.
This training is part of starting to build a local steemit community here. If we could get say 100 people on steemit in and around this one small Welsh market town the impact could be quite significant.
That is doable I think with a town and hinterland population of c 3000.
I have been talking with some local community activists and they are getting very excited for the potential of this.
I hear u about the risk of empty space, but the notion of free money and bitcoin in the promotions should do the trick.. esp if its free!
My life lessons taught me to keep it simple, so by making it free u vastly simply the whole deal.. unwill be the steemit guru of Wales and get lots of support.. more so if u make it free.. i think!
Yes keeping it simple is a must. You've sold me on this.
Hopefully steem keeps up 😊
Bravo! Ill support u for starters! Great descicion for all!
👍
Finally! I think the atmosphere will change when its free, and will much more joyus and in tune with the Steemit way! No charge for entry, Steemit pays for it all!!!
Make it a free course and sell it to the Welsh communities who really need this!
That is a very good line...
