RE: A simple trick on how to raise awareness of Steemit on other platforms such as Reddit
@acidyo I think we should work on user retention levels first. As new accounts are being made everyday but most of the new users leave the platform within a month. This is really alarming.
If we are able to retain new users then they will tell 10's of their friends about the platform and the community will automatically grow. And everybody knows that word of mouth is the most powerful. But if new users are leaving the platform, there is a huge possibility that they may spread negativity about the platform.
Why new user leave after a few days is a completely different question. There are a huge lot of different reasons for that, but the biggest is that posts by minnows are not getting any audience, even if they write some good posts.
I wrote a complete post about this topic, and if anyone is interested, they may go to my profile and read my most recent post. I didn't include the link here as then people would think that i am spamming. Thank you for reading.
Good comment. I came and left (not like THAT you dirty minds haha) but yeah seriously I came and went and came and went, often having months where I didn't read or post anything... so retention is a big thing.
My personal reason at first was because I saw what seemed like average posts making lots of money when I and many others weren't making much at all. I now am here for the long haul but not because of financial rewards at all but because I've found people and communities, challenges and such that keep me interested. Now I don't think about reward at all and to be honest the rewards are so small if that was my goal I'd be better off just doing more hours at work.... 20 cents for spending 4 hours on a piece of art to share or $40 an hour at work, not a tough choice.
Also it's a bit hard to understand, the Steemit system and crypto in general. People aren't going to stay if all the top articles are always about Bitcoin and crypto if they can't understand it nor if they are putting hours of their life into and not getting much out of their time be it financial, spiritual, knowledge, pleasure, friendships or whatever each case may be.
It's a shame and I hope they can figure it out or someplace like Reddit might come along and make a Redditcoin and then Steemit really has no chance.
edit: I will read your post, sounds interesting and worthwhile
Many may come to Steemit hoping for money. A look at the big rewards-earning posts may lead to the conclusion: This is easy. And they don't know that it's just the top 0.01%. As in real life.
And for many steemit seems a place to post and not so much to read. And to post articles written by other people. Indi ates: early days. 1990s internet.
I agree with several of the points you raised in this comment. First of all, bringing awareness that Steemit is a valuable platform outside of Facebook and Twitter. Both of those seem to be censoring or ghost banning independent, alternative voices. I am well aware of Google censorship and don't use the search engine any longer because of this. Personally, I decided to do a public campaign to draw more users over here to Steemit, even though my account has little to no audience right now. It's sad that many users stop posting here because their content isn't getting attention. I know exactly where they're coming from because it is disappointing to say the least when you right out comments and blogs and no one seems to be hearing a thing you're saying.
yes you are right and we can help eachothers by doing well

also we can do will with steemit as people sugeess
I urge users to share their links more on Reddit in the relevant subreddits. Some of them may have weird names on Reddit, but many are similar to the tags we use here as well. I will be regularly checking on posts through the domain link above that get some good attention and views from Reddit to curate them more fairly on Steemit.
Best part about this is that you will also increase your engagement to your posts both from comments here and on Reddit.
Steemit activity has been increasing steadily lately. With coinmarketcap at a ridiculous traffic rank of already and the Steem currency hovering around rank it brings a lot of attention to our platform. Steemit Traffic stats show that it's at the rank right now and rising. Google trends can also confirm this with this chart over the last
and also we can do great steemit as people said by steemit by reply upvotes and others said as
