STACH Membership registration is open. How to join and what to expect.
Hello Friends.
@ejemai here for STACH. It has been a very amazing time creating, developing and subsequently completing the first Physical Steem Accelerator Hub in the city of Port Harcourt Nigeria and to say we are excited is just playing it lightly, we are super excitedly happy.
Since we set out to create this hub that is aimed at decentralizing the offline, we have had many Steemians asking, “How can I become a STACH Member"? "Can I be a member while not being physically present at the Hub"?
Well, we’ve gotten to the point where expanding to the existing Steemit community is finally possible, and we are going ahead to do just that.
This article will answer these critical questions and explain the process in which you can join the first offline decentralization program aimed at adding value to the Steem ecosystem.
HOW TO BE A STACH MEMBER.
Becoming a member of STACH is open to everyone and yes, online users are welcome to be a part of the community.
REGISTRATION:
Membership registration into STACH is available for a fee of $20SBD as entrance fee and subsequent monthly subscription of $15SBD. As the hub increases in number of users, the monthly fee will be dropped lower.
Why the fee? The Steem Accelerator Hub is a physical hub aimed at decentralizing the offline by taking away the barriers that make access to the internet impossible, like light, internet connectivity and work space.
The membership fee is to enable the smooth running and maintenance of the Accelerator, the online services and also to encourage similar franchises springing up in other communities around the world.
With this move, we are making it open for steemians to start a Hub in their communities for the purposes of creating a culture of collaboration and participation.
BENEFITS OF A STACH MEMBERSHIP.
As a registered member of the Steem Accelerator Hub you will receive
STACH Upvote: You membership will come with daily upvotes of your article by the STACH team that will be aimed at rewarding strong and creative contents. Consistent support will help retain talented Steemit contributors and help them engage their audience.
Affiliate Upvote: STACH is a member of Sndbox and is supported by @Sndbox as a Sndcastle project. This partnership will impact positively on every registered member as they will get no fewer than 3 upvotes from our partners weekly and will also stand a chance of being nominated to be a Sndbox member by @stach.
Promotion: On Steemit and any other website, visibility is key to getting seen and heard and our accelerator has weekly recap which throws spotlights on new and existing articles and activities. The hub is also aimed at helping our members raise awareness for the issues and projects important to them. We will be resteeming our members articles to help them attract the right crowd.
Coaching and Feedback: The accelerator will provide one on one daily support with lessons to help users navigate the Steemit ecosystem with ease. Formatting and translation help will also be made available.
Nomination: STACH will be nominating her members monthly to beneficial projects that will help them get global help and reach, i.e Sndcastle projects.
Where will the Membership Fees go?
Every fee will be put into use to bring value to the community. 50% of SBD received through memberships will be converted to STEEM Power to help grow the STACH account, so that users will earn more form the daily Upvotes.
The other 50% of these fees will go towards support costs of maintaining the physical Accelerator Hub and also for offline projects like, setting up of new hubs, campaigns, meetups and outreaches throughout the year.
HOW TO REGISTER.
The registration process for STACH is straightforward and easy. Interested Steemians can indicate through the comment section of this article and then contact @ejemai on Steemit Chat.
For newbies, we will be offering what I will like to call the Beta Stage registration. The Beta stage means that, we will be helping newbies get through the system in the best way possible so that they are adequately familiar with the services STACH has to offer and the attendant benefits.
After the Beta period, payments will be collected on monthly basis.
Why should You be a STACH Member?
STACH is a Steemit Accelerator that empowers individuals with creative and impactful projects worldwide with a starting point from our immediate communities.
Our goal is to use numbers and innovation to decentralize the offline and create a supportive environment by taking away the barriers that hinders creative thinking and enterprise. We look forward to creating a workpool where the world can have her pick of exceptionally talented authors, developers, artists, architects, musicians, curators, educators, entrepreneur etc.
We will be helping our members get nominated into various beneficial communities like Sndbox and the likes that are springing up.
Steem Accelerator Hub... decentralizing the offline!
STACH is supported by @Sndbox as a Sndcastle project.
Edited: airing my opinion.
Dropping all accusation
Good projet sir, this will go far from what I am seeing.
True. Let him come and clarify this.
Your statement is baseless and defamatory. As a donor to @stach, I have monitored its budget quite closely. Money has been spent on rent for the office location, interior painting, furniture, a generator, a laptop computer for use in the office, and a wifi router. The membership fee is requested only after someone has joined and begun to post and earn rewards; my understanding is that it exists merely to prevent freeloaders from taking advantage, plus it will help fund ongoing operations of the center.
In the future, if you post baseless attacks such as this one, I will flag them. You should be thanking the STACH group for working extremely hard to set up a program which will help a lot of others in your country.
sir I understand where you come from, and I honour the fact that you are helping nigerians, but the issue is, we know ourselves well in this country. Many help out to help themselves only, opening false accounts and giving false testimonies up and down, I have been a victim of sam before, MMM last year and others.
i will edit my comment, i am very sorry if I sounded rude to you sir.
Thanks.
It's not just rudeness, but your assumption that something is a scam, when in fact this is not. I know your country has had its share of thsoe, but you need to be open to the fact that there are good people in the world trying to help others, like this group is doing. You can weaken them by spreading untruths. Please do not do so.
You are right but the young man is just trying to be careful. There are a kot of scammers around. But i am ready to give this a try though
As a member of @stach, I know you might feel my opinions are biased. But I have a believe system, that great opportunities come with great cost. The pricing may seem a little over board, but think about what you can gain in one month with this exposure, as compared to what you are giving up (which you'll probably make in just 1 or 2 post)
I have been on steemit for a while now, do not be decieved, you will not make that in two posts, not even ten(if things go the way it was a when I came on, one reason i refuse to write when I first joined).
My own is, why the pricing? to stop freeloaders? The poeple who run to steemit right now are not businessmen but those hustling, why not get a limit instead of asking for fees?
make the math, stach hub will still make money from posts, as well as ejemai making money from his own posts, every week the business and the man should make some good income for free spending, while the members suffer the brute of the maintenance.
@alex-rudeandloud, you've not been to the hub before neither are you registered with @stach to weigh the benefits/services compare to price.
I visited @stach at different stages, you need to see the transformation that too place in the hub to make it a worldclass standard and yet @stach is still not done.
In one of my visit to the hub, youths around came to demand levy (popularly refer to as deve here in Nigeria), @stach spent about $50 right on the spot there.
Since you are here in Nigeria, i think you should visit the hub, so you can have a view, i think just a visit to the hub, you will not just register but also advice others to.
so you spent 50 dols on the spot? hows that an achievement, Im no longer attacking though, i must admit, i was already in a vexing mode yesterday when I saw this and had to air my full anger here, sorry one again., ill get to the hub once i am in PH, hope to meet good people on board.
Thanks
@alex-rudeandloud I am a Nigerian and I know we are all used to short term and abandoned projects and what is in it for me lifestyle, but this is not one of such. Have you been following the progress of this project? There are even videos to show progress.
You have no right to insult and defame that young man or anyone else doing some good, when you are offering nothing.
@ememovic, I have read quite a few of your articles and I expected you to at least think based on the way you write.
Any attack on this project is an attack on me and other right thinking Nigerian youth! People are doing more for others than for themselves these days. You should try it.
I'm not attacking this project young man, I needed some clarifications which I've gotten through @ejemai's previous posts on stach.
Hope you're cool?
I am cool. Got really pissed and had to get really nasty there, but the young man thinks I am wrong to get angry at anybody.
really?Lets see, If stach is to go far, then let it go far, but if this is a front for some sinister plan, then I will not stand against it.
I have been following progress, or the phantomof it, multiple pictures and videos about the same set of things.
I am not a right thinking nigerian youth? I agree and do support the move.
Thanks.
This is very nice, I'll advice everyone to be a part of this while it's still young.
Happy To Know This - Very Value Information.
Hurry For Registration : )
Awesome, congrats @stach! Great work, looking forward to more and seeing what your members are writing about :D
Thanks @voronoi for the support and guidance. We look forward to meeting set targets.
Not entirely sure, is this like a MeetUp.com?
No it is not meetup .com, it is an accelerator aimed at fostering collaboration and participation. Users resident in areas where the hub is located have access to every facilities provided there and also those provided online, like curation of articles and one on on support.
Sounds cool but what makes you think that there are enough users in a particular location?
@stach, you are doing a great job, keep it up, the fee is even small for what you offer,
I'm proud to say i am a benefactor of @stach,
I was in @steemit before i got to know about @stach, i couldn't navigate my way around, couldn't get the targeted audience, but @stach solved these.
In my own terms i refer to @stach as blogging made easy.
I'm looking forward to stach setting up hubs in various cities like Sapele, Delta State, Nigeria, so my family and friends can benefit too
@samiwhyte, don't forget Onitsha , Lagos, Calabar, Enugu, Awka, Abuja etc too.
Yes o
We need STACH hubs in every city
where you @ in sapele? I dey shell road side.
For now im in port harcourt, but but new road when im in Sapele
@alex-rudeandloud I appreciate the fact that you spoke honestly and passionately, I can see that you truly do care about the steemit community in Nigeria but please take the time to come over to the @stach office in Port Harcourt and see whats been going on. No penny is embezzled or misspent, everything goes into achieving the @stach dream. I'm a newbie and I've already gained so much, I think it would do you some good to come and see for yourself and if you aren't satisfied then you can say whatever you like. As for me, I believe in @stach and I'll advice all nigerians on steemit to join.
