Sneak Peak at my Steem Workshop Materials - Happening in Philly Next Week!

Hi Friends!

Hard to believe that I fly out to Philly in just a few days! Saturday of the conference at Anarchadelphia is going to be a big day for me because I'm giving a main stage presentation, appearing on a crypto panel, and teaching a Steem workshop!

I've been working on material for my workshop this morning and thought I'd share/give you a little sneak peak! I couldn't think of a better time to be promoting Steem now that some of the dust from HF21/22 has settled and we are seeing all the benefits of #NewSteem.

Outlining my Steem Workshop

I could talk about Steem for hours on end without missing a beat, but this morning I sat down at my computer and started crafting an outline for my one hour workshop to make sure I include all the important pieces.

Instead of me being at the front of a classroom with a powerpoint, it is going to be more of a roundtable/casual format. At first I thought this might be a bad thing because having visual aids can be helpful, but the more I thought about it - the more excited I felt because I think this will make for a really fun, conversational class where they can more easily pipe in and ask questions.

General Points to be Covered:

• Gauge current knowledge of the Steem blockchain from attendees and ask why they signed up for this workshop.
• Overview of "Why Steem" and the value of the platform.
• Talk about how voting works, "where the money comes from", voting power, powering up, whales, minnows etc.
• Discuss how curation works and set realistic expectations for what it is like to build a following on the Steem blockchian.
• First things to do on the platform - including making an Introduction Post. I created a great resource for @steemonboarding that I will link to in their handout to guide them when making that post. (you can check that out below)
• Discuss how Dapps work and how using them can help them find community. (more on that below)
• Private keys and how to use each of them.
• Time for Q&A
• Closing remarks that leave them inspired and excited to jump in.

My video on how to make a Steem introduction post that gets noticed.

Drumming up Interest for the Workshop During the Crypto Panel

I was asked to join these cool cats on stage for a crypto panel - where we will be discussing a variety of topics, including the role of social media in blockchain adoption. The event director and I worked together to make sure my workshop directly followed this panel so we could generate some additional interest for the workshop day-of the event. I'll mention that many of the great names at the conference such as Jeff Berwick, Carey Wedler and Luke Rudkowski have been using Steem consistently for years.

Education of Various Steem Dapps

In my handout - I will not only direct them to State of the Dapps and direct them to toggle to the Steem section... but I will also list out some of my own favorite dapps for different use cases.

• Video content - @dtube
• Fitness Tracking - @actifit
• Blog Posts from a Wordpress Site - @steempress
• Gaming - @steemmonsters
• Travel content - @travelfeed
• Product Hunts and Reviews - @steemhunt
• Instagram type content - @appics
• Restaurant Reviews - @tasteem
• Audio Platform - @dsound
• Crowdfunding - @fundition
• Building Communities and Business Development - @oracle-d

I will also list out some of my favorite Steem UI’s as an alternative to Steemit.com

• Quick, easy to use, beautiful, mobile experience - @partiko
• The most robust, data-driven option - @steempeak
• Great all in one option delivering both a mobile and desktop application - @esteemapp

What do you guys think? Am I missing any dapps or UI's that you think must be on the list? The point isn't to include everything possible, but to help give them some direction as they start exploring the blockchain.

Excited to Share Steem with an Engaged/Excited Room of Content Creators!

One of the things I've noticed in the comments and DM's I got on Crypto Twitter/Instagram is people saying, "Oh, I've been meaning to check out this whole Steem thing..." I think a conference is a perfect spot to spread the word about Steem because the people who are there have committed to their own development in the space on a whole nother level. I'd rather work with 15 people who are going to become valuable members of the community then speak to a room of 100 people who may never take action.

Wish me luck and let me know your thoughts below!

XO, Lea
