That is 7 shows the Keiser Report has had featuring bitcoin in the last six months. The Keizer Report also has featured Etherium, StartCOIN and other alt currencies and blockchains within this period as well. There are many more shows also featuring crypto in previous years.

I think it should be clear by now that if we want to get international TV coverage for steemit.com the Keizer Report will be a great place to start. They have an audience that is already introduced to and possibly familiar with crypo-land and its oddities. It’s this show that introduced me to the potential of Bitcoin and crypto-currencies in general.
Wouldn’t it be great if we get Ned or Dan or some nominated spokesperson featured on the show round about the 4th of July or at other important future dates?

I think it’s really possible and so I am writing this series of posts to lay out the strategy.

First steps:

• up-vote the posts in this series and when they have a reasonable amount associated with them.

• start tweeting these posts to Max Keizer and Stacey Herbert.

This is to illustrate to them how effectively steemit.com works as a
platform. They will be introduced to the concept with content that
they can identify with. It will also illustrate how the platform works
for content creators and content curators. Just from the tweets we may
find that they get retweeted to a sizable group of followers. This
is phase one of the twitter campaign.

• Please paste you tweets in the comments below the posts and any
  responses you may get so that we can gauge the effectiveness of this
  phase of the campaign.
• Please up-vote the creative tweets and constructive comments too.
  This will also demonstrate how commentator's are rewarded for good
  curation.

In Part 2 I will lay out some other main activities we as a community can perform to really grab “share of mind”. Part 2 will cover the necessary tweet addresses etc.
