RE: Marketing for Steem: Let's get to the basics
Steem and Steemit are fantastic alpha phase products however I believe this is not the right time to launch a marketing campaign. Too many people are frustrated or do not fully understand the functioning of the crypto and the reward system. Hopefully H17 will bring solutions.
By marketing I don't mean just advertisement. It means also that we start to communicate in better ways how the system works so that people can actually understand it.
I firmly believe that in business all communication is marketing – as is lack of communication.
I initiated ten people. Nine left after two to three months. They understood the system, made a few dollars but did not accept the rules of the game: erratic behavior of some whales, bots, monopolization of certain groups as mentioned in https://steemit.com/life/@kevinwong/dictatorship-intolerant-minorities-and-intellectual-idiots. Their overall impression was: it is a Ponzi scheme in disguise. That's why it's so important to change that perception.
