Bring Steem out to the World: The intro to my Steeminitiative
Hello, my name is @iliasdiamantis and this post is about introducing a project that I came up with , an initiative on my behalf to promote Steem. Long story short it is about an ebook that I will create and everyone can distribute it. This ebook will showcase what Steem Blockchain is and which are some of the applications that entrepreneurs, developers and everyday people can use.
Just a sample cover
A little background
I live in Athens, Greece and I am Civil Engineer. I run my own business here, which operation wise is offline, but I get most of my clients through a website that I have built. This was the result of me studying online marketing and being involved with online communities and business events throughout the years.
So, entrepreneurship and content creation are something dear to my heart.
And I have been a Steemian since 18 August 2017. I will not go into numbers, but I have some SP, a part of it is Steem that I bought with fiat money and the rest I earned it through blogging. And I post almost every day and I try to engage with as many people as I can. Recently I was at Steem Fest in Krakow and I saw the community and was impressed by the development of the apps.
Why Am I doing this?
I have invested in Steem and Steemit a good amount of my time and money. I believe in the technology and I want it to succeed and I will not just wait for others to do the work. I will do whatever I can to help Steem succeed. As an (old) user, as an investor I believe that it is my duty to contribute with my abilities or resources to the success of this Blockchain.
And I know that my abilities or resources are maybe limited compared to other people’s, but this is what I have and this I what I give.
The Project
So, as I have already said content creation is my thing and this is what I am going to do. I will interview people from the Steem community that have an important role in it, that develop apps which can bring more people here and have reached a certain level of recognition and their opinion is highly esteemed by their peers.
These interviews will create pieces of content in various forms (written, audio, video) that will be distributed through traditional Social Media (and of course Steemit). But this is not my end result. Then, the interviews will be compiled into an ebook.
This ebook will explain what the Steem Blockchain is and most importantly it will show how it can be used by entrepreneurs, content creators, social media users and developers. I want to showcase how Steem Blockchain can be integrated into a business or how it can be used as a channel of content distribution or why developers would chose it to develop apps or even how everyday people can use certain apps and get rewarded for it.
I will give out this book to whoever wants to promote Steem. You can share it with your friends, family and audience. It will not be sold in any way shape or form. I have no problem selling stuff, but this will be not one of them. It will be promotional material and it will be distributed freely by any one that wants to promote the Steem Blockchain.

So let’s bring Steem out to the World
Yes, let’s spread the message.
Steem is not perfect. It has its flaws. But, on the other hand, which product doesn’t have any?
But, I believe in this product.
I believe in this community…
I believe in the apps that are being built.
Not everybody will use every app, but there are great apps for all the people that I mentioned.
Apps that entrepreneurs can use, apps that content creators can use, apps that everyday people can use.
And we all want it to succeed …
Either because we have invested our money in it…
Either because we have spent hours and hours in the platform …
Or just because we want to part of something great, revolutionary and life-changing …
So, let’s do this now …
Let’s bring Steem out to the world.
Be Healthy, Smile and Steem on !!!
PS : If you have any feedback or idea, I will be happy to discuss it and include it in the project. If you want to help out, it will be appreciated especially if you are a graphic designer/illustrator.
Μόλις γύρισα από δύσκολη προπόνηση ...θα σχολιάσω αύριο αναλυτικά..
Μπράβο για την πρωτοβουλία, είμαι σίγουρη ότι θα δώσεις ρέστα 👍🇬🇷
Αναμενω με αγωνια το σχολιο σου :)
I think that it's a great idea. I know that we are still in the development stage right now with the different applications but soon it will be time for more marketing approaches and something like this could be a great tool as we try to bring more people into the system.
What I really love about the community is the willingness of it's users to take on the issues. As soon as there is a need identified it seems like only a matter of time before on of our community is back with a solution to it. The progress is fast and consistent.
Indeed you are right. I like the fact that the community is stepping up and provides solutions.
And there are many things to be done and every one can contribute something within his/hers abilities.
I don't know how to code but I know how to copywrite .
I can't program or code but i write. I can be active and help out other users. Create content and steer people in the right directions. We can all do something that adds value to the site. Even if it's small additions they all add up and add to the whole.
You what they say ?
Small hinges swing big doors...
Keep on Steeming...
Μπράβο σου φίλε.\nΤέτοιες κινήσεις αλλάζουν τα πράγματα.

This is a great idea and I believe it will be useful to promoters. I'll be more than happy to have this e-book to pitch steem to investors and friends.
For graphics design, I think you might want to know @pondarj, he's great with those.
Cheers. I hope it gets completed successfully.
Great . If @pondarj see this I would be happy to speak about the project. :)
Νομίζω ότι στην φώτο είμαστε κούκλοι... Δε λέω γαμπροί γιατί εγώ είμαι ήδη παντρεμένος :p
Καλή η ιδέα σου φίλε.. σου εύχομαι ότι καλύτερο...
Καλό βράδυ...
Εννοειται τοι ειμαστε κουκλοι , ειτε παμε για γαμπροι ειτε οχι.
Νασαι καλα και καλη συνεχεια. :)
Amazing idea Ilias, if you need any illustrations feel free to ask i will be happy to help:) As a suggestion i can share my experience when i was trying last year to explain Steemit to my friends and actually everyone i know that is using social media, i was obsessed and in the end only one person out of a pool of maybe 100 people, average age 35, created an account.Lol. My conclusion was that people dont know anything about how economics and the financial world work, half them still believe that our money is backed by gold!!!
Thank you. :)
I don't want to explain how it works , but how they can use it. Everybody uses Facebook, but few know how internet works.
And let's be honest, creating an account on Steemit is not the easiest thing in the world. Hopefully , this will change soon.
You are absolutely right in this Ilias:)
The bottom photo is obviously a reference to Christmas - the three wise men.
:)
This is the kind of project which costs you time and effort, but only adds value to the platform, so, congratulations kai bravo!
You are exaggerating... I think I will be very interesting especially in the light of the recent events.

Your reply does not make sense
I paid you a compliment (first sentence was just humour). I will explain the second one in more detail:
I said you are devoting time and effort to create something for the benefit of Steemit, without it benefitting your pocket (den tha vgaleis lefta apo to pdf sou). Why would I comment about you being interesting - I have not viewed the proposed work you say you are preparing, nor have I met you for me to make such a negative judgement.
It is very disheartening to pay someone a compliment and be rebuffed. I know your command of the English language is good enough to have understood my short compliment, so it feels like there is some resentment I do not know how I have earned.
Rest easy, I promise I will not repeat this error.
Your comment doesn't make sense to me either.
Let's try this again...
You are exaggerating... How this is rebuffing? You called us wise and I just said that this little bit too much. Written speech lucks tonality, so maybe some information was lost there.
I think I will be very interesting especially in the light of the recent events.
Autocorrect screwed this one because the third word should be "it" referring to the project. But yet, I think it makes sense. I want to give an extra dimension to the project and point out that in my opinion it would be even more interesting, at least for me, in the light of recent events.
Hope it makes more sense now.
Thanks for your comment.
Have a nice day :)
