RE: Random Take Away's About STEEM From The "bitcoin is_" Conference
Steem has no brand.
It does. Its Steemit. lol. When you say Steem, they think Steemit.
"Oh Its that blogging thing".
The fact of the matter is that they fucked up with the name. Its simple as that. The only thing to do now is to change it. Eliminate "Steemit" from the equation or its an uphill battle of trying to explain to everyone that comes here what the difference is between Steem and Steemit.
Ive seen people that been here more then 6 months not know the difference and confuse the two.
Yep.. sort of what I said 😛 but I think Steemit can stay Steemit.. maybe we need to change Steem 😉
And honestly.. I get it’s confusing.. but our users need to take a bit of personal responsibility too 🤷♀️
Its not about our users. They should have learned by now but even that shows you the gravity of the confusion.
But you cant expect the outside world to understand the difference. The message needs to be easy to understand and easy to spread.
When you have to explain stuff right off the bat and its confusing to people you lose then.
Maybe we need to change Steem. Maybe. But i know for a fact that the Steem/steemit dillema is screwing up the outward reach.
“Ive seen people that been here more then 6 months not know the difference and confuse the two.”
Jap, I was too one of those people, but I can tell you why.
If you look on my blog you will see, I’m just an artist (photo, video) who know bitcoin and some other cripto :) So in a way...just a “average Joe”
I joined steemit, because I could make some extra $ and that was it..
“I will get some dollars for something that I do for free...”
And for me as a creator/artist was this all I needed to know.
It was just mindblowing... because facebook, instagram and other soc.med platforms will give you 0...
so I just started post some good content and I was happy as a mf :)
I was so happy when I made my first 1$... oh
Now, when I look back... “ignorance is bliss”
Back then, my focus was only making uniq content every day or every second day.... that was it.
...and this is what I’m gone do🤘
