Brilliant initiative mate and I hear what you say but the perception needs changing first. People associate Steem with Steemit with getting paid to blog. People join up, find its just another corrupt power and money led old boys club and then leave after they find they've joined 18 months too late and no one read their fabulous, well written an researched posts.
Steem needs to either re-brand itself, or get Steemit to change its name (or better still close so that the other more individual sounding and more attractive front ends can take its place) to be taken seriously as a blockchain in its own right.
We can all spread the Steemit gospel, but Steem inc should have a dedicated marketing team. If, as you say, investment is needed, it will need to be quick as in the tech world, new and cutting edge doesnt stay new and cutting edge for very long.
Where did you get the stickers made please ? They are a great idea
Thanks for the kind words. I completely agree with what you’re saying, it is very tough for new users to join the platform and have success, most of the rewards are being consumed by longtime users with huge accounts. Having said that, you have two options, give up and move on to something else, or do everything you can to make a change and try and balance things out. I have chosen to go with the latter. Things are never fair in life and the same goes with the blockchain, but when you put in effort, I mean really put in effort, your hard work will eventually be rewarded.
I got the stickers and business cards made at a local printing shop, I think you can find most printing shops can accommodate and make stickers. Don’t give up my friend, long term you’ll be happy you stuck around
Thank you too mate :-)
I aren't giving up...not when there are a few feathers to ruffle lol ;-)
Best wishes to you.
well, you can either stop on steem and go back to facebook to do the same thing you are doing now for absolutely nothing or stay and do if for a little bit and hope it grows...
this thing is in its infancy and it will grow but first the tech fundaments have to stand on solid ground... once those are sound then you can rest assured that your 100 steem will be worth a whole lot more then 300 dollar
I wasn't really making a comment on the money, it's a comment on the absolute rubbish on here I have to wade through to find anything decent to read or learn about. The money fosters greed and a load of people who want to be read rather than read. Steemit has been going 21 months ? that's not an infancy, especially in tech years.
