RE: STEEM "Shilling" Contest - 150 STEEM in prizes (results)
If you're after shilling for Steem, you're going to need to target content creators that aren't solely about the money. The more posts they have about cryptocurrency, the harder it will be to get them to promote Steem. You have to remember a lot of people think cryptocurrencies are ponzi schemes and it takes special wording of a network marketer to attract an investor.
You have to explicitly and implicitly inform prospects of the potential of being able to rake in more dough through the growth of the currency and how it increases in value. Basically telling them how much it is now VS how much it was last month, several months ago and how much it was worth a year ago, chart it out and show the trend, then inform them it's bound to continue in an upward trend.
It's not rocket surgery, it's just network marketing.
Keep those ideas in mind. I will be running another contest next week :)
For sake of example, I did just make a post that would show you how to do a proper investor call. It's located HERE for you to take a peak at. Take notice that I go into talking about a particular frontend, what it's based on (steemit), mention other services that use it, compare it to the social media giants, point out the social media giants are actually failing and why it's happening, then tell them out SBD a year ago vs SBD price now as well as getting them to think about it's prospect of the future if they're to invest early rather than waiting until it's already spiked high.
The article is targeted to not only attract new users (content creators) from the various social media platforms, but also targeting potential investors at the same time.
Hope this helps when trying to explain in your upcoming contest. (And no I'm not trying to do a pre-emptive entry, best example is by actual example rather than explanation).
Well done thank you so much for your kindness @timcliff. we will waiting for another amazing contest that you created. it was wonderful so many people inspired to your contest.
Oh, sorry, I don't participate in contests. I'm just here to do my own thing. You're welcome to utilize that information later or put it in your contest post about what works better though, free reign, screw it. I'm a writer and I don't even enter writing contests xD
