RE: Thinking Out Loud #3 - 200 editions of Steem News, a Ten Month Plan for Steem & Regional Leaders
I could do my part here in Phoenix, Arizona to really help spread the word and bring more awareness, more specifically by bringing more people into the Steem Cannabis community. I have been talking to a lot of people who are in the scene and getting them set up with new accounts recently.
I also own @hotsauceislethal and run the @canna-collective account.
Working with @jonyoudyer to think of ideas to bring more people into the platform and I have already been slowly accumulating account claim tickets on Steemworld. The only problem with those is that they don't come with any STEEM or SP so you will either have to send them some or delegate enough so they can perform routine tasks such as commenting or posting.
My biggest hurdle with trying to bring new users onto Steemit is the complexity and the intensity of the ideas. Many people simply don't wanna spend more time learning how to do something new and would rather stick to the same old social media sites. The best way to explain it to people is that they can get paid for doing what they already do on social media sites like Instagram, Youtube, etc.
But yes I agree we need to actively work towards our goals instead of sitting by passively thinking someone else will just do it. When we have that kind of mentality then NOBODY does anything and then we all sit here pointing the finger of blame.
I always say "If you want to see a change you have to be the change."
