RE: I need a little help promoting steemit

in #steemclub-uk6 years ago

Hey, @article61!

Thank you for your contribution to the crowd. We are the Steemit project dedicated to empowering The Wisdom of Crowds. You can find more about us on our official blog or whitepaper and you can support us by voting for our witness and joining our curation trail on Steemauto . We are also inviting you to join Crowdmind Discord server. Don't forget to use the #crowdmind hashtag and happy crowdsourcing!

Additional comment: Wow, we are so glad that we found your post. This is exactly the type of the activity we want to promote – you are crowdsourcing ideas and support to approach offline community which is not currently on the platform. But this is not the only reason. Every day we struggle to explain Steemit and its potential to people who never heard of it. Their questions are always simple – but sometimes you find it incredibly hard to answer them. For example – how do you create the money? is a pretty much legit question for people who don’t know much about the blockchain. Maybe finding the right questions and answers could be the first step, before you try to put them in designed publication? Maybe the hard copy can be changed for a simple web-based form? Who knows. We will resteem this and follow your next steps. I will mention a few Steemians who may have valuable advice like @svemirac @alexs1320 @llfarms, but there are many others. You can jump to our Discord if you like. Let's see how this will move on…

Best regards

Wow! Let me just pick my jaw up off the floor, I've never had so many upvotes :D
First of all, thank you for the compliments and support, I am glad you enjoyed reading my post. Also, thank you for the valuable input, you raised some brilliant points that I certainly need to consider when developing this plan. I want to get this right and with time not being a constraint I think we can put our heads together and formulate something irresistible. I'll be spending some time on steemit this evening and will come over to your discord server and introduce myself, really appreciate the invite btw.

I came up to a pretty similar idea but not really making a booklet - more like online Q/A form or flyers/posters and hand them out to students or in dorm.

a booklet that would be aimed at students learning to produce music, film and photography. Maybe it doesn't have to be so specific, I'm willing to let whoever is brave enough to take the reigns decide what's best to show them.
But, booklet idea is even more cool:
I would definitely go with

  • what is steemit? awkward social network you earn money while posting and interracting...
  • how you earn money? Simplest most childish explanation of blockchain technology and transactions
  • who makes this money? - witnesses and connection to this blockchain and how they actually run steemit.
  • Why would anyone give me money? - now this is like trickiest question - but sharing is caring (giving is earning) is not really intuitive in today world. But that could be explained a bit more plastic too + mention communities and content seekers.
  • here we touched some content... going with steemstem for science; openmic for music, various photography competitions and great curation.
  • Now at this point I would suggest raising some contest for this cause for example best photo from scientific place; photo of a music instrument/ concert photo; and basic "free topic" photo contest and publish all photos in the booklet with the author names
  • yes, I would also suggest first to go with web-based form - it cuts the cost and you can see reaction of the crowd. Then go for a print copy.

This is a great topic that could unite lots of great steemians to share a few words and make this place grow. :)

Thank you so much for this thoughtful response, I love it!! The idea of offering up a competition to find content that can be added to the booklet is fantastic. Your bullet points are just what I need mate, you are a star.
By the way, you are instantly on my Christmas list for using a Black Adder reference :)
