Steem Holidays sample letter to hotel managers around the world - PLEASE RESTEEM!
It turns out the manager of Ganeshamed (where we are currently staying) is based in Holland so I have just written him an email...
Dear Sir
I am currently staying at your lovely resort in Amed, on the coast of Bali with my family and I am writing to you today to ask a question.
My name is Sam and I am a cryptocurrency enthusiast. You may have heard of Bitcoin?
There are many cryptocurrency coins, one of which is called Steem. The current value of one Steem is $1.36. And the currency is just one year old.
Unlike Bitcoin (which must be bought), Steem can be earned by posting interesting articles on a new social media platform called Steemit. Described by Forbes Magazine as the 'fastest growing decentralised social media platform ever'.
I have been using Steemit for 7 months and have many followers now on the platform & a well established status.
Recently I began two initiatives:
@steemshop (where users of the Steemit platform can buy or sell anything for the Steem in their Steemit 'wallets')
@steemholidays ...and this is where you come in.
I am encouraging all users of the Steemit platform to make contact with the managers of hotels around the world and help them to advertise on the Steemit platform. Customers must be able to pay in Steem. Which is very simple to do on Steemit.
It may sound complicated, but I can assure you it is not.
If you are interested, I will create an account for you on Steemit and advertise Ganeshamed through your own account and also through my recently created Steem Holidays & Steem Shop account.
I ask for nothing in return. Except that any money generated from the advertising posts themselves would be split 50/50 between us and when someone makes a booking you would keep 100% of that booking money.
Here is a link to a recent post I made on this subject in the new steemholdiays account: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@steemholidays/steem-holidays-have-arrived-now-you-can-pay-for-your-holidays-with-steem
You will notice at the bottom of this post that I made the equivalent of $50 in Steem, which is paid to me after 7 days.
If you don't already have one, I strongly suggest you get a Bitcoin 'wallet' in order that when bookings are made in Steem, you can transfer the Steem to Bitcoin and (if you wish) convert that to a currency of your choosing very easily at a Bitcoin exchange centre or through Local Bitcoins where you will find the nearest person to you who is willing to buy Bitcoin for cash.
Personally, I would leave your Bitcoin in your Bitcoin wallet and not cash it out. The value of 1 Bitcoin has gone from $0.01 to over $2,500 in 7 years. And the value of 1 Steem has gone from $0.07 to $1.36 in three months. So, I hope you can see why it is better to hold these particular currencies during this 'crypto boom' we are currently experiencing.
I am a traveling filmmaker/photographer and have already taken many shots of your area and hotel, which I would use to create your advert on Steemit. I have attached two images I shot this morning with my drone. You are welcome to use them as you wish.
So, please take your time and do your research. But that being said, the value Steem & Bitcoin are rising fast and the sooner you are doing business using these currencies, the more you will benefit in the long run.
The Steemit community is completely international (though most account holders are from the USA) and many have already expressed an interest in booking holidays here in Bali. And it would make absolute sense that you become a part of what is on offer to them.
The @steemholidays account is only a few days old, but in a year from now there will be many people advertising their establishments through this account. And because everyone loves simplicity, Steemit users will be much more likely to book a holiday with you in just a few clicks... without having to leave the Steemit platform.
I look forward to your response and hope very much you will permit me to set up an account for you and advertise Ganeshamed through Steem Holdiays and the Steem Shop.
Kind Regards
Samuel Stonehill
Wow. So incredibly brilliant. I'm new and already very excited about the possibilities of Steemit but this is really really smart! Wishing you amazing success and travels. Upvoted and following you.
Thanks very much for the comment, upvote & follow and sorry for the slow response. Still playing catch-up since the holiday!
Yes, I very much hope to see the @steemholidays account grow, grow & grow...
fingers crossed ;)
Very nice ! I can see that @steemholidays is going to really take off. Perfect biz model, win/win ! You nailed it !
Good luck and best wishes on your projects !
Read More, Reason More ... JTS
Thanks very much for your positive words here and sorry for the slow response. Still playing catch-up since the holiday!
I think people will need regularly reminding to involve their local holiday businesses, but as long as I stay on the case, the @steemholidays account will grow in time I believe :)
it took me a min to review the post, lol, then i remembered ... I really liked your approach to the whole idea, very well deployed intro to steemit, SBD and BTC. altcoins ... Fantastic Biz template ... Yes, If YOU handle it, it WILL take off ! Good Luck !
@samstonehill
This is genius! I commend and applaud you for such a terrific idea! Keep us posted! :)
Upvoted!
Thanks very much for your optimistic comment. To keep you posted, unfortunately the owner of Ganeshamed did not get back to me! I wonder if my email overwhelmed him?
I was thinking that we could still create accounts advertising holiday businesses even if we don't have their permission.
But they would have to join Steemit if they were going to accept Steem as payment for their service. Which is really what the @steemholidays account is all about.
Let's see how it grows...
You're welcome, @samstonehill
It never hurts to try and sometimes it just takes a little time and then we see the thing we were hoping for eventually come into fruition. I wish you all the best!
I wish you well! We need more people out there doing the evangelism.
You know it my friend. Steemit evangelism! Love the new term :)
Sorry for the slow response here. Still playing catch-up since the Steem funded holiday!
Wow...cool))
Thanks for the cool, and sorry for the slow response. Better late than never!
Onward and upward!
:)
I want to be special on in steemit. but dont know how....
@samstonehill
My trick is very simple! I have worked very hard for 7 months to understand Steemit and see what it is missing.
Then I fill in the areas that are missing. I give the people something they haven't seen before on Steemit :)
Good luck my friend and sorry for the slow response.
It seems to be a good idea
Thanks my friend. I certainly hope so! Let's see in time how the @steemholdiays account develops....
Sorry for the slow response :)

Nice idea :) I resteemed ;)
Thanks very much for the resteem! I think it could work if we all started contacting our local holiday businesses. And it is totally in our interest to create accounts on their behalf which earn money for both parties :)
Let's see how the @steemholidays account develops....
Smart move, did he answered back?
Good question! And the answer is currently no! Somewhat annoyingly. I wonder if my email overwhelmed him?
I was thinking that we could still create accounts advertising holiday businesses even if we don't have their permission.
But they would have to join Steemit if they were going to accept Steem as payment for their service. Which is really what the @steemholidays account is all about.

Like they said in showbiz, there is no bad publicity.
Which company would complain if they get more views, hits, or costumers?
Making money is the main goal of running a business.
If you ask me, it could easily be a eye opener for him , when you send him posts about his company.
Or how about this, this case is a nice example for future cases.
Then you might as well create a review in @steemholidays about companies, and after creating a review, send those post to the companies, then you create a win win situation.
They see what steemit is, and because they see a serious review about there company, then they might join because they see actions, instead of another business deal, what many others ask him as well.
That's mostly the case, when you got a company.
He maybe sees it like, that you are another company who want to sell gold.
It would be different if you show him actions, same logic counts for every company out there.
And you give our Steemians here a nice review to spend our well earn steem coins.
I think after this, companies would join then, if they can get more costumers with Steemit and also if they know they can make more money with it, then what they have now.
That is another win win situation for them.
I am honestly about to do the same thing, for a friend who have a big advertisement company in the Netherlands.
