RE: How to Explain STEEM(IT) to a Friend…

in #steemit-ambassador8 years ago (edited)

@hisnameisolllie I don't have too much trouble explaining STEEMIT, there is alot to grasp for most at first though. I try to keep it simple and tell them not to worry too much about the money as much as to build a network of friends and readers and be a part of this new growing community, and that the rest will come in time. i do delve into it further but I do gradually explain unitl they get the main concepts anyway. I explained Bitcoin back in 2013 to alot of folks so that isn't a problem. I think most find it hard to believe that they will get "paid" for posting. And then most are also lazy, so who knows. But they sure play POKEMON.
full $teem Ahead!

Thanks for the reply @streetstyle I think your right,

Something which is certainly worth bearing in mind. The problem has been, this is Steemit's defining characteristic, and the carrot to hang in front of current Twitter, Facebook, Reddit...users. However, with an increasing user base, it is going to become more and more difficult to become an 'overnight' success, so your approach makes complete sense.
