RE: Day Zero | Steemit Bootcamp for Underprivileged Youths
I personally admire your drive to create good in your community @maverickfoo. I was thinking about also being even more active in my community in order to introduce people to Steemit and help change their lives for the better.
If many of us become "Steemit Jesus'" in our respective communities, we will see Steemit growth as a community truly become exponential.
One thing that each one of us can do is print contact cards to give out to people with a little short line about Steemit and the link to www.steemit.com and steem.io to learn more about it and to create account.
We can also organize Steem crash courses for highschool/college/university students as well as underprivileged youth like you are doing. Also, parishes and non-profits/charities should also be introduced to Steem and given a little walkthrough on the basics.
All this can be done all while doing a little FB/Twitter/Google TARGETED ads campaigns (which I find to be very effective if done right).
All in all, we should all be gearing ourselves to a great 2018 for Steemit if we all contribute just a little. Cheers!
Hi @ebargains! Thanks for the nice comment and great ideas. Yes, we are implementing some of it, and I just love the application of Steemit and it's impact on the community.
Why, just last month, we raised quite a huge sum for a few homes just in time for Christmas, without a single "real" money. It's documented here.
Now, we realised that if we can teach the kids how to be active on Steemit and become content creators/curators, they and their homes will truly become self-sustainable.
By then, the word charity? Ain't gonna exist no more. :)
