Creating New Steemit Language Communities
Fire Dancers In Cebu
We have been studying different areas on steemit, and have noticed that the Spanish community seems to be doing well. We are considering having our @exploretraveler team get started in created small groups of writers from the Philippines, Indonesia, China and Taiwan. For this platform to really succeed we need to reach out to our connections world wide, and to help guide them getting started. Maybe we can create a post that shows the different writers within the particular language and country. Any ideas on this would be very helpful.

With the price of Steem currently very low people from around the world can get in while it's still cheap. With an increase in international user base word can spread fast. The mobile app works but is difficult to use, and needs more work, but we think just getting started is key. Some of these countries love to talk, and support each other well.
So it's just making them feel welcome. More users, advertising base, and active users make the community more profitable to advertisers who want to reach different people for different reasons. We have started reaching out this morning Manila time, and will see if anyone is will to try something new.

Yes the people in the Philippines would love steemit along with most of east Asia! Good post.
Your right, and I will help with what I can.
It will be morning soon in Manila, and I have setup a chat to communicate with about 10-15 people. Lets see if we can build strong team of support here, and for each other.
Good idea
Our contact in Saudi Arabia is going to ask the people of the New Life Center in Tacloban to sign up 100 accounts. SO we will see what happens. :-)
Just saw this post. Not sure what I can do but I am in Taiwan. Not many users from Taiwan here. Language is always a difficult issue to tackle. Maybe you have some good ideas. If you need, you can reach me on steemit.chat.
We have allot of contacts within the semiconductor industry there. So maybe a Steemit club once we get enough people. We would like to see Mandarin post more often, and too open up the site across the region.

Israel. You certainly want us and in Hebrew. Lot's of traffic in spite of the fact that less than 8 million people speak the language. You will have to deal with some right-to-left writing issues in the editor, etc., but you're not really multilingual until you did.
Yes, and we have friends there as well. We will reach out to groups of our website followers one country at a time.
That great thing about steemit is that if you put your website link into a good post you create a strong back link so it's also great SEO.
I can see some of them reading the message now. It is still around 1:30 am so still early.
This is a great idea. I will see if I can think of something to help.
I have already reached out to my contacts in the first country, and am trying to get their accounts setup.
Fantastic!
Part of the difficulty in creating new language communities is that somehow they need to have a solid amount of Steem Power behind them in order to get any payoff. This is what drove the Russians to split off and start Golos.
In the past 2 weeks I've been experimenting with automated voting, and my voting bot has been doing something fascinating: it's been voting, quite successfully, for Korean posts. I don't speak a single word of Korean. I didn't teach my bot Korean. I'm not sure what it likes about the Korean posts, but somehow it's done well. It's also done this with Spanish and German on occasion.
So this makes me think it should be easy enough to train a botnet to select and vote for good posts in some desired language! I'm going to keep thinking about this idea, and maybe I'll actually be able to work something up to help you guys out.
The bots don't need to be language specific just follow some basic rules like upvotes before 30 minutes, and upvote and comments before 1hr. We can keep the language open.
I like your ideas @biophil Thank you!
