What does it take to get more people into Steemit? Imo: Facebook content creators
If you have over 5000 SP, you should invite Facebook page owners to steemit. You can give them accounts for free, telling them they can just copy paste their content here. They will even earn with each "like" they get.
Let them know you'll back them up with "likes" yourself so they are certainly not wasting their time. Ask them to make a post about steemit. Offer to make accounts for anyone who wants to join. Get those new peeps in.
Introduce them to the community with steempeaks or busy because it's a much friendlier interface. Busy is specially good to non-english speakers since you can switch interface languages in it.
Show them how they can easily spend their earnings on the blockchain. There are a lot of services willing to take steem for their products, both on and off the steem blockchain. I'm starting to do all of this. So should you.
I have recruited 4 people to steemit and got them to create accounts but eventually, they all gave up on the platform. The pull and vanity of traditional social media was still too strong and it took me a long time to convince them too. If you're not prepared to change your habits you're going to fall off eventually the learning curve is high and earning potential is low in the beginning and scares a lot of people off.
I don't speak to people about the money any more just that your data isnt kept by a central body and you are censorship free and no ads
This! I think this is key to non-investors. Although saying "you also get a little of the company's income instead of it holding every profit for itself" is pretty good.
I will send you a sbi share soon.

I didn't think of that angle but thats a good one a share in the companies profits/divident/
Oh wow thank you so much for my SBI share I really appreciate it.
!SBI status
i tried to invite some friends but they didn't wanted to learn about steem right now. They feel good where they are so I can't force them :P
The week-long registration process is pretty annoying. Quite the barrier. Which is why I'm getting delegations... Free account creation.
I will send you a sbi share soon, so please keep posting or at least commenting! :)

No one knows if we don't tell them... I still don't remember how I heard about Steem, but I think it was a post on Facebook or something that made me research it. For me it was my first successful attempt at keeping a blog. I had tried before, but I couldn't stick to a niche as "they" tell you you need to have... I couldn't market my blog, so I got no advertising either. Steem fixed this for me.
Of course, there's also the distrust of cryptos in general coupled with the current struggling market which makes things worse...
I actually think that currently-successful bloggers are the least likely to stay on the blockchains - they don't see the need. It's people who have always wanted to blog, but have failed who are the ones we should be watching for - and independent artists of all flavors.

Thank you. You are very kind.
Not sure, as they could just copy paste their posts for some extra earnings. As long as it's easy to cashout, they should be interested.
You see, that's actually the problem. All of us on steemir are all mostly content creators. We need readers. Content consumers. We need reward the average joe for coming to us. And an easy way for them to cashout into something useful to them.

Totally right there. The thing is, at the moment, there isn't really a great way for content consumers to contribute here... They can read for free (which is good) without contributing to the blockchain at all. I guess that's why people have tossed around the advertising element again.
They don't have to contribute! Engaging with our content is more than good enough, specially when that content may embed things like Twitch, YouTube and other external sources of revenue. Not to mention @dclick.
