Steemit Facebook Advertising Campaign: How people interacted with our Ads
This is a little update to show how average Facebook users responded to our Ads!
You can check the campaign's announcement post here, and our latest update can be found here: Steemit Facebook Advertising Campaign - (Week #6) - Sponsored by @timcliff.
So let's get started
As expected, of course, many people approached us asking how to join Steemit.
And of course it didn't stop there..
And then we talked to some users in a more personal way!
And some users experienced long approval times
And of course, questions by more experienced bloggers
This was just a small preview of some of the responses we received on our Facebook page, which of course you should join: Steemit on Facebook
To sum up, I believe most users had issues with the following:
1- How to create an account.
2- Account approval delay.
So regarding the account creation process, I'll be doing some brainstorming for ways to make this as easy as it can be for new users. Of course, some people get very confused with the process as it's different from setting up an account anywhere else.
The account approval delay issue should be also fixed when the next update is introduced, which is planned to address this issue. So we shall wait and see.
That's all for now folks. Keep on Steemin.
Best,

Facebookers in 2017, posting content without getting paid.
The confusion on signing up will be multiplied one hundred-fold when they actually get here.
I have 11M fb contacts in active groups and I'm holding off inviting them until I can cobble together some kind of New Users Guide. My plan is to offer that as a pdf so they can see what they are signing up for before they bumble around like I did in the beginning [and like I still do].
I've made a few mentions in some of my groups and definitely get interest. My issue is finding:
Content creators
Who can spend the time here
Who will feel the payoff is worth it
But I don't want to invite them here - have them fail - and then trash talk. I have gotten a few replies that say, "I tried that place - it is too hard and not worth it." So I need to be able to counter that with a good intro guide, my testimonial, and results.
I already have Intro Guides for Simbi and Twitter. I get good response and people like my pdfs. I hope I can reproduce that for here, but jeez - what a place :)
Currently, I can say I made $80 wallet value in one month here. That dwarfs any other place so I feel I will have a good result when I try to convince people to try steemit.
Hey @fitinfun :)
There won't be any need for having a pdf guide for signing up; the process shouldn't be hard for anyone and I believe that Steemit won't go mainstream before the sign up process is as simple as signing up for a Facebook account or a Gmail account.
The experience is different from signing up to any website really, but with the upcoming update, it should be a lot easier which will help in both attracting new users and increasing the sign up rates.
Let's just wait and see.. this should be interesting.
It's not really the initial sign up that my pdf will address.
I'm going to be including the "top tips" for the first month, such as don't run out your steem power percentage by upvoting like crazy. I got down to 40% before I even understood this was a thing to worry about here.
But most of the pdf will just guide people to help that is helpful and already posted by others. Hopefully to shrink the huge learning curve here.
It's what you do, and the results you get in the first 10 days that helps people like the place and want to stay. My first 10 days were full of mistakes that I could have easily avoided. I don't think many content creators would not continue if they had the same poor start as I did.
Wow, that must be a lot of answering your doing!!! All for Steemit too. Great work :) How's the Facebook challenge going are you managing to stay off?
Thanks dear, it's very interesting helping people learn about Steemit - coming from different backgrounds and so on.
