RE: With a slight drop in the number of new accounts recently registered, pressure builds on the Minimum Target of 650,000 previously set.
Hi Stephen, maybe there is a way to switch the emphasis to personal recruitment - just as a platform like Facebook would do.
After 3 months on steemit I am now feeling confident enough about the platform to start showing it to friends and family.
I know enough to demonstrate how steemit works and I have a bit of voting power to support new people I bring on with encouraging upvotes. I can mentor them and keep them going through the difficult first couple of months.
I believe there are around 25,000 daily active users.
Taking those as a starting point (although these change I am sure) if each of those recruited one new person every ten days that would give us 250K new accounts by the end of the year.
Throw in a good few accounts from other sources and bob's your uncle we will smash through the 650K target.
There will be the added bonus that personally recruited and mentored new users are almost certainly going to exhibit a much higher retention rate than normal.
There must be a good way to gamify this...
"There must be a good way to gamify this..." You provide some valid points, but it was this one that I could not agree more with. I have been promoting #Steemit from the very first day I joined and upped the ante a few months ago by not only getting out on the streets and handing out flyers but also funding and supporting others to do the same. "Gamifying" the signup has to be achievable. It just needs someone to think it through as to how it could be done to make it both an enjoyable experience for the new user signing up and the one out promoting. Happy to listen to any ideas. Thanks for the contribution to the Blog. I appreciate the idea. Stephen
