RE: Start a Steemit Meetup to Build A Strong Community!
I just want to verify, the purpose of doing this would be to help grow our steemit community, correct?
No doubt this is an exciting time for us all!
However, excitement alone can scare some people --- "Why does this crazy person want us to write blogs???"
So how would you recommend we introduce steemit to people who know NOTHING about crypto-currency?
Yes. Grow & strengthen the existing community. Lol. Yes it's important to control some of the excitement and let people discover the 'realness' of getting paid something for blogging. I would avoid discussing crypto-currency in the beginning. I would just focus on the idea that there is a platform/business that compensates people very well for blogging. The crypto-currency part could be saved for advanced sessions and for people who have earnings and are trying to figure out how to exchange and use their digital assets in the real world. It really depends on the audience. A meetup with Bitcoiners would be far different than one for the general public.
Ok, that makes sense. I do believe that it's best for people to just jump in and get their feet wet first, and they can learn along the way, like most of us are doing!
My town is small but you never know where talent is hiding ;-)
Agreed about learning along the way. Yeah if the town is small you can probably just post flyers at the local town center or coffee shop or something like that ... you probably don't need to pay for Meetup.com in the beginning.
Oh, great tip!
thanks :-)
