RE: A Slightly Different Approach for Outreach
I tried reaching out recently to popular guy on Facebook*. Wrote an introduction post for him here, then dropped the link in his group wall.
The post didn't even get one comment. So I think when he stopped by he figured passed since no conversations were happening ad bloggers love that stuff right.
I don't know. Do you think i just did a bad post?
I was hoping some steemers wold go drop by his fb and like the post.

BUT of 130 votes on 6 views. If any active blogger comes to steemit gets only 6 views. Who would stay???
To attract new people that will enrich the platform we should probably give them all a courtesy vote and comment just for the hell of it.
Just my very recent experience. I have gotten a couple irl friends to sign up. one is an artist who does ok. The didn;t stick around.
Yeah i think that approach is not very effective, for both internal / external markets. For outsiders I think it may seem spammy, which is the problem, and hence why I think the sponsorship approach would be better. Yeah dozens of my friends didn't really stay too, although admittedly they're not content creators..
