RE: User Authority, Resteems and the Drop-off. Stop your friends from trying steemit.
Great piece of content, Matt!
I'm a big fan of the new User Authority concept, but especially enjoyed your focus on retention.
You try a new flavour of icecream or a new gym. These are things and because the blockchain is a thing, people give it a try, which is entirely the wrong mindset.
That's so true!
It's all about quality and not quantity in that context. We gonna have a terribly bad looking retention curve in a couple of months/years if we go ahead in the same wild and crazy recruiting style.
Found thanks to @abh12345, enjoyed and resteemed
Thanks Marly :)
I don't think every lost user is an indictment or something we've done wrong, necessarily.
I'm sure a lot of people know themselves well enough to pick up that they're just not wired for it.
It's a shame all the focus is on blogging, when it's really about community.
The kind of people we want to hear from don't feel comfortable giving a speech in the town hall the day they arrive in town. Let them hang out in the back, get to know the other residents; get a feel for the place. Take the pressure down.
Yeah, that's the point.
But honestly there are few things done to change that.
It all starts with Your voice is worth something. That fosters the problems we can't fix later on. How will you improve on expectation management if the brand itself fuels the pressure from day 1?
