Yesterday I put up a post to build a list of all active steemians in Britain.

The result was not great - but also not too surprising.

There are still a few additions coming in - but so far the list has reached 81.

A few of those are on the edge of still being active, so that figure is not far off that magic one in a million finding from my previous cursory inpection of active steem numbers. The population of the UK is currently 66.6 million.

I had very much hoped that we would reach 100, but even with the stragglers still trickling in it doesn't look too hopeful.

So it is what it is. There are less than one hundred active steemians in Britain.

It cannot stay this way. The numbers must go up.

There will not be some massive marketing campaign swooping in from steemit inc to boost the takeup of steem in the UK.

It is up to us - this happy band of 81 - to make it work, to make it grow, to make it prosper.

So what is the plan? How do we get one? Where do we go from here?

We need to talk. We need to work together.

Who's up for the challenge? Who's just here for the ride?

A great big UK meetup would be good. But time, distance, money, logistics... That will need to come later.

Possibly regional meetings first. Luckily we are quite evenly spread. But they will still take time to organise.

That is time we may not have. The next six months are vital.

So let's go virtual. I have a radio show. Thursday evenings.

With the clocks going back on Sunday, the show will be a good time for Brits ... 8pm - 11pm UK time.

Thursday 1 November - The United Kingdom of Steem, Let's Make It Great Show on MSP Waves.

Who wants to come on the show to brainstorm, thrash out some ideas, make some plans and get ready to rumble...

Here are a few possibles to get our balls rolling...

• Regional meetups
• A social media promotion campaign
• UK steem merchandise
• UK steem leaflets
• Targeting specific sectors like independent musicians, film makers, gamers...
• Working with small charities to fundraise to show benefits of steem
• Students ??
• Working to promote specific dApps like @eroche's Let's Eat
• Targeting niche / alternative groups like homeschoolers, vegans, alternative therapists...

Who's up for it?
