Total Accounts of 902, 793 And 60, 084 Active Users Not Ideal State In My Opinion; These Suggestions, If Adopted, Could Help Abridge This Wide Disparity...

in #suggestion6 years ago

Woooow... Happy Easter Steemians! Hope we are able to find reasons to celebrate Easter season and have fun despite the downturn in Crypto market. Don't worry about the market. It has always been like this; up and down movements are inherent characteristics of any financial market. No matter the time it would take to resume bullish movement, just bear in my that this is not the end. Market shall surely move in the direction we all anticipate. Until then, cheer up!

On today's article, I red a post by @reko in which he stated that there are currently 902, 793 total accounts on Steemit. Of these accounts, only 60, 084 are active. And people were hailing the stat as a great one! That was a huge surprise to me! WHAT ARE WE HAILING WHEN WE COULDN'T BOAST OF 10% RETENTION? I really wondered what some people that commented on that post were hailing; because to me, that's not ideal at all. We can do better.

In this article I offer suggestions I think if critically looked into and some adopted, if not all of them, would help in raising the bar of active users. Opening unlimited accounts and abandoning them thereafter does not bring any value to steem ecosystem. I believe that what positively affects steem price is the number of its active users. This is so because they are the ones either buying or selling steem/sbd at all times. As they buy and sell steem, price would either increase or decrease according to the force of demand and supply.

Below are some of my suggestions to increase the number of active users of Steemit.com.

A special curation account should be set up to curate introduceyourself posts that meet set standards

First impression, they say, matters. And of course this is true. One of the reasons a lot of users abandoned their accounts after creating it, is repetitive zero earnings in the face of hundred-to-thousand-dollar earnings by others. For someone who doesn't have any clue how the program works; it will be difficult to keep participating at zero earnings while others get fat payouts weekly in his presence.

Introduceyourself earnings has the capability to motivate newbs to become hyperactive Steemians. It matters a lot. I am a case study. I was not introduced to steemit by anyone; my introduceyourself post was luckily upvoted by @blocktrades and garnered $103+ within 30minutes. This was part of the reasons I strongly believe in the program till today; it gave me the requisite foundational motivation such that even though my subsequent posts made zero dollars in earnings, I didn't give up.

A special curation account if set up to cater for introduceyourself posts that meet set standards, it would help to reduce the number of people who abandon their accounts after signing up.

Sndbox model can be replicated in six places

@Sndbox is a scheme created by @voronoi and @hansikhouse and supported by deligation from @misterdelegation account. Primarily, they supports Steemians who run impacting visible projects, and they have done wonderfully well since inception. More than 100 Steemians are fellows at sndbox including the famous @anomadsoul, @ejemai and @bitrocker2020 to name just a few. Most sndboxers have been able to build their SP to more than 1000SP, and even upto 7000SP and have become quite successful in their blogging career.

When over 100 persons having above 1000SP each are actively participating in the program, their activities will be very impacting within the community. @sndbox project has made this possible by being beacon of support to all their fellows. Replicating @sndbox model in six places is a veritable option that would certainly contribute in no small scale in raising the bar of active users of steemit.com. Imagine a situation we have six equivalent of @sndbox supporting particular projects or communities. The result would certainly be mind blowing!

Conclusion

Steem is doing handsomely well even at 60, 000+ active users, just image how it would perform when the number of its active users is 1 million plus. To ensure this happens within foreseeable future, adopting the above suggestions is key. Thanks for reading.

Nice suggestions from @eurogee
GETting to encourage newbies is going to go a long way.
We have want to have motivations to do the things we want to do.

Wow! Well said @eurogee! Imagining Steemit with 6 different accounts operating like @sndbox is massive! It would indeed be a game changer for several projects and communities. You are absolutely right about the need to motivate newbies....a special group of mentors-cum-curators just for new users would make a huge difference in increasing the user retention rate.

To me, this article is all about giving back and that makes you an amazing man. Thank you for this.

Thanks for the support. Thanks.

Good thinking Sir @eurogee...
When people get curated it would act as an incentive to want more and technically do more...

Yes. Thanks

You are a true steeminvangelist, the bar need to be raise, many newcomers came with high hope and they left as you said no significant earnings on their posts, and many might have some value that will rock this platform, hence they left. Your suggestion for the #introduceyourself post should be truly look into.

Yes boss. Thanks for your support on this

Market shall surely move in the direction we all anticipate. Until then, cheer up!

🤞🏼 It will happen very soon, let's claim it...

I agree with you sir that first impression should be amazing like my introduceyouself post my earning for that was $10+ as a first post it motivates me to continue... 😘😘😊❤️

Exactly. I hope steemit Inc would reason with us. Thanjs

With this, the newbies will be retained. Infact it's an awesome idea!!

I am glad you reasoned with me
