RE: If I Could Only Give You One Tip on Steemit, Here's What It Would Be, You Won't Believe How Simple it is!
What if you are an educator and healer by nature (i.e. a woman and mother). It is tricky to know how to tailor your know-how, which looks behind the cottage garden industry of your life. Who is your target audience? Do they even come to Steemit? Could this become a community for what has yet to be revealed? An evolutionary platform? Is it possible for a new "movement" to find momentum in virtual reality? That's what I'm hoping to explore. Are we ready for new visions? Few indications in that direction so far.
I would start with the most practical knowledge you own, the thing that would appeal to the widest possible audience. Then, I 'd create a headline with a big promise. Tell them you'll solve a problem for them. Don't worry about revealing behind the scenes, until you get them in the door. Teach, give away as much as you can. First, you might get a good payout here. Second, you'll have three kinds of readers, those that need what you say, and might even want to engage your services, buy your products, etc, second kind; will use your advice, but they are self starters who just need a little guidance to do their own research, etc, but will send others to you.Third kind, were never your audience, don't worry about them, but if you follow the #dolphinschool tag, you'll get a lot more tips. Thanks for asking a great question!
Yes, but this is normal marketing stuff. I thought Steemit was meant to be different....see my post. For a spiritual researcher it is not easy to decide to go (back) to that game, and one definitely doesn't want to end up giving advice New Age-style. I'm in a difficult non-market!
All you suggest is definitely easier than what I am trying now! I might even give it a go as a last bit of fireworks. It's not like I haven't got a library full of one-liners.
Thanks for your extended reply.
Game? You mean human psychology? So,offering to help people is too gimmicky for you? Guess you're just out of luck. There is no other way. Sorry. You can offer all the new age help you want, but first, find people that want it.
I don't think you read me too closely.... I exactly do NOT want to hand out New Age help. And what's luck got to do with it? I was wondering what people need, and who knows what they really want anyway? And why can't they find it in real life? What's wrong with us? Are we really in need of anything else but validation and attention here? What is your value really on Steemit if not a number? I think these are the topics that could be investigated by a platform like Steemit, instead of it becoming another Face-booky place.
Of course, and you know it, a player yourself, that Steemit is 50% a game! Where there is money involved there is always a smart way to play it. So my inquiry is how that fits with the idea that Steemit is all about being genuine and true to yourself?
Besides, I wouldn't get to psychological about anything here. You should put a warning on the tin if you are going to (seriously?) suggest we offer psychological help! It's just another club and for some it's fun, for others small-fry business. For most, actually, it comes with additional stresses and insecurities. We must all be wary of the addiction it can become, covering up failure, loneliness or boredom.
There are a lot of nets when you make yourself a Steemian Fish....
Psychology, of marketing. Okay, have a nice day.
