AskSteem: Have you invited any new people to Steem lately?
As we're getting closer to figuring out the best way to start putting our claimed accounts to good use with OCD and co-operating with @steemonboarding and hopefully other, I wanted to ask if the community and users able to claim free accounts are inviting users to Steem.
I hope that with how times have changed and prices not being the highlight of your pitches that you have plenty of other reasons to invite people you know or think would like what Steem has to offer. We've seen how leading with "you can make money" can easily backfire and lead to a lot of inactive accounts shortly after once they realize that nothing in life comes easy, not even on Steem.
We have a lot of new and big dapps now though allowing users to earn something through gaming, working out and all kinds of various things. I hope the community and other older users will also be leading with that this time around.
Is there anything that is stopping you from inviting people today though? What i that case? Steemit account creation doesn't look to have a queue either lately so even if you are not able to claim free accounts yourself your friends would not have to wait for too long to get an account - instead you can always encourage them extra with a delegation which they would surely appreciate having a voting slider thanks to you.
So, have you invited any new people to Steem lately? How did that go?
I have invited two of my friends and now they are more active on Steemit than I am :(
Well that seems like a good problem to have, lol.
One guy recently bought nearly 7000 steem but hasn’t powered it up. He’s more an investor and won’t be blogging. He’s attending SteemCamp next month and I work with him. Just need to work on him some more.

Let him know that he'd be able to earn a better passive income if he powered it up and did something with it, would be nice if we would have faster powerdowns though just in case people feel "trapped" cause of it.
Oh he's well aware of the passive income benefits... I have shown him umpteen times.., and he keeps saying he's gonna power it up.. but then never does..., @goblinknackers... check the wasted potential..
So far, I’ve invited 2 people that have recently joined. They’re @projecticarus and @gabrielgee 👍😁 They’re close friends of mines so I’m pretty excited that they’re a part of the community now😃
I invited a Swedish guy I met on the train. We spoke for about two hours about crypto and I am pretty sure he joined. I didn't know him well enough to actually sign him up though.
There are about 30 people here I invited with most being inactive now but, a couple still going strong, a couple sporadically posting.
What stops me is it takes a lot of work to onboard well and mostly it will be "wasted" as few will stay. There aren't many I know in my close circle who are the type of person to put effort into something like steem.
My goal for onboarding is a longer term position to bring in many at the same time rather than one at a time, hopefully with some investment and skills behind them.
Not recently. I am kind of out of people to invite at the moment and out of the ones who I did invite 1 made some posts and 2 made an account but never posted.
I have not invited anyone for a couple of months now despite continuing to claim accounts to do so. I have been thinking to do so for a couple of friends and family that are into gaming and to bring them to Steem Monsters as it work for someone I invited already. However, when I do I want to have time to walk thrm through it and that has limited me of late. Maybe the summer will be a great chance!

Yeah, despite the prices fall, I've got many reasons to invite many friends to #steem lately. Of worthy mention are @Kufray @Anicom @Dezzypraize @Idyjoy @Edyygreat @Funky777 @Georgeluv.
Many more in the coming weeks.
I try to invite everyone I meet to Steem. Most of them want to join but they're not really active.. =(
Many of them might be too young to understand how valuable a blockchain based social media platform could be in the future.
I did have about 4 people sign up, but I think they posted once or twice and then gave up, except my daughter, she was on for about two months but eventually gave up also, and with the price Steem is at right now getting sign ups who will stay is even tougher. I guess everyone wants money fast and Steemit isn't that place.
Yup! My friend @dragonfart took my advice and joined the platform recently. He deserves a cookie because he's one of the very few people who actually took the time to look into it and sign up.
lol hilarious username
Dude's a legend xD
