Top 5 Crowdsourced Growth Ideas for Steemit
In case you haven't noticed, the community is responding to the new crowdsourced marketing initiative from @steemitblog. We are in phase 1 (growth ideas) so now is the time to get involved!
These are the top 5 posts on the trending page for growth-ideas. I think they are all great ideas and that we should work on all of them! Please give your vote or suggestions to support these growth ideas!
Summary and two quotes from each
[1] @cryptocopus's post - Allocate a portion of reward pool for growth projects
Empowering good projects without Steemit INC being involved
Basically, the network could take x% of the reward pool that is currently being divided among content creator/curator/witnesses and build a pool of funds that are to be used for funding #growth-projects that have the support of the community.
[2] @mrwang's post - Video content channels
Using the resources such as Youtube we need to offer channels with different subject content with users approved by a team or committee of media minded people who understand the regulations that might hinder the success of the channels reputation. Each media channel should have a specific subject set as a boundary to funnel all related traffic in it's direction.
[3] @hitheryon's post - Using Steemit as an Educational Platform
We will teach a university-level architectural design course (in New York City) where students will use Steemit as their primary interface.
Alongside our educational proposal (above) we would like to design and build a physical Steem-powered project. Sandbox is an interactive public art project that serves as a resource for community engagement.
[4] @cervantes's post - International Story Writing Contest
An international spanish writing contest shall be organised and the winner’s prize should be high enough to gain enough media attention outside steemit.com and therefore attract new users to the platform
There will be a main prize of $1000, second prize of $500 and third price of $250 to be paid in SBD or STEEM.
[5] my post - Get a Celebrity to Join Steemit
Youtube and Twitter have already upset a lot of their big content providers recently.
SWARM to recruit a celebrity with a big following that will match synergistically with the steemit ecosystem.
Definitely love @mrwang 's post and general concept!! he has my vote!
Great! He just posted his propsal. You might consider donating to his cause.
Thank you, have resteemed this when he posted it. Quit a bit of donating required LOL
Thanks for spreading the word! Let's make them happen!
Let's do it!
We need more great ideas like these to make steemit become mainstream, thanks for highlighting them!
We really just need action now to make the ideas a reality!
What about an outreach and marketing team for the next week in NYC at Ethereal Summit and Consensus?? We know it's last minute, but is there anything we can do?? We have secured tickets as Brand Ambassadors for several projects including EOS , Giveth.io, Swarm City and The Blockchain Exchange... But sponsorship for travel expenses would be so amazing and allow us to produce some amazing content including behind the scenes interviews and private after-parties...
Get a celebrity on here and Steemit goes parabolic....
Exactly! I wish more people could see that! Plus its free!
Yea, it is a great idea, but it might be pretty difficult to actually convince a celebrity to start using Steemit.
For the right price you can book anyone....:)
True, but If they have enough forsight, they could see it would be wildly beneficial for them and everyone involved. A truly synergistic relationship. But it probably take a few months for them to start see the bigger money coming in so. I think the problems people have been having with youtube and twitter lately, is what makes this a great possibilty!
Yea, I agree that it would most likely be very beneficial to both. I think some of the current issue is to even get one of the celebrities to take a look at Steemit, and to figure out how it works. For some reason I expect most of them to not really look at their DMs on Twitter or Facebook, so even getting into contact with one might be very difficult. However, I really agree that this method is something that should be looked into, and it would be amazing if we could get it going!
Plus its free
Like Jayz or Kanye West.....#winks
Excellent post!! thank you for sharing
Thanks for the summary and support!
A lot of YouTubers are being demonetized due to advertisers boycotting advertising on YouTube. This is an opportunity to reach out to them, all they need to do is post an embedded link to their YouTube content & they'll have a new revenue stream - one that could potentially outperform current YouTube advertising income!
