RE: The key to promoting Steem is NOT promoting Steem
What if Vincent and I (just an example) managed to get a following off steemit. We still have our steemit connections. We still love steemit. We still use steem. We met at steemit. But let’s say we get more attention on YouTube and Spotify or wherever else. We don’t push people or create excessive monetary incentives, we don’t obsess about steem, we just mention it from time to time in a very good light. We have guests who are fellow steemians. This seems like a much more likely way to attract new users.
I like this thought and will definitely spend some time pondering it.
We don’t need to convert people, we just need to expose them naturally.
100% true. It should definitely not be like religion.
This is not the purpose of our podcast by the way. We are just having fun. But if all of us just tried to take advantage of our wonderful community here and share it off-chain without preaching, I think it could really help adoption. If we all work hard off-chain but keep our connection, we will bring up the platform as we bring ourselves up.
Another awesome paragraph to finish off this post.
Let's keep having fun, in- and outside of Steemit. Eventually it will rub off on the outer world. And if it doesn't, at least we've had fun ;>)
