Though I'd be a thorn in the side of any Bernie supporters, I love your concept. It makes a lot of sense, but seemed like something that would mature later on as the platform develops. Tell more.
Why do you think it it would develop later as the platform develops?
My thought was that it would mature and, since it's in the form of a blog, that other services would naturally develop, such as newsletter services, maintaining email lists, account linking, etc. Seems like you might be ahead of the curve, if I'm reading correctly.
For now you would probably have to do it manually, but if the system let you make an RSS feed from your posts it could bbe automated.
haha, when I voted for your response, it got things out of order. I doubt there's much we can do about that.
Yeah, I've been thinking about that. It might be a great to build a mailing list.
Cool. What else did you have in mind?
I'm not sure why I can't reply to your last post. Looks like Steemit.com limits how nested the conversation can get, which I find annoying. Anyway, to do what I'm suggesting requires having your own domain to put up a simple page that provides a way for people to subscribe to your content via email. You'd need to use something like aweber.com to manage the email list and notify people when your content is at the 30 min mark.
Yeah, it can only go so deep, then you have to find the previous post to reply.
I have one with MailChimp, though I haven't done much with it for a couple of years. More recently I've used XYZ's newsletter plugin on another site where he actually has some subscribers. :)
Are you able to set it up so it automatically emails, or does it have to be done manually.
I doubt that the platform will develop email list management functionality, but it is possible. Right now someone can drop links into their posts to encourage people to get their strong performing content right at the 30 min mark via email and this will help the authors and the curators make more money.
I was thinking maybe plugins or something like that, even if it's offsite, like WordPress has or some of the apps that are able to read a feed then broadcast it.
I'd love to learn more. Just a little minnow today, but I have aspirations to brave the open oceans. :)
Well, it will mostly help the authors make more money, but it will entice some curators to participate as well.
I didn't have much else in mind besides building an email list, other than emailing that list with your Steemit.com posts as they near the 30 minute mark.
Sweet idea. Thanks for sharing.
My recent article has done pretty well, though it's well past the 30 min mark. I don't know that it's the right material for your readers though. My perspective is clealry different. What do you think?
