RE: Crowdsourcing the Future w/Marketing Plan Announcement
@exyle @andrarchy
This is how I understand it:
Open market of growth proposals and Steem based projects
= You can propose a project and the community will decide if you get the support/funding.Cooperative idea sharing driven by a community based decision making process
= A place where ideas are gathered and then the community decides on the best ideas and on execution.Projects partnering with one another with the Steem community and with the Steemit team.
= Bringing together people with one another and with the Steemit team, so that they can cooperate productivelyDesigning protocols that will help organize the Steem community
= The necessary infrastructure for points 1-3 to actually workClarifying publishing strategies and tactics to be used once Steemit.com is optimized to capitalize on marketing efforts.
= Better communication with the user base (you and me) about future movesInfluence and outreach with the community…hone methods…AB tests…choose the right community…in advance (WHAT?!)
= Ways to increase your influence and outreach with the help of the community / hone methods (no clue) / AB tests: test different designs of the Steemit website to see which get the most conversion / choose the right community (no clue)Experimenting with methods accelerating the development of partner projects on the Steem blockchain.
= Find ways how to promote Steemit apps or other projects like Busy
Basically, they want to channel the energy that everybody is putting into helping Steemit. Until now, most efforts and great ideas have been lost into posts that have been long forgotten and nobody is reading anymore. A place where all this information is bundled, refined and used to build upon, will greatly help Steemit.
Hi @homosapiens,
You're on the right track with this. We have all this energy that's being lost into the void. That's just a waste. But a few guys will never be able to do what this community can collectively. And as said previously, us doing all the marketing alone won't scale.
So while the technology we need to have a more competitive product (communities, effortless onboarding) is in production, we need to create the protocols and systems that allow us to effectively use our time and energy.
We could lay out documentation on influencer engagement tomorrow, but what would be the point? We have no way of effectively coordinating, no way of deciding where to focus our efforts. Meanwhile all the brilliant ideas go unnoticed, because it would still be a top down approach. So instead we'd like to create the structures for putting all the great efforts to good use.
Given your comments, it seems you really get that, so good on you.
You are correct. Stick to the game plan, there are a lot of naysayers.
