RE: Let's Make STEEM a Top 20 Cryptocurrency - SteemBlast September 3
I like the idea to raise awareness as none of my friends have any clue about apart from the ones that i have tried to convince to join. Just a couple of thoughts on the matter which have probably already been discussed.
The timing: I see that you are pushing for it to be on the 3rd of September but is this not a bit premature. Does it really make sense to promote the blockchain and steemit before the hardfork at the end of the month which will fix the issues with signing up? I know that you are pushing more towards investors with this blast but if you are pushing steem across social medias trying to catch peoples attentions will it not be counter productive if they then go to try and join only to face the same joining delays that have already cost us thousands of members.
The message: Do you have a clear media package put together and ready to go. If you are going ahead on the 3rd then it would be great to have everybody working off the same sheet. If people are just all putting up there own separate messages there could be confusion and contradictions in what people are seeing. If the main team has a set package of facts and graphics that everybody can work from, it would be great as you can be assured that everybody is getting the same correct info. I know you have said that there will be material ready but do you have an all encompassing package that will cover everything that people will need to know?
Profile picture: It would be great to have a good and simple profile picture that members can put up with a small message about steem. I know if i saw a few of my friends putting up the same profile picture on facebook it would catch my interest at the very minimum. If all your contributors were to put up the same profile across multiple medias it should get some people to do a little more research into the subject and hopefully come across the more in depth content that you are providing.
Just a couple of thoughts from me anyway. Feel free to use or ignore.
It's definitely getting better and there is a lot more in the works. All of the apps coming on-stream are going to add users and value to the blockchain which does bode well for investors. I'm not trying to be negative by any means but these were the first place my thoughts went so i usually follow them.
I have great respect for all the people here who are working towards a better blockchain from any angle and investment is obviously an important one. Hopefully this will be a success and get a lot of people interested in what we have here. I will be looking forward to your media package and will play whatever part i can at the time.
There are still a lot of issues on here that will need to be taken on at some stage but for now growing the site is a worthy aim. Best of luck with it.
I'm well aware of the many issues too, and working hard to address those as much as I can :)
I'm sure you are as i have been following your account for a long time and have seen some of the good work that you are doing. Fair play to you and to the other people that are putting in the hard graft to improve the site, it doesn't go unnoticed even if it might be under appreciated.
Would it be possible to get the material at least a day before the event so we have extra time to work from it and write something of quality? I like this idea.
I want to make sure people aren't promoting false messages to "investors" by saying things like "sign up for steemit because you can make $1,700 per post here." I've seen so so so much of that clickbait stuff on youtube followed by hundreds of comments "wow I signed up."
If you join our discord group, everything is being prepared ahead of time and shared in there.
Oh great, thanks!
@niallon11 I really like what you said about having a clear message that everyone can kind of work from. It would be not so great if people were spreading misinformation, etc. I was thinking the same thing. Glad to see you brought it up. Upvoted
Thanks @nomadicsoul. I think that there are so many great people here all working towards the same goal so if I can do anything of help I will. I just think that's it's important for people outside to see it. I've introduced a few people to steemit but they all lost interest fairly quickly without giving it a proper chance. I've heard the same story hundreds of times so I think that's it's important that a clear message goes out with what we do have here and not just people pushing the site for the sake of it.
The blockchain has some great features and hopefully the package that they put together can show that to investors and potential users alike.

Yes I completely agree about not just pushing the site for the sake of it. I've also had friends lose interest quickly and leave =/. And I've also seen the effects of people pushing the site on youtube and then false expectations were spread so of course they were never met and people got frustrated and left.
I'm sure though that we'll prepare a good message!!!
I'm sure that the team will. Timcliff knows a lot about the site and won't just be pushing a get rich quick scheme. What you said about people's frustration is the same story that I've heard a thousand times and it's because people don't undrstand the site. It can be a bit tricky to use at first and it will be slow but that's the same as any site really.
If I join Instagram companies won't pay me millions to showcase their products because I'm a nobody with no followers. They pay stars with millions of followers and famous followers the big money to do it. Its the same here, people with lots of followers and powerful friends will make more money on their posts and people need to realise this coming in. If your good at what you do then people will follow you and eventually you will make some money but you have to build a profile first.
