RE: @Steemonboarding: The Marketing Tool for the Steem Blockchain You have Been Waiting For
Simple STEEM videos in multiple languages are absolutely needed. Thank you for starting this effort!
I want to point out one key element of the mindset of the Onboarded Steemian that was missed.
Popular YouTube, Facebook, etc. users risk being shut down without warning or forced to pay fees to keep blogging. While that doesn't affect most people, it is always a threat to everyone on a centralized platform. Instead of focusing on earnings, one focus is that the user OWNS their social media account. It can not be taken away despite their political beliefs and they will not be forced to pay to continue to use their account or simply denied access to their account for reasons determined by the centralized social media platform.
This is important to onboarding by justifying to those popular bloggers that they need a forever account that can't be manipulated by centralized platform. Models, actors, popular bloggers, youtubers, etc. are under this threat. Many of them have multiple accounts in the event that one account is shut down or they are denied access. If they are onboarded, then they bring many users with them.
The key to onboarding is leveraging the following of popular social media icons. Convince them to join and you will have huge numbers flooding into STEEM.
This is so true and thank you very much for pointing it out. The lack of censorship we have in a decentralized platform is one of the most important aspects!
Thanks you for giving us the idea of doing a programm focused solely to get "youtubestars, instagramstars etc" to our ecosystem.
Just started following you!
I'm so excited to see organized informational STEEM videos, I'm about to jump out of my skin. Thank you for doing this.
One recommendation about censorship. STEEM still has a form of censorship from the community. I wouldn't advertise it as a censorship free environment. Instead focus on the ownership of the account that it cannot be deleted or the user cannot be denied access. That in itself is a major stressor for popular bloggers. They still get censorship from users that choose to ignore them for inappropriate content or respond negatively. I know I'm splitting hairs. Just choose your words wisely when creating videos.
Anyway, exciting time to see a @steemonboarding effort. You should ask @ned to use his bridge studio to film the videos...
