I got my younger brother on the phone today. Once again after catching up I pitched steemit to him. He is a phone tech like me smart guy but still way into game like I was before I had kids. I told him he could write game reviews or post videos of him playing in dtube. He could share his skills on fixing phone systems or just do ulog post. Some of it appeals to him when we talk but I just can't get him to join. I wanted to know if you guys or gal have an good idea for getting people to join steemit. I have been trying to get my real life friends into steemit for a while now and not one has joined. Steems price drop didn't help but I never told them they would get rich so not sure why that matters. I know the sign up process is a bit strange for them but I am wonder if I should now offer to buy them accounts. I figure I could start them with a few Steem and know than in theory them here should get me some of that back from votes. And in general will make steemit more fun for me. I have meet some really nice people on steemit and a few I would even call friends now. but I would love to be able to keep more in touch with my friend and family here. So how do you get them to join? Just a quick post looking for some ideas. If you have them let me know.
