Like everyone else, I feel better about the social dynamics on Steemit. It has a different feel, mostly due to the price rise, but also because people seem happier. At least that's what i'm picking up on.
I created a new goal for myself: to convert 50 people to Steemit.
I've already brought a crapton of people into Steemit, and some of the most successful bloggers on here came in because of reading my articles about Steemit last year. But I want to bring in more people. I've had a couple successes recently on Twitter and Facebook and I'll show you how you can too.
I used these same social techniques when I sold cars. The very first thing I do, ALWAYS, is relate to people in a non-threatening, non-salesy way. No one likes being sold to. People want attention, validation and laughs. So that's what I give them, or at least I try. I don't always succeed, but I try to make friends wherever I go.
Let's take a look at my exchange on Twitter today with a total stranger who just joined Steemit,
:
STEP ONE:
Find something similar, or funny when reading through people's tweets, about a topic you like. I read a ton on Twitter because I like to find out information on a constant basis. I found this guy, 's twitter avatar, and noticed it was Leo DiCaprio, and was the same image in one of my latest Steemit memes I'd used on Facebook and Twitter:
For fun, I tweeted this meme to him in response to one of his tweets:
So, win! He responded with a "LOL".
Here's are next exchange:
And it goes on for quite a while, which was fun. I do enjoy socializing, I won't lie....
So, it went on for a while, then I simply asked in a casual way because I really didn't know if he was already on Steemit or not....I asked, "Are you on Steemit?"
And then I kind of teased him a bit about what angle or game he was going to play in Steemit.......anyway, as you can see, being casual, care-free and non-stressed is truly the key.
Now, it's your turn. Let's all get on Twitter, and engage with people in a fun way.....don't harass people to join Steemit.
Once you create a FOMO atmosphere, people will just join. That's human nature. Use it.
I'll go over what I do on Facebook next. Also, I found a ton of people on twitter who use the #facebookisdead hashtag. Those are our people. Find them. Engage with them in a MEANINGFUL NON-CREEPY WAY.
Cheers,
Stellabelle (the one and only)
