Hi, I am Mark from the Netherlands and crypto been a big part of my life for around 4 years now. My girlfriend loves social media.
I talk with my girl about Bitcoin (and lately Ethereum) all the time. (Well basically I talk and she listens). This behaviour doesn't really drive her insane yet but I haven’t been able to plant that seed in her brain that just make you go Wow! Many awesome technology. As a matter of fact I haven’t been able to plant the seed with anybody, accept a good friend, who is like me, that loves new technology and is a bit of a tech nerd (you know the type..).
So yesterday I discovered Steemit (after vaguely hearing about it in the past and discarding it as nonsense. I guess we all been there...If only I had invested…blabla) and it is great. The idea to be able to make money as a provider of content from a social media platform (equal to Reddit) is amazing. In fact I thought it was so awesome that I decided to invest some bitcoin straight away. I also lost money straight away. I made a bad meme to celebrate (My first test post). Bad Luck Brian seemed appropriate.
But here is the thing. I am not a big user of social media at all. I’m writing this now and maybe I’ll write some more in the future, but I think I’m not the user this platform needs. BUT. My girlfriend loves this stuff: Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Snapchat…you name it I bet she’s using it. She spends hours a day writing and reading posts on these platforms. But the most important thing, she has a million other friends that are also using these platforms every day. Reaching her as a new user of Steemit is allot more important than reaching me, because she has the power to draw a hell of a lot more people to the platform than i ever could.
And here it is I need help. I know I wrote I didn’t really drive her insane yet with my crypto talk, but I’m pretty sure that I actually have. I just have this feeling. So. What would be the right approach to introduce her to this platform? Shall I just skip the whole crypto part and call it a new reddit? Shall I mention it is possible to earn real money? Some tips would be very welcome.
I think Steemit is the most accessible new crypto thing I have seen to date and I would love to introduce her to it.
Mark
