Today was a day like no other. The first ever #promo-steemit event in Uganda.
This was a massive event that met the expectations we had. Attracting people from all kinds of life; students from universities, graduates, working class, most of whom didn't know a thing about steemit.
We have been creating awareness for 2weeks. Using all social network platforms to get #promo-steemit Uganda event to reach all people around the country. And this proved to have gone well, as we had more than 40 people coming for the event. A number we had expected for the start.
People got to learn about steemit and what a difference it can make to their lives. A huge number signing up as they felt they couldn't be left out of the earning boat.
People learnt about content writing. As steemit pays for content and not just posting, something we had to let the new users know about.
Much love from Uganda fellow steemians. We are starting to drive this big in Uganda. And this is a good stage as more users get onto the platform.
