Let's Talk Marketing.

I was going to post earlier, but the topic of the day appeared to revolve around the F word: Forks.

I'm not sure how I feel about that stuff, so let's skip any discussion about forks and talk about something else.

Yesterday (and I'm using the term liberally since it's like 3am now), I had an awesome time at a meetup in San Francisco. Huge thanks to Hive account@llfarms for posting the invite. I was blown away by how intelligent, knowledgeable, and helpful she was. I learned a lot.

I was able to meet Hive account@steemcafe (who is full of life and character) and Hive account@goldmatters (extremely friendly) and so many others. Mike (from Partiko), what the heck is your username?

For the majority of the 5 hours there, I was speaking in depth with Hive account@andrarchy (who I found to be super authentic and down to earth). We poked each other's brains a bit. Had some great dialogue.

My biggest take away is that he's accessible and supportive of community-driven marketing initiatives. So what the heck.

What are we waiting for?

I tossed him some ideas. He said let's do it. I said "cool". He said "cool".

Everything's cool.

So less talking. More doing.

I'm pretty busy, so I'm probably gonna grab a copywriter, designer, and possibly a campaign manager to do all the heavy lifting. Whatever media they produce will be distributed to...well...everyone. All assets and resources for promoting Steem related developments will be open to the public.

It'll start off small. Just enough to get a feel for what works and what doesn't.

If you want in, let me know. But you need to have samples of what you can do.

This year is all about market share. That's where the war will be fought. We need to re-direct any energies from in-fighting to outward growth.

I think people forget how much cool stuff is in our hands right NOW. Stuff that is either unspoken or not properly understood. It wouldn't take much to create an avalanche of positive press. It really wouldn't.

I'll post an update soon.

In the meantime, go play Steem Monsters. So much cool stuff is going to happen with the game this year. WEEEEEeeeeee!!!!
