It's all in our best interests as steemians to grow the user base. We can do this, the power of compounding is exponential.
Of course we have an online presence and can use links and other social media to get new people to sign up.
However in this post i want to discuss the top ways to physically recruit people that we know, friends, family, coworkers, the 711 cashier guy, people you see and talk to in the real physical world.
1. Show them the trending page with the top payouts and show them the money being made
2. Show your own blog posts and wallet
3. Mention bitcoin and cryptocurrency and explain how its the best site to learn and get started hands down.
4. Play to what you know about them , what there interests are and suggest they make posts about it on steemit and Dtube
5. Explain the benefits of lack of censorship and sticking it to the man( like suckerberg) freedom and decentralization etc...
6. Tell them how nice,cordial and helpful everyone is... no trolls or haters or drama like other social media
7. Ask them if they do facebook or other mainstream sites and say " why are you making content for free"
8. Explain the concept of getting in early and growing there reputation for long term gain. As well as mentioning steem has more daily transactions than bitcoin and is actually practically being used by masses in daily transactions.
9. Do this all with a sidearm on your hip or waving around a nail gun. just kidding
10. Show them the trending page and the payouts.
This may even require holding there hand and walking them through the sign up process and basics
Of course be selective and choose people who will most likely dive right in... entrepreneur types, artsy types, people with passionate hobbies or skills, but really anyone with a pulse could get into this platform.
Friends and family you can trade votes with and stay connected.
We have 30K active users on a daily basis and around 400k total users signed up. If we can all get just 1 person we know to sign up its going to grow the site and payoff for everyone. More people more votes, simple, and then more people to recruit even more people till we hit critical mass and hit the headlines and explode....
I'm sure i missed alot and i'm sure you'll tell me, any comments or ideas.... lets brainstorm. Its up to us
