I went out for sushi with a friend today, and she told me how she had stopped writing. I suggested that she join Steemit. I told her she could practice her writing and get paid. She looked bewildered and said: “what is it called?” “Steemit with 2 e’s” I said. “You get paid to post and participate.” More confusion. Then the clincher - I told her you get paid in cryptocurrency. I lost her with the funny money and suddenly the subject was changed.
Rule of Seven
Studies have shown that people need to see your advertising seven times before they buy the product.
Repetition in advertising keeps brand at the forefront of a customer’s mind. So I am asking my friends with repetitive frequency to join. The next time we are in contact I will send her a link about how to start a new account on Steemit.
I convinced one of my son's to join Steemit a year ago. Here’s his introductory post:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@carsonhoy/hi-steemit-i-m-carson-and-i-m-going-to-win-grammys
But now he says he doesn’t have TIME to post on Steemit.
People are accustomed to posting on social media sites for free, although those sites collect data and put advertisements in their feed. Steemit doesn’t do this. It simply pays you to post, upvote and comment so the site will grow in users and Steem will become more widely used which will help the community and the currency grow.
The restaurant had a sign saying Visa accepted here.
Call me idealistic, but In the near future, I believe Bitcoin will be accepted there.
Here’s my sales pitch to my friends:
Opening a Steemit account is free.
There is no charge to join
It pays you to post and upvote and comment.
It is not a scam.
It's lots of fun and you learn a lot and meet some amazing people.
You get to practice your writing and photography and get feedback on your ideas.
You can invest your money back into the platform, or exchange it for bitcoin and eventually US dollars.
After seven repetitions, someone will take the bait and join. What have they got to lose?
That is how we will grow the platform! 7X by word of mouth! One person at a time. Each one teach one.
How many people have you recruited to Steemit?
Thanks for reading!
