I do note your example of India, where $5-$10/day can mean a lot to someone. I've taken a different approach in that I've been explaining the platform to a few people, but have minizmied the money aspect at first because I think if you come in with a 'hard sell' with that feature, it can turn people off, thinking it's a scam.

Also as a female, it's tricky because once I start talking about cryptocurrency, I begin to see blank stares. My softer sell approach has been to mention Steemit those that write blogs or are creative in other ways that are trying to get noticed (but aren't right now) and presenting Steemit as a easier way to get noticed as the community is much more engaged here. Then I mention the monetary aspect. So far I've been liking this approach, particularly with females.
