RE: 75M+ Coming To STEEM Without Changing What They Are Doing???? This Could Be Huge!!!!
I, before I did jumped on the Steem blockchain, was blogging on blogger. And yes if was even harder there to get noticed and don’t even speak about the money part.
Steempress could be a great tool to lure these blogs to the Steem blockchain!
But if they only post via the tool and don’t interact with their audience won’t it then just damage the blockchain?
Like you wrote, steemit is at the moment more a blog competitor than a facebook competitor! But it some facebook like features. But we need to encourage people to interact with each other! Not only to post and forget!
But yes, it could be a catalyser from the Steem blockchain but it will depend on how the people will use it!
I would imagine some of the ones who come over would interact. Like anything, some will, some wont.
For me, the key point is that having blog posts from Wordpress posted on Steemit, automatically, that could really increase the size for the Google bot. With more pages, Steemit becomes a better ranked site. This will help to push more organic traffic.
Plus, having the authors on here is great but what about the readers? This is the true nugget. How many people read all these different Wordpress sites. Getting a portion of them would be a windfall too.
If only 0.5% of those authors will come to the Steem blockchain it would be around 375K users. We now have a little above 65K daily active users, so it would mean a huge jump in activity on the blockchain. A much needed one!
Not only that, imagine that one of those big shots, will announce that they will be moving to the Steem blockchain, that would open the flood gates :)
They don't have to pay anymore for the storage of the blog, which will decrease the costs! But what maybe will held them back to make the jump, is the URL. Some of these will have their own URL and it will be hard to give this up and to destroy all their build up rankings in the search engines. Maybe that is another feature that the blockchain will have to implement. Let's assume that they need to pay X amount of steem to be able to use their own URL. This is maybe something the steem blockchain needs for mass adoption!
The URL could stay the same, it would just need to be directed at the blockchain. And if they have pics or videos, that would have to still be stored on a cloud service or their own servers. Pics and videos are not on the STEEM blockchain....anything submitted through Steemit is on AWS.
The challenge at the moment is the sign up process. I am hoping the Steemit development team is close to solving that issue. Looking at the stats the last few days, only 500-700 signups per day.
I know there is more interest than that.
Upvoting your comment, because I wanted to add the exact same thing. Although having great content on Steemit is awesome, and more activity on the STEEM blockchain will help us grow, they might only come to 'get' upvotes, and most of them will not give back their (over time valuable) upvotes.
