RE: More unfuckers! They keep coming.

in #steem7 years ago

Truth is, I see many people doing meetups and dumping new users here on the platform without even figuring for a way to help them develop or grow in earnest, I think this is great welcoming the unfuckers, nice here sir @aggroed

Sort:  

I've gotten a few people to join with moderate success, but watching them lose motivation based on lack of being seen and lack of community(for brand new people it's tough when you don't know anyone or haven't used discord, especially those who aren't tech savvy). My upcoming goal is to help them develop their blogs and understand how to best grow and promote. It's only a few people so far, but I feel like growing a community with both new people I meet on steemit, and people I know in real life that I think could succeed this early on the site, is really important for long term success of my blog and steemit in general.

I can certainly see how that could be a problem. Maybe Steemians need to organize an "internship" of sorts. Like @Aggroed has done with our UnFuckers group, give newbies an opportunity to partner up with an experienced Steemer to show them the ropes.
Another idea might be to have a kiddie pool area, where newbies can put their posts- and ask experienced steemers to check out the "kiddie pool" area once a day, to resteem a post from the pool- a post that they feel deserves to be resteemed and be recognized as a good post content. This would encourage getting new material out into the greater Steem community AND would also encourage newbies to work hard to produce GOOD material. win win in my opinion!

not a bad idea. but if you ask me, that kiddie pool would be so full, maybe one of 10k kiddies :) ...would be resteemed

Ya, those are good ideas, I like the mentor idea best. I am trying to help out whoever I get to join, but don't have a ton of time otherwise. I just posted this article for newbies, hopefully it helps
