RE: Writers, Why not Cross Post on STEEMIT and Earn?
I actually posted about Steem on Facebook today (again). A couple of friends who already use it liked that post, but that's about it. It is an uphill battle to get people to try it, so I try to aim for people who I think might get it.
I think what we need is for a few well-known people to start using it so we can point to them as examples.
Exactly my experience :) Only those of my friends who already are here like, comment and appreciate my Facebook posts about Steem :D :/ The rest (99% of my FB friends base) just ignore it...
That’s the problem. It’s so hard to get folks to actually commit to trying it out. It’s mind boggling. In the comic world, I have friends or acquaintances that write fantastic pieces with awesome insight. Yet each attempt to wrangle them here thus far is ignored or push aside with a “I’ll check it out”.
We need a better pitch and I don’t know what that is.
There are some, but it's usually extremists who have been kicked from the centralised social media sites. Is the STEEM blockchain the last stand? I would prefer it not to and attract the masses.
You can earn something by cross-posting. I'm not asking people to ditch their blogs, just duplicate (with citation).
We have some extremists and some who are known in the crypto world, but we need more household names, e.g. musicians, writers, entertainers. It may not be as simple as cross-posting as they really need time to respond to comments.
That is true, I can only try and promote what we have as best I can.
Same here. I have tried to make bands aware of it, but they may be overloaded just dealing with FB, Twtr etc where they can reach a much bigger audience. If some of them decide to go all in with Steem they could get their true fans to follow them so they can give their support. Maybe we need to give a push to some of the great creators we already have so they can show others what is possible.
