Glad that you were able to bring some new people here. I tried to convince my dad to join steemit but he thought it's a scam. I have even made a post about it.

You have to be able to "sell" Steemit with a few lines. You have to explain it very simple, especially to the people who don't even know what and how Bitcoin works.

Tried that and sadly, didn't succeed. :P I will soon find a better way though. :)))
