RE: Why Blockdeals isn't just another Steem App
Wow, I'm new on Steemit, but I am surprised that I read about your project the first time. It should be much bigger and more known.
One way of getting attention would be through in-article advertisements on Steemit. You just have to ask a few popular Steemians if they were willing to support your project by embedding an ad link in their posts that leads to your site. Here's what I mean:
Perhaps you could even pay advertisers a share of the revenue if they were referring the customer, which would put them into a position that they can pick the specific product for the ad.
Oh, and one more thing: You should clarify which currency you mean with "$". Is it USD, Steem or SBD?
Bottom line: Your project is a great idea. I wish you the best of luck with it!
Hey, thanks for the feedback. It's really helpful.
We haven't started advertising yet and to be honest we'll be focusing more of our attention on the existing deal and bargain sharing community's outside of Steemit.
But a little internal advertising isn't a bad idea either.
As for the $ amount, it's likely to be the currency that the deal is offered in. This is a global deals site, and soon we'll make it default to your country or origin (although you can select it manually now)
Adding USD, AUD etc can get messy but that said if anyone is posting a deal in SBD or STEEM they'll need to specify this.
