RE: First Steemit Meetup in India: The Worlds Second biggest market!
Why to market in India? India owns 18%(1.2+ Billion) of the world population and more than 16%(185+Million ) of people use social media sites.
This statistic is based on facebook usage. You cannot assume (it is a very big assumption） that facebook usage determines how many people use social networks within a country. For instance WeChat, the platform I use in China is considered a social network, and 700 million people use that in China alone. Whether or not there is any hope of China having a reasonable representation on steemit is a a whole other discussion.
I completely agree with your point. I wanted to give people a brief overview of the users using facebook and getting nothing for their photography, blogs and memes. If we promote steemit in India and encourage them to learn about steemit then it can give a good boost to steemit community. People will love to join steemit, all we need to do is tell them about it. Just think If even 2% of Indian facebook users join steemit then it will be around 3.5+million users. This is what I wanted people to know. I have a facebook page of around 3.5k likes, I will difinitely promote there too.
