RE: Steem -- So Much More Than Steemit
Earlier this week I started writing an article to use on other sites to promote the Steem blockchain naming all the benefits, but staying away from the monetary aspect where I could.
The idea behind it was to encourage other users to do the same and to be able to provide them with tips and tools they could use to set up their own onboarding campaign.
However, I got stuck. Because I didn't know how to invite people to join, as in: where to send them to create an account without having to wait for a week or two, because 'it's worth the wait'.
All instant access options cost money. Any advice on which one to use?
@anomadsoul and some others have created a new program called @steemonboarding, you can read about it here. They are working on making it multilingual and some other groups are partnering with it. I would suggest taking a good look at the project and sending them there.
Great idea on the onboarding campaign. The more people see the word Steem, the more curious they will become.
Hi @simplymike
that's a very wise path. The problem we're facing is that Steemit has been promoted heavily by people like Joeparys or Jerrybanfield and both of them are focusing on monetary aspects.
They lure people to come here promising great profits. Selling false dreams. Showing how much did they earned. Not even mentioning that they are paying for upvoting bots which really means that their real profit is close to zero.
So called "power-users" brought wrong sort of crowd. Crowd that is focusing only on creating content and hoping to make quick $$$. Crowd that doesnt understand that Steemit is where communities are buing build. Crowd that doenst want to be part of any communities.
If you would ever publish your post then please let me know. Send me memo or drop a message on telegra/discord (username: crypto.piotr). Or perhaps you can get in touch with me via email: [email protected]
I would LOVE to be able to keep in touch with you via DM and email is the best way to do it (since we're most likely living in different time zones).
That's indeed a real problem. It not only cost money but it cost STEEM. Which means that all new users must be aware of crypto and blockchain. There is no way we could have good bloggers/curators who do not know how to buy BTC in the first place.

Remember the campaign we did to get listed on Netcoins? They announced an app the other day where you can sign up online to purchase coins with fiat. I've not completed their signup process to determine that Steem is indeed part of the app. It should be, which means people will finally have a way in directly.
