Great initiative! But I am out of the game I guess since I have already brought here those of my friends and family members who let me fully explain how cool our community and the blockchain is :) Yet, out of those 10+ people I have recruited, just a few remain active :(
Totally get it @phortun, I've had similar experiences with some friends sticking around, and others dropping off. I'm planning to reach out to a few "casual friends" that maybe I used to work with or something that could be a good member of the community. An example is a girl I know that just left in an Air Stream to live the "van life" for a while and wants to monetize her travels and is posting on Insta., but isn't really sure how... so i don't know if you know people like that - but thought i'd mention that example in case it sparks anything!
Hey @coruscate! Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, I have been also trying to recruit people that are somehow creative or that I just feel they might be doing well here for some reason but still, the drop off rate is quite high :( But yeah, travelers, digital nomads, photographers etc. are perfect candidates for (full-time?) Steemians :) I am sure once the price goes up, it will be easier to make our community bigger. Anyway, thanks for your effort, keep it up! :)
Another strong sale to users about steem has nothing to do with content. We have a savings account that people can put steem into and it locks it for only 3 days. No other crypto coins have such a secure and easy way to #buildsteemsavings.
