HEY!! WE NEED ATTENTION!
Remember that NewSteem was and is an advertisement idea. A campaign, not a fix all things about Steem, but for a few days it was also a new lens, a chance to reimagine Steem with a revamped inflation pool. (no one calls it rewards anymore) A new fund for community projects, better scalability and our improved functionality of Scot Tokens and Tribes.
Like minded people can create, market and onboard for basically any idea they want. They can have the right to refuse service, or create a help desk. The options are unlimited... But the demand is not.
I've heard 765,998 ish ideas on what Steem is or what it should be... many of them could work. No matter if everyone agreed and we became new magic perfect Steem... No one is going to care if we don't get attention.
I can come up with a marketing idea, like NewSteem... but I am not that great at the polish.
I would think our target market could be social media users both in or out of crypto.
Our message to the crypto world is... Steem is not the old Steem, maybe they get curious and look again. I think it is important to keep in mind marketing should include the idea we are a bit rough around the edges.
No matter how great we are.. WE NEED ATTENTION. We need people to see and say our name.
We need a Stunt, We need a controversy, we need a hype release.
No one has any reason to come looking for us, we have to get our name out there.
We need attention!
How should we get it?
You know what we need actually... we need steem price to PUMP!! Once we all start making some serious money everyone will ask us how we are making money and they will swarm in to sign up and buy up steem to power up
But we need steemit to stop dumping or run out of steem
We need people who already have a big following to come here and stay here....
What happened to the hodgetwins?
What happened to furious Pete (i think that was his name)
They came here for the income they could make + the uncensorsable nature of our blockchain
But steem and steem dollars are not longer over $3
765,998 is an impossible and exaggerated number...it has too many zeros..😎
haha
What if we threaten to quit the platform unless other people do push-ups?
yeah but you should just do the pushups and video and post
don't comment or use discord cause why would you want to engage with your audience?
lol

I think just some marketing at all would do the trick.
If you are viewing coinmarket cap website and click on the Announcement, it brings you to a BitcoinTalk.org page where most people call it a scam over the years. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1466593.0
If you view their twitter, up until recently they never really tweeted, and when they did got almost no interactions/likes/retweets. Lately they are doing better but they aren't using hashtags correctly(mainly using #steem and #steemit as tags which they should be using #cryptocurrency #socialmedia or something else to get engagement).
I noticed on Eli Powell's post that they are earning somewhere around 40k usd to 50k usd a month with ads, but if they just curated with their 31 million Steempower(that isn't even delegated to anyone so why is it powered up) then they could earn about that much a month in curation rewards. Its an easy funding source they already have powered up and aren't using.
Ned has gone on some tv shows and old school MSM networks before, but most people would have no idea what he is talking about so its kinda pointless to advertise to MSM crowd. Ned or some others should go onto cryptocurrency podcasts/talkshows or do a podcast/livestream with big youtubers who are part of the anti-censorship movement. I'm sure many of them would be interested.
They should have ads on reddit/twitter/facebook promoting how Steem is censorship resistant and the abilities of the video/livestreaming/gaming dapps built on it, 3 second blocktime, free transactions if you hold some network power, etc. Most people hang out in those 3 places and that's where the ad dollars should be spent.
The most obvious thing they should start doing right now is using curation rewards to fund advertising. I don't see why anyone would have issues with that, its a great way to use their curation rewards.
There isnt a need for users to power up their accounts beyond what is necessary to interact. Thats the reality of it, so I think its important to highlight that fact. I'm not sure what type of barriers to account creation exist now, and it was a point of contention before, but perhaps it makes sense to allow a front end user account that does not interact with the blockchain yet, but allows views. Doing so would generate ad dollars from unique hits. In addition to that, the front end account would be queued on the list for full account creation status.
One strong point to this suggestion would be that a normal password can be used, which is more familiar to people.
I understand that you dont need an account to view anything, which is the counterpoint, but atleast a user can start seeing the interface and generally get a feel for what can be done.
Right, there isn't almost any need currently for users to have much power. For gaming and posting a lot of comments there is. For posting a few blogs a week and 10 to 20 comments a week you need probably less than 15 or 20 Steempower. To game and do lots of actions on the blockchain you need a lot more than that.
SteemitINC isn't doing almost anything to advertise why people should use the blockchain, or for projects, or dapps, or videos, etc. They could easily make the price of Steem go up if they were organized and have lots of users coming in(that creates buy pressure). When people are buying Steem because they need it to interact more, that's what we need to drive the price up. Nobody really knows about Steem in the crypto world and that's the fault of SteemitINC for not advertising/going on podcasts to get the word out/being a presence on social media/etc.
A ragtag bunch of random users on Steem are not going to organize and start a huge advertising campaign. Everyone talks about doing it but they never do. Sad to say, JerryBanfield was really the only one doing that.
People are willing to pay for digital items when it comes to video games, so it makes sense for people to want to buy more SP to have more RCs.
But aside from gaming why would one need more RCs? (I'm talking out loud here, but at this point, why not. We're in pure discovery mode!)
Its all about performing transactions but for the average poster, it's not gonna matter because you don't need alot of SP to perform 99% of functions. But there needs to be a driver, or a higher cost to transact.... The cog is still spinning.
Seems legit to me

If stinc were to 'use their sp' every other vote goes down in rshares.
When a whale votes, or delegates, EVERYBODY else loses money.
Be glad that most whales recognize that fact and leave some crumbs for the newbs.
They didn't always.
Right, but thats at the expense of no advertising and not many users. It would likely be a more robust blockchain if we had more people here, more dapps, more gaming, more videos, more blog posts, etc.
By Steemit fearing their use of curating for selling rewards for advertising, they are not getting users.
It's just the way a commons works.
If they put all those rshares into play our shares become a smaller slice of the whole.
If they get the math right, we won't need to advertise.
Just the promise of a working platform brought in the first million, no problem.
The reality of stinc kneecapping us has stopped that flow.
Get us back to math that works for the masses and we will be wanting to charge folks to get an account.
back when Ned was making the rounds on some TV shows we were still getting new users. Getting people like James Corbett and RT to talk about us was a win for a bit.
Now it is just radio silence about us out there.
I've done about all I can to push Steem, but I'm small fry in social media and don't have any celebrity contacts. We need to get more big names on board, but then they need to commit time. Steem is too small to be interesting to some, even if they can earn something. I see the price dropped again, which won't help, but it is only likely to really grow if the platform takes off. We need people who are prepared to gamble on that happening. If it gets to millions of people then earning Steem will be much harder. We pioneers stand to benefit.
Yeah, those who want to get a celebrity do not realize celebs come where their fans are... not the other way around.
That is part of the problem. I think we are better aiming for those with a niche following who could stand to gain from Steem and have a chance of persuading their fans to move. I am supporting musicians and artists who are already here as they are likely to have contacts who may be interested.
This may be controversial yet they are a well known alternate news source that have an account here RT America (I know, they are a bit on the progressive side...). And how about the SPAWN Ska-Punk bunch! They are here.
There are a few controversial characters here, including a UK far-right guy. Some people think Steem is a good home for them after they were de-monetised elsewhere, but I'll support others.

Fair enough sir.

Yeah, I dunno. Tried again today. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? ... HA!
Oh dude you forgot to do the seven push ups, man. You can't forget the seven push ups.
You do six pushups. Nobody will care... But the moment your crank out that seven...
It's moonshot buddy!

Holy smokes! I'm actually 2 days late responding! I'm slippin! ...I just found out about the seven pushups to the moon! Was living under a rock I guess. Found out the hard way so I tore a strip out of his ass and carried on my merry way.... to the moon!
Don't spread this but I'm going to start parodying the 777 pushups thing... All in good fun.
Already have a green screen and going to edit in stupid things known to be ridiculously heavy.
Today, kids I will be doing my 7 pushups with a Snorlax on my back.
Tomorrow, a 747 jet.
The next day, Thor's hammer.
Maybe throw in a supermassive blackhole.
And that's just my warm up, dude!

Dude. The moon. Do one with the moon.
Of course. It was so obvious. Can't believe I didn't think of that. Sure will!

I am looking forward to this parody with great anticipation.
Thanks!

You commented on a comment once, you're cool!
haha. Well you should just keep doing what you do! :)
A contest. The first person to prove that Ned is Satoshi Nakamoto’s hair consultant wins 10,000 CT tokens.
haha... oh boy. I was thinking like... Naked skydivers with Steem tattoo'd on them jumping out of a plane ...
Imagine real people rather than shill accounts
Real content rather than posts about cryptos and Steem
And no "featured posts" (they seem to be gone today so I'm commenting again so long as they stay gone, but its featured posts or me)
If that is too radical, (actual content is pretty intense for "social media") just fill it up with porn and pictures of baboons arses - which would be a big improvement over the current content...
yeah, I agree
