RE: My thoughts about our potential. Steemit edition.
Well, you have some interesting thoughts here. Not being a very tech person, I'm not sure what can be (easily) accomplished in that regard, but worth thinking about because where there is a will, there is a way.
As to putting "some percentage of the reward pool towards active promotion and advertisement", I do not think that s the way to go.
Instead, just think of this:
if each person who joins steemit would pledge to help two friends to join and then guide them through doing their first post and teach them a little about how it all works - then how quickly would this social revolution spread?
Me and @rouketas had both in the past (and probably will do so in the future) use own funds to promote steemit here in Greece.
As for your last paragraph the snowball effect is real, And it is the biggest part for me not having enough time to paint. But I am really enjoying helping people out and guide them around steemit and the how to's of it. I know at some point I will get the time I need to be more productive for my blog and generate more attention but at the moment I am so socked in to share what I got from steemit with the rest of my local community.
Recently we helped a man to save his house. With your votes what seems to be a lost cause became an ez pz task for some fellow steemians (a greek couple that lives at northern Greece), There isn't much more I could wish for right now of a beta platform.
People like you deserve praise and appreciation. You are putting your money where your mouth is and you are helping thousand of people all over the globe.
I am not a tech genius either but I do believe that where there is a will there is a way too. We will find our way and our place on the global social chart eventually.
@skapaneas you are a good human. Really :)
Thank you bro. You are exceptional too.
Glad you are on our team!
I have carefully read @skapaneas post and I have found out many interesting ideas included.
Steemit is after-all a (still new) social media platform and since most of the greater social media networks can be integrated, why not steemit too?
For instance at the moment a user can connect their twitter account with facebook, and anything posted in one of them, is simultaneously posted in the second. Instagram can be intergrated with a variety of platforms and there are applications such as iftt that can connect multiple channels at once.
Even though I do not agree with delegating SP for doing it, it is a thought that can be examined and with some technical help, it can be determined what are the possibilities and/or enhancements!
On the other hand (complementary to the above thought and not excluding it), I also like the idea of @onceuponatime and I believe that everyone of us has tried to do it to some extent.
People like to share useful knowledge, are happy to review online and rate/criticize products, services (or even people)
I am not sure of 'pledging' though. In order to 'educate' someone, you need to have sufficient knowledge. Otherwise you might have a reverse effect.
People who can do it (educate other people), do it anyways and many of them (even without knowing it) have helped many newbies (including me).
It always comes down to us in the end..
I guess part of the pledge would be to acquire the knowledge you need to spread it to others:

You are right, I should have thought it over more...
I have brought exactly 2 people on steemit and helped them make good money.:D too bad they haven't succeeded in bringing any. :( But they are strong believers in the platform and HODL which is positive :D
Congratulations! Your job isn't done until you have encouraged each of those two people to do the same. Violence and threats aren't acceptable (unfortunately lol). You have to motivate!
They try to do the same but for some reason most people are hesitant to join steemit. I think because it's small and there isn't the "herd" effect yet. In a few years they will be one of those "oww I wish I had got into steemit five years ago I would a rich MOFO by now" guys
Hey guys, it is nice to read you and learn more every time.
If I may post a couple of questions, I would like to ask you what type of people you inform about steemit?
Are they the "amateur or professional blogging" kind of people?
Are they the ones you see that they participate in the social media, so this would make a rewarding alternative?
Or does it not actually matter? You just inform people about it and it is up to them?
I have been thinking gathering some more information and writing about it (when I will have my own blog) and till then I am also talking to a few people I know that they could manage.
What is more important, I think, is to make people believe in the idea. In the future. In the opportunity and the innovation that steemit represent. An easy step in the (otherwise hidden) cryptoworld also.
The Greek-Trail for starters is a great initiative, but to be honest with you it would be nice if there was some more information for newbies. It felt nice to be among Greeks when I got here, but I had to search for every tiny bit of information I needed. Maybe, just maybe (thinking out loud), figure out a marketing plan about promoting steemit in Greece and beyond, and use any means possible (such as social media, email marketing etc..?)
These are some thoughts, maybe even stupid which I will not censor :) Thank you if you have managed to read till the very end.
We are on the process of that we at @greek-trail had a lot of discussions on that matter. We luck the funding for a big scale advertisement project at the moment. We are figuring things out as we go I know its important for people to have the means to get the information they need on time. But that takes patience. We are mostly trying to prepare the ground for the newcomers that will come by great numbers in the near future with dolphins. At this point I say we are still accomulating steem power Hopefully we will be ready on time.
I hope that would suffice. feel free to reach out to us at our facebook group Steemit Greece.
Thank you for replying.
I will be more than happy if I can assist in this.
You can do many things without paying for advertisement (or at least not yet)
I am into digital, so I could provide info about some alternate (additional) means for promotion and at no extra cost.
