No One Has Done Better Than You, At Promoting Steemit! Check Out Hooray Brigade & Idea Factory.steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit7 years ago
When it comes to steemit growth, everyone plays a role. No one does more than the other because you can't measure what each one does!

If you want to understand the above fully this or read this:

The mere fact that you are on steemit today is evidence that everyone who forms part of the steemit ecosystem, played his or her role in promoting steemit growth. 
Every tiny action of yours whether curating, creating content, engaging in the comments, offering a service with @steemgigs, DMs & steemit chat rooms, building an app etc plays its role in promoting steemit on the outside; so keep at it!
Even if your only current goal is to grow & develop in your steemit journey, that is steemit-growth in the making. 
Never think, you aren't promoting steemit and you have to imitate others who are making posts about steemit meetups & sign-ups. 
Steemit meetups are only one way of promoting steemit and there tons of ways!
First, your constantly created content rank in the search engines and may have brought someone onto steemit. 
I eventually joined steemit by means of the search engines even though, i knew of steemit before that eventual blog that drew me in to sign up. On that particular day, joining steemit was targeted and organic, so the prior awareness i had about "steemit" did help but an organic post  from the search engines stamped it for me as that steemit post answered exactly what i was looking for, plus, it was timely and above all, i connected with the content author.
So if you decide to develop in your own steemit journey first by creating researched content etc, no qualms; as down the road, you will become more effective when you decide to actually speak to people about steemit. 
I went through the same road and it is very valid to say; "as you improve in your learning about steemit and beyond" etc, it improves you own conviction about the steem platform and expands your vision on the true & full extent of the potential of steem technology and this conviction rubs off on others, when you eventually talk about steemit to them. This is the simple truth!
So use this post to draw some inspiration and never feel you aren't doing much; for you are! Bottomline is, promoting steemit takes different forms, so no need to measure what others do because the simple truth is, there is no tool to measure these things! 

Bone of Contention

If you are a newer steemian and you are really getting passionate about talking to others about joining steemit, like family and friends etc; steemit is becoming more of a home now, with many amenities to make your job easier and one such amenity is Idea Factory. It has lost activity lately but it is still very functional and one reason is: 

i am there and i am your fan!

Hahaha, i may tell you to develop your own journey first; but again different strokes for different levels of gifts. Overall, i can help with maximizing your efforts, by helping you, when it comes to brainstorming ideas. 

I really care about YOU, so my methods with developing ideas will be very much in line with who you are and if you aren't ready just yet, we will help you get ready!

I do believe in pacing; so i may not be as hasty as you but we will get somewhere special all the same. 

"Hasty" is not a bad thing! "Hasty" may simply need direction!

Note: You can also join in on this discord channel to help, by means of conversation & engagement as the number on the server grows (with more 600 steemians currently). Idea Factory is also a branch of the @steemgigs community and i am looking to revive engagement and activity on the server, so please comment below, if you would want to be Admin on there and help with engagement and direction.

For instance (Idea Factory)

Recently i saw a newer steemian from the Philippines @jaderpogi, post about his escapades with beat-boxing around the Philippines. In that post, he had a special beat-box video, joyfully giving shout-outs to steemit etc So, i left him a simple comment admonishing him to bring in his beat-boxing community on steemit and the process was simple! 

I simply told him, that we could do a small contest involving these non-steemians. The concept will involve having them do a simple beat-box steemit shoutout video, upload it to YouTube, then come upload it to steemit in an intro-post, to get a small contest prize. 

Then to help matters, i had him add me to a quick Facebook group chat, where we had quick talks with the group and based on the last updates, some have signed up. 

I did something with @brindocorp, without being physically present at their yearly software hackathon. I simply appeared in a video conference; taught the CEO of @brindocorp about steemit; have them add "steemit" to their event as one of the sponsors; had @steem-lagos grace the event with more steemit presence and arranged for these participating tech-startups, consisting of 5 software developers each, to join steemit, to talk about the Hackathon and get additional prizes.

Now more than a month later, i still found a recent sign-up from one of the participants at the event. You can visit him here!

What am i saying?

Join Idea Factory, if you need help with brainstorming ideas when it comes to building visions, dreams, adjust the world, steemit growth, personal development, steemit post ideas and ideas for effectively promoting steemit to others.


Another branch of the @steemgigs community that i am looking to revive is: 

Hooray Brigade. 

Well, this is a venture designed to speed newer steemians especially, to "steemit knowledge and knowledge in general", by using a core aspect of the steemit ecosystem: the comments!

It is simple! Create a stir of greatness by yourself; with your fingers only, by leaving a positive or hooray-type comment, all over steemit!

So you can look out for unanswered questions in the comments, while reading posts and help these ones find answers to their questions. 

These unanswered questions can be questions about life or about something or about steemit and finding answers to these questions, will not only fix someone but will help you "mine with your mind" better, speeding up your "steemit knowledge", personal development and personal growth. 

You will also have helped keep steemit a home!

Plus, i look forward to supporting such comments with a measure of upvote, so joining Hooray Brigade, will allow you to submit the URL to these types of comments, so that i can visit them.

If you are a newer steemian, one solid way of learning about steemit is by engaging in the comments, looking to answer possible steemit FAQs. Now, you may not know the answers but you can find the answers out and teach it, by returning an answer in the comments.

Note: Hooray Brigade is also has "UNTALENTED" as its theme & #untalented is an entire curriculum: 

  • Exercise freedom
  • relegate reservations
  • flaws allowed
  • we are genius
  • everyone is a winner
  • no losers
  • uncondemning
  • sense in nonsense
  • sift the bad to look for good in it
  • dirt is good to Mr/Mrs Soap
  • abolishing smart, ugly, bum
  • etc
So you will be joining Hooray Brigade, the "UnTalented" theme applies!

I shall pause....


Here are some more fun ideas, that you can emulate. I call it fun, because you can apply it, without much effort! Here:

Steps

Been in the steemgig channel for a bit now but haven't really spent a lot of time there. Thanks for the enlightenment around what the 2 channels are about. I love Hooray Brigade, I like commenting as you proly noticed. I may not be commenting as much as others, but really try to add value to the content, or engage the author with genuine interest.

Please let me know where I can help. I will start spending time in Hooray Brigade.

Your business card will help a lot. Will print some and use them in the next event we are participating in. You really think of everything.

You said it right, it sometimes become tempting to copy others' work in promoting Steemit because of how successful they look like. Nothing wrong with really wanting to help grow the community, but not to the extent of losing who you really are; your individuality.

As simple as that to the latter part.

Can't agree with this more. This reminds me of Steve Jobbs' famous quote, " Your time is limited, don't spend it living someone else's life. " @surpassinggoogle is an inspiration.

You are on point. Nothing wrong from experimenting once in a while, but one really need not stray far from what he/she is passionate about.

@surpassinggoogle thanks for sharing this wonderful post....

I pledge to grow Steemit community however i can.
💯💯💯💙💙💞

@surpassinggoogle , I am not sure , I am qualified.
Firstly, I am not in the Philippines nor Nigerians community.
Still learning a lot about Steemit and others community in here.
Finding very hard to find a topic to write.
Thanks for your great post.

I don't think you need to be in either country to qualify to showcase steemit.
Wherever you are, you are doing your own part of promoting steemit.
Keep doing what you are doing and socialize in discord, it will get more clearly.
Keep it up
#seeuatthetop

Just be you....be real and do what you know best.... steemit is fun, allow it flow in you an you'll discover your hidden talents

I'll keep the dream alive... Thanks

Hi @surpassinggoogle wow very interesting post to say so since you have really made me believe that everyone on Steemit has something to offer in return including me,whether while curating,commenting or making post this means every steemian is playing a key role in promoting steemit and indeed nobody has to copy or imitate the other because we can't measure how much effort we as individuals are contributing to Steemit as a blockchain network,so that means we should continue with our effort inorder to built Steemit and continue growing to greater heights on this platform,lastly thank you so much @surpassinggoogle for your message and post also for your initiative project Hooray Brigade where newer steemians can grow and become whales surely i will be part of it and for your Steemit gift card,keep on posting such good encouraging and innovative post on Steemit blessings.

Lovely as always, the Idea Factory would really help me a lot, thank you Terry

He never disappoints 😃

He is so full of suprises , He should be called suprisingoogle, lol

You can say that again. It would help all of us. This is hope for those of us with beautiful ideas yet no foundation to kick off with.

If i am not in the main channel, when you are there, you can find my username and talk

I am so very happy that my name is on your post @surpassinggoogle . I will really try my best and give effort to my fellow beatboxer here in our University to join in steemit coz in here we can earn from our very own talent. So much love to have you @surpassinggoogle such a generous person to help us grow in steemit.Much love to this community.

Congrats man,
Youve been spotted,
This is your good start of and a shiney steemy future!
Keep it up! My support to you!

No pressure. A few solid ones are better than many. More effective. So don't be deterred. Not everyone signs up the first time, but the awareness still has impact

Thank you for the advice @surpassinggoogle . It is very true that strong ones is better than many thats why for now I will start with few people. Few people time after time. :)
Thanks for encouraging me again @surpassinggoogle .

You deserve it bro

Many times i thought that from where you?,, take ideas and post i cant understand even now

I simply try to care

Like it. Voted up

you are right sir @surpassinggoogle, we might have different reason why wer are here. I am a newbie, even though i already 5 months old but i keep on searching for what is the best idea that i can share in the community. I am planning to have a campaign promoting steemit in our place and universities, i am preparing for the things needed. I already talked to teachers who are also interested of joining steemit.

I am excited with it..

All I do nowadays is ponder on what to do next to also support other newbies as myself here. Nearly everyone i meet here have shown me support and love in different ways. You are planning a good thing sir. Keep steeming and I pray God gives you strength and guide you through your project.

Nice Move

Growing Steemit everywhere is a very

Great approach. When you are ready, we can always talk. Depends on the type of community. For instance, @steemiteducation has something for education, supported by @curie etc. so it largely depends on many factors. Overall, though simple content creation works too, if you share them well with your channels. You can also share content of others

I talked 3 teachers already and they are very positive with my insights. This campaign will be helpful enough for the student especially those who are taking Major in english.

Yep. Where is your location again? When you are ready, we can work with @giantbear

I will be posting an updates regarding my first step via blog post, im compiling some information to be discussed with my prospects. I will be having my meeting on them later afternoon. Most of them are student leader and they are interested to be part of steemit community, they heard about steemit but need mentor to start. Looking for the positive result.

im in Philippines negros Occidental, away from manila. Basically i am living in an area away from city but we have universities nearby.

Okay. All good. Keep creating awareness. I will come in handy later

Thank you..ooking forward sir.

That a best thing to do . 😀

That's a great idea for making the steemit community better. Thanks for sharing this great information.
