RE: How the trending page looks to a newb... And how the trending page could look!
I thought I just answered what's in it for them. Also, 'buzzword' is a touch patronising...blockchains and what they can do are important and can be explained although it is a challenge to frame it in the right way. Did everyone know what a google was?
Its a headline. If they have to look at what it mean on google, its a fail.
You're probably right...but I suspect that people had to be told what google was initially, 'a search engine,' and come to understand what it could do for them and how to use it. Either way, what Google was became self-evident quite quickly, whereas Steemit and steem are a hell of a lot more complex. I guess the learning process needs to be optimized and involves levels or steps.
Perhaps we should build a newbie learning graphic that censorship resistant blogging that pays you (or whatever) and try to build out the natural progression from there. That should then feature somewhere on steemit.
Welcome to blogging that pays? It's frustrating because that barely scratches the surface :)!
I've been trying to answer that question myself. The benefits a blogger gets from steemit is not that different from Hubpages.
Here is my best attempt:
Headline -> Welcome to Steemit
Sub-head -> Discover an open community of passionate content creators. Set up a blog in minutes, make friends and earn rewards based on community appreciation.
Sorry for my short snappy replies, I was on my phone and the website is terribly slow...taking forever to write anything.
Short but not snappy :)) I like your header and sub-header. My stab at a sub-header would be...
A place where one can publish anything, connect with anyone and enjoy the incredible content of a rapidly growing, diverse and global community. You're engagement will earn you money and reputation...have fun!
Something like that.....it's very similar to your effort and i'm still not entirely happy with mine either....it's dam tricky!!
it is tricky! I like what you've came up with. Anything but welcome to the blockchain is a major improvement in my opinion.
Hahaha! Agreed :) I'll keep thinking....I'm sure you will too!
Perhaps we should ask all those new to steemit and new to crypto what they would like to see. It might make for an interesting perspective.
