Introduction and Crypto Experience

I write to apply for the position of Steemit Crypto Academy Promoter as adviced in a post by the Steemit team. My name is Charles Okeke, one of the Nigeria Country representatives and founder of SteemAlive community. I am delighted to apply for this position because I feel qualified to do so.

I joined the crypto world after the boom of Bitcoin in 2017. Ever since then, I have been active in the crypto space. I started off as a HOTDLer of various coins and when I joined Steemit in 2018, I started writing blockchain project review for original Works. I also expanded my knowledge and skill as I continue to venture into other parts of cryptocurrencies such as day trading and some lending projects. I have used many crypto exchange platforms and have a good knowledge of how to use industry-standard features found across many platforms. Hence, I wont be a stranger to some terminology and functionalities that may seem difficult to an untrained eye. Overall, I feel that my backgound and experiences puts me in a better position to promote the academy.

Steem and CryptoAcademy Experience

I signed up on february 2018 and have been mostly active since then. I understand the Steem blockchain and has enough knowledge to address every question a new user would want to ask. I have done extensive recruitment and mentorship work due to my deep knowledge of how Steemit works. The various tools and features developed for the Steem blockchain are second nature to me. I have been actively mentoring others about Steemit and I do so very well.

Regarding the crypto Academy, I would say I participate to the best of my time. Whenever I do, I would always do the advanced courses which I think is the category my experience places me in. I am yet to get a rating of 6.5 or lower in any of the homeworks I attempted. I really understand the value of the academy as it helps to expand one's knowledge of the crypto space. In the coming season, am sure to increase my participation in the homeworks as well as promotion of the academy if am considered.

Why Choose me?

1. I am probably the oldest, most active Nigerian on Steemit. My knowledge and experience of Steem puts me at an advantage to do the work of Steemit crypto Promoter.

2. I have been actively promoting Steem since I joined. My promotion effort has brought in many other active Nigerians that bring a lot of value to Steemit. SteemAlive community is probably the most active and largest collection of Nigerians on Steemit.

3. I am already actively promoting the Cryptoacademy in my community SteemALive. I am the brain behind CryptoAcademy Open happiness, a project that rewards my community members that got a rating of 4 - 6 in their academy homeworks.

4. I also Promote the academy now through the Crypto Academy Workshops I organize. The workshorps are special mentorship classes that usually happen every Monday in SteemAlive Telegram class.

5. I Use facebook as my second social media after Steemit. I majorly run sponsored ads on my facebook business page which is one way i also recruit new users for Steemit. With my experience in generating traffic through ads on facebook, its easy to get the attention I need with up to 20 million Nigerian accounts on that platform

Because of the above reasons and more, I feel qualified to be selected for this job.

My Promotion target audience and strategies

Nigerians remain some of the largest users and traders of cryptocurrencies. So the country has huge potential for the academy.

1. Steem Road Show: I recently kicked off Steem Road Show, supposedly the largest every effort to promote Steemit in Nigeria. The first day already saw many new signups and some introduction posts. I targeted an academic institution in my city - Abia State Polytechnic. I will run more shows in the school and try to target students in the Computer Science department. Am sure lots of them are in the crypto space already and would love to join the acadeemy.

2. Local Community Leaders: I have two coursemates that are Google Certified Mobile developers. They have a very large following of Mobile app developers. I will get in contact with them in the coming days to tap into the community they control.

3. My Computer Programming Lecturer: I will also in the coming week speak to one of my lecturers in Abia State Polytechnic so that I will have access to talk to Students in the department.

4. Facebook Sponsored ads: I will try to run ads on facebook.

Through these avenues, I hope to initially start the work as a promoter.

Conclusion

I hope to get selected in the above position applied for. I will do my best to promote both Steemit and the academy if given the opportunity to do so. Thank you everyone.
