I have not subscribed for the newsletter (I did not even knew about the newsletter), but I received their e-mail anyway. Nowadays my Steem account is not inactive, and I am also using Steemit (okay, not for blogging, but I am still using it), but they wrote in the e-mail that they miss me. I wonder whether everyone is received the same "we miss you at steemit.com" message or not.

At first I thought someone was spamming my email, but I was pleasantly surprised and delighted when I realized that the email was a genuine email from Steemit, Inc.,
Keep it up, bring news to us

Received the newsletter on our mail. It looks great!

cabelindsay (60) · 5 years ago

Fun! Yes, today's email is the first bit of "spam" I ever received from Steemit, and I'm very pleased to see it. Feels like a sign of a strong establishment. Glad to see the leadership team too. Plus, I'm happy to notice that the mailing address is Austin - my hometown! I'd love to come and visit your office for some face-to-face high-fives. 👋

heretickitten (64) · 5 years ago (edited)

I've had profitable stories too, but I'm not going to be naive here. Look at it statistically. https://steemit.com/tags Sort by payouts, and you'll see that most tags are irrelevant to writers who write about even general topics. And let's also take note of the fact that we both joined in 2016. Anyone who joins these days has an even greater challenge than we do.

Look at your audience. As of now it's mainly early adopters of STEEM and tech nerds involved with STEEM so it's only natural that's what gets the most attention. It will take a couple of years, smt's, a redistribution of STEEM power and more users to really mix up the trending page and the rewards. It will happen but for now it's supply and demand. The audience demands STEEM related content.

nonameslefttouse (74) · 5 years ago (edited)

Nobody said it was meant to be easy. I'd hope in three years those people starting today have gained traction. Many give up far too soon. If they're starting today and expecting to be in the same position as a three year veteran within a few weeks or months, they will be disappointed. This platform and Youtube are similar in many ways. Every channel starts with one producer and no subscribers. Some have worked for five years and have yet to see a dime over there.

I should add since advertisements are a thing now, I do hope more begin to see the true value in all types of content and treat it fairly, since that variety now helps pay the bills, potentially placing everyone in a better position financially. The community is only shooting itself in the foot if people act like a work of art, fiction, comedy, whatever, are of less value to the platform than something like an announcement of new developments. All forms of entertainment, from the humourous shit post to the most detailed essay about quantum physics are equally important now, since each contribution has the potential to keep the attention focused on the platform, and those ads.

It would be nice if you and a handful of others were not the only ones thinking that way. I've been trying to get a community of gamers going here for quite some time. Unfortunately, most of my regular participants have left the platform! I just checked on my oldest and most loyal players and none have made a post in 2 months or more. It is becoming like a ghost town here for those who enjoy playing games.

Have you heard about this: https://www.steemace.io

Nope. But it seems they are more interested in gaming reviews rather than playing board-game style games here on Steem. I would say they are interested in AAA games, not something you need to write comments to in order to play.

Thanks for the link though.

That's a gaming community. Doesn't matter what kinds of games. Look closer.

The current culture is pretty tough on some subjects, as we are new, you will be responsible to build a culture supportive of your ideas.
Poetry is not well received in the general population, here will be no different, I'd suspect.

My content has to be among the least mainstream, but I do ok getting comments.

No GDPR issues in the way they have done this.

$0.00

dickturpin (59) · 5 years ago

So I actually wrote the GDPR policy where I work. To do that I had to go through the directive. I'm unaware of a way of sending an unsolicited email, all be it one that I'm actually happy to receive, without first gaining consent? It's actually a misconception that "Inferred Consent" is acceptable. For example "Well, they've been on our mailing list for years!" This is not acceptable that's why we all got emails asking us if we were happy to remain on Social Media platforms, forums and mailing lists when the GDPR came into force.

Like I say. I'm happy to receive the newsletter and emails from Steemit et al 🙂

There is something about email discovery I think (not my area) but I would have to talk to legal at where I work to know for sure. The marketing department were looking into it a few weeks back.

But, I will defer to you on this as I can't personally attest to having looked deeply into the laws

So, would you be addressing what you will do about STEEM delisting from exchanges in these newsletters or will you dance around that subject?

xplosive (62) · 5 years ago (edited)

I received one newsletter e-mail from them so far, but that is pure marketing. Self advertising. They are writing about "all the cool things happening over the last year and more good things to come."
But that may be good to reach out to the inactive users, and if they return and be active in the long term, then the activity and the interest in Steem will increase, which may lead to relisting (or listing) Steem on exchanges. We will see.

I read your newsletter, but it seemed to be lacking something.

Instead of just spouting the party line, how about touting the many, many devs we have working to make you guys obsolete?
Yes, we have new management, yes we have new attitudes among some of the worst abusers, yes the economics are starting reward brains, and yes our work speaks for itself, again.

No, not more razzle dazzle by marketing dipwads, no 'look at our shiny visages', no droning on and on and on and on until we buy just to get you to shut up, no give me money because I am pretty, no fancy hotels in china, or anywhere else, the days of the top down tyranny is ending.

The old paradigm is leaving, if you don't ride the wave into the next, well, I won't miss you much, at this point.
Kudos for running the servers, but once smteee's™ arrive, ya'll's other ideas have never been well received by the other workers.

Your marketing language is showing.
Here this might help you be better received among those without the benefits of comfortable lifestyles.

Idea of a newsletter is great. I know how important a newsletter is for a large group of people. I write for my annual family reunion. Not everyone can attend each year, but they are assured to receive information about upcoming events and post-reunion happenings on who won the registration prizes, etc. I've received numerous calls about my newsletter telling me how wonderful it is that they are not being forgotten and that I make feel like they are important to family. I then take the opportunity to remind them to update their email or physical address if it changes so they can continue receiving their copy. I also ask them to spread the word about the newsletter by forwarding it via email or telling someone else to send in their contact info so they can receive one.

They already are, or did you ever consent to cookies here? At least I don't remember doing so.

As they are a US company only they don't really need to care though for now. Yes, the EU claims the law to be extra-territorial. There's no instance yet where the enforceability in the US has been tested though, and it's highly unlikely a small and hardly profitable enterprise like Steemit Inc. will be the first one they try with.

Email marketing does still work, although comments here suggest otherwise. I think this is a good move, once you are complaint.
