Well, this is a chance to give Marky a great big congratulations and show the power of a tribe all in one short post!
Marky got a pretty robust tribe package. He didn't get it all, but it's pretty close. That cost 5-10k ENG. I'm not exactly sure how much, but here's the good news. On the first day he sold $4000 worth of miners. 10k ENG was like $2500. This means that on his first day he did like 150% of the cost of his tribe. Literally everything else he does is already gravy. No debt, no ongoing costs, nada. Just all money in the bank from here...
Now, don't get me wrong. Not everyone can do this on day one. Marky is a top20 witness and a known entity. But he also doesn't even run a community.
That said others have done it. I'm pretty sure that neoxian was able to cover the costs of his tribe in under a week. Some people think I'm charging a lot, but honestly what you get and the returns make my costs literally dirt cheap. Just ask Neox and Marky!
People = the value
The people that can make a fortune with Tribes are the folks with existing communities or the ones most able to build them. People are the value. If you can gather people around a common interest and common token you're gonna do great!
Big ups!
Anyway, congrats to Marky and here's a virtual toast to your new tribe!
New Tribe logo
Oh yeah, that's a work in progress, but your tribe is your people who stick besides you like family in the hard times of things like an apocalypse or zombie invasion. Gettin' colorized soon, but I think it's bad ass af.
This is THE fundamental for a SCOT tribe. Don't waste your time on the obvious money grabs.
If there is a real community that you can identify with then stake the tokens and take the time to acquire a good reputation as a member of that community.

That's pretty epic, tribe costs are still pretty low with the price of steem I can only imagine ROI if we were in a bull run

That tribe logo is gnarly. Can’t wait to see it colorized.

This is amazing news.
What would be the costs of hosting a website on the blockchain for non-crypto enthusiasts?
I have a list of local businesses who need websites, they don't need tokens, they just need a basic site, with some articles, as a way to be found online.
I have been building very basic sites with wordpress or wix and would love to start building these very basic sites on the steem blockchain instead. I have a coffee shop and a transmission mechanic so far who need help.

I mean, all the stuff I do has to be powered by tokens. The minimum for a site is 3100 ENG, which is ~$800, but it's powered by it's own token and if they have a community they could encourage people to talk about their shop and accept these tokens as partial or complete payment.

Thank you for your response.
$800 is too much for what I’m describing, but I see the value you get in the stated price.
Hopefully soon we will have a way to power basic websites on the blockchain.

Dear @aggroed
I absolutely agree with you that people=value. I've quite a large number of very active followers and I spend hours daily engaging with them. And I would really like to get in touch with us, simply because I strongly believe we could help each other.
And mostly because I really value your work and I would love to help to spread word around about your projects.
Do you perhaps use telegram or email? Or is there any other way to DM you?
ps. I wonder if you will even reply to this comment. I think it's 3rd time this year Im trying to reach out to you :(
Yours
Piotr
