We've seen recent explosions in Steem and the SBD. The platform is taking off but there are still many who haven't heard of Steemit. What can we do to increase the rate of adoption of this wonderful platform?
Well those such as @stephenkendal make a profession out of promoting steemit. Far from me making an appearance on RT and the like, there must be something at the grass roots level that can be done to promote the platform.
The thought occurred to me today that one excellent public forum that's still in use, here in Australia at least, is the public notice board. Classically the go-to instrument for those advertising a room for rent or promoting the sale of their rusted bicycle, the old fashioned noticed board at the local shopping center is still, surprisingly, a current method for communication amidst the local community.
So here's my flyer that will be printed and stuck on the notice boards of the local shops and outlets...
Every little effort helps. Have you thought about promoting Steemit locally?
I think meetups with local steemians where they can bring their friends would be much more effective. Just focusing on the money earning will draw in a lot of scammers and little substance. It also sounds too good to be true. Events will be fun and let people know it’s a real thing and not a scam. It will also build community. You can also post pictures and videos and show the event on steemit for big Upvotes
It’s great that you are making an effort though.

Some good points there, especially surrounding the idea that not everyone is financially motivated. Targeting those who are first may be the low hanging fruit. Ultimately what you suggest will be required but for now, some other printouts targeting community may garner more exposure. Thanks for the suggestion!

This is a great job you're doing promoting steemit outside the digital world. Now people who are not really computer oriented would know there's a way to make money curating quality content and this would make them want to dive into the digital world. I just can't wait to see the great content we would have from new comers on steemit in 2018. Thanks for promoting steemit @nolnocluap

I think local promotion will really help to grow steemit.
I've set to it recently here in Wales. We only have 15 active steemians so I've set myself the goal of doubling that in 3 months - going for 100% growth!

Local promotion is really where it all started for me. I ran one of the first local online community networks in Britain many years ago. Reached 300K users at its peak before Facebook etc came along and I moved on to other projects. Steemit I feel has the potential for a bit of a homecoming for me.

Our Bitcoin meetups in Buffalo, NY have basically turned into Steemit meetups. I think it's starting to go viral. And once people understand the economics behind high SBD payouts it's really going to take off.

That's an interesting development, the coercion of bitcoin enthusiasm into steemit support. A natural progression when you think about it. How neat!

I tell everyone about it and have got many to join the platform. I like your flyer. Very cute. Might borrow and share at our local shopping centre is you don't mind. Its a lower social economic area so many could benefit from some extra cash.

Nice mate. But no shameless self promotion at all? I think you deserve to at least put something about yourself on the flyer. Thoughts around the pros and cons of identifying yourself?

No shameless promotion that's right mate. Yeah identity has been something I've often thought about. Posted about it a few months back too. I'm tempted to stay anonymous on the posters at least for now, but providing some form of contact may make it feel more real and less "get rich quick".
