How did you hear about SteemIt?

in steem •  7 years ago 

I'm curious how we all "heard" about SteemIt.  This post is about engagement, but also understanding what is effective in Marketing.

1. How did you hear about SteemIt?
    
    A.  From a friend or family member

     B.   From an end-user

     C.   From Youtube, Facebook or other social media platform

     D.   From an advertisement.

      E.  Other - Explain in the comments.


If you use the letter and then elaborate that will help when I compile the results.  If you are interested also, consider giving it a resteem.  I would love to hear as much about your experience as you are willing to share.

Where did you hear about it, how do you like it, what was it that caught your attention..

C - I'd been subscribed to Adam Meister's Bitcoin-centric YouTube channel for about a year (he's @bitcoinmeister here). He mentioned Steemit several times and I finally took the hint.

Where did you hear about it, how do you like it, what was it that caught your attention..

Couple YouTubers kept mentioning it! @crypt0 was the MAIN ONE!

I love it!

A social media platform that is decentralized and mostly anonymous.

E. Other.

Back in April I was getting into crypto and researching different alt-coins, i was searching for ones attached to something more substantial than just a coin and came across STEEM, leading me to Steemit. I watched the site for a little over a month, learning how it worked, finding people who were building communities, etc. Then I joined and engaged in conversations with those members and found my place here.

E-

Saw it listed on Poloniex and started to research.

I heard about steemit as I was studying coins to invest in. I searched in google and eventually got to steemit.

E - I was searching for ways to make money..... preferably with cryptocurrency and came across steemit. Of course that was in October of 2016 and I couldn't really make it work for me then..... but in March I figured it out and now it's going quite well.

c - I had been watching youtube videos for years but never realized that people make money on youtube. Just as I began to take the creators seriously and began to think about creating, youtube started censoring and demonetizing my favorite channels. One night I watched two videos about steemit, Math Easy Solutions @mes and the SGT Report @stgreport and immediately signed up. I am learning so much here and the community is great.

I am glad to hear it is going well.

Thank you

I think Jack Conte (if he is not here already!) would be delighted to hear about Steemit. After watching his TED talk, the two sites are so complimentary to each other.

Hi @leighlim, just watched the video. Thanks for sharing this. Very inspirational! I did a search and did not see an account for him.

B - In a round-about way. A friend of mine began sending me stuff from The Dollar Vigilante regarding fiat money versus precious metals. In one of The Dollar Vigilante's videos, he mentioned a new social media site that pays you for your work. I was curious and came to see what this was all about and now I'm hooked. Totally addicted and ruining my eyes from too much computer time. Seriously... I just had an eye exam and the back of my eyes are starting to go lumpy!

Don't forget to stretch and walk around every 20 minutes. :) (I know it's a big ask...do it for us! Your readers! We want you to keep creating content!)

Btw...what does 'eyes going lumpy' mean? (is it sign of eye strain?)

Thanks for your concern and advice. I need to get an alarm and set it as a reminder.
The back surface of the eye where the image is processed needs to be smooth in order to get a clear and sharp image of what you see. When the eye is asked to do more than it can, it prioritizes and instead of allowing oxygen and other nutrients in and letting the waste products out, it only allows the good in but neglects to take out the trash. That waste material accumulates like lumps of dirt under the carpet. Apparently that's what is happening in my eyes. Macular degeneration.

A - My friend tried to introduce me to Steemit last October but I was just too busy with other things to have a proper look. He then mentioned it again in March and this time I became very interested, especially when he told me how much his account was worth. I was very interested and so he guided me through setting up my account and then I started posting. And then I posted some more and then....well I suppose you could say that I can't stop posting now!

Proof that repetition works! :) (Just remember to space it within a few months....hehehe)

E. I found it through a google search when I started researching crypto coins. Articles that I found kept coming from this steemit place. I decided I needed to check it out and see what the fuss was.

The rest, as they say, is history!

E - Bitcointalk

I honestly forget... Is that an option? I've been so hooked that the first few weeks are a blur 😄😂

I'll use E for this. :) lol.

Hi, I've learned about Steemit when I was trading crypto I was owning some Steem and I make a few research on it and I come over Steemit and since then I really enjoy it and I'm on it daily and also take care the Thai community. I really believe in the big potential of the platform and I sees it every day. Thank you.

C - YouTube - specifically @mericanhomestead

C. I heard about it from Suppoman on Youtube. He raved about Steemit so much (and still does), I had to check it out. Best decision ever.

Sorry yes, C. Fixed it ;) And resteemed.

Thank you.

I think it was youtube. I started looking into cryptos and one thing lead to another. Yep, I went down the rabbit hole! I am totally addicted!

C

Whoops! Was I just suppised to say C?

No, you did just fine. I am just marking for myself how I classified it. :)

Ok, thanks

I was curious about cryptocurrency so I started researching trends. When Bitcoin and most of the others were falling, Steem was climbing. I was curious why, so I looked up how to "mine" Steem.

Well I didn't become a witness, and I didn't get in on the premine, but I stumbled into Steemit and learned to start mining with my mind.

E

Steem was climbing!? Wow. I better have a read on those trends too! :)

C
Youtube was my friend at the beginning of my crytpo journey. I saw a few videos from @jerrybanfield and @thedollarvigilante

Ultimately I enjoyed the idea of a blockchain social media. I hate most social media and wbat kept me here was the great community.

A from a friend!

C. Eric July on Facebook. He had an account I saw the part that said authors get paid by votes from people like you. So I signed up to give him a up vote when ever he posted something. Got hooked.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I left Facebook in disgust one day and began to search for a new social media platform. I came across Steemit in late July of 2016 but it would not accept my phone number in the sign-up process. Steemit was forgotten for a time as I continued to explore the internet for new meaning and purpose.

I rediscovered crypto-currency in this time, and began to buy and dabble in trading. As I examined the possible investments, I noted Steem on the exchange and I made the connection between the Steemit and Steem.

In November, 2016 I successfully created an account and I have been involved ever since.

From a user on his YouTube channel

I learned from the conversation with friends @whatsup, with whom we often discuss the topic of crypto currency, and in SteemIt we found great opportunities for self-expression and prospects for the future!

I'd been on the Tsu site that had just died and wasn't sure I wanted to get into another paying site. Glad I did

E. (although one could say, C. indirectly)

I was watching Amanda B. Johnson, on her previous YouTube channel, The Daily Decrypt. She featured BitShares Prediction Markets, and I got interested in that platform. I got registered at bitshares talk, and dug really deep into BitShares.

At that time, BitShares was in the middle of a big fiasco over worker proposals. And there were murmurs of Dan starting a new project. I felt like he was abandoning BitShares, so I ignored the new project.

Turns out, that new project was Steem.

Then ABJ went Full Dash. And while I was on the Dash Slack, some people were spamming steemit links (some of the actually good stuff was from @thedashguy). I was at the point where I was sick of this stupid Steem project, so I decided to investigate it.

Turns out, it's a pretty cool project.

Nice, that is probably what will happen with me and EOS. :)

A friends
But on multiple fronts-several times, then being led by the hand through the process. So glad they pushed me to it!

C - although I was very lucky that I saw it. I saw it in a reddit comment that then got deleted hours later. So if I hadn't seen it in that tiny window, I wouldn't be here!

C - I believe from @jerrybanfield, but I'm not 100% sure. I started to get into crypto, then BOOM. Steemit appeared.

A. A couple friends had introduced me to steemit last year. I was active for about 2 weeks then didn't engage for over 9 months. Top ten biggest mistakes of my life for sure.

Heard about it from the buzz that was going around during twexit.

C

:D

From a friend..answer A.
Heard that he has an Steemit account and he also heard from a friend. I had the account since jun2016. Was disappointed with the results and was very busy just started work in a new place. Left it until this year then started writing. Was thinking of giving up when I realized that people do not read or when I comment they do not reply. When I looked at other bigger boys, some do not even write but just put a photo and they have so many upvotes.
Still trying to blog as often as possible and be positive. Will definitely carry on.
Thanks
@jackpot

A my best RL buddie told me about it @brothermic

E
I was hunting for a torrent site and some comment referred to Steemit being the next great thing ... I got curious

I heard it through Jeff Berwick - Dollar Vigilante on AUG 2016. I made an account but never came back or did anything with it and forgot all about it until the end of May 2107 when @jerrybanfield talked about it on Youtube.

That's when I had to make a new account and decided to do steemit :)

A - nephew filled me in. Very glad he did!

A - from a family member

From my elder brother. he use steemit from 2016. when he said me first time then I don't trust this site but when I read more about this site then I trust it and now I'm proud to be a steemit user.

A. From a friend or family member

A. From my brother who's on Steemit too.

C
One night I watched a videos on Youtube about @jerrybanfield and one thing led to another

My friend @indiantraveller told me all about steemit, at that time i was going through my exams. As soon as my exams are over i went to my friend to know more about it and from that day i started using it. I m not gaining much money but i m learning a lot of new stuff daily. Its a great community. Thanks

B: American Homestead through one of his YT videos before he got shut down.

I am from the Voice website (https://golos.io), this is a double of Steem. Decided that the original is better than a double :)

I was joined to a whatsapp group and there people used to chat and discuss about it, so I thought I will give it a try and now I am in love with it.

@whatsup - A. my husband told me & now I am a full time steemian ma'm.

"C", I hard it from a Facebook group, We have a Facebook group for BTC related topics, mainly buying bitcoin and discussing Bitcoin and alt coin related news and issues. A friend in that group introduces me to this wonderful platform.
Cheers!

E. Other - I came across a blog post from a VC (Pawel Chudzinski). Took note and....I guess I got curious quicker than I let it languish in my 'to-do' list. Now I realise it's a good excuse to learn about mining digital currency in a way that I could easily digest (creating content).

C. @lukewearechange, one of his videos he mentioned it at the end, got my curiosity right away...

c!

B. @pressfortruth talked about Steem on his Youtube.

My story is not so interesting. I was just reading some posts on CoinPole, and found someone talking about Steemit. It caught my curiosity, and as always I do, I started looking on google for reviews and people talking about it. I found it interesting and joined. And this comment is my first action here! Welcome to me! :D

I heard about Steemit from Gregory Mannarino or Marketreport. He made it easy and safe to sign on to this platform. At the same time I also heard about it from Jeff Berwick of Dollar Vigilante. However it was Greg who inspired me to become a Steemian in May. Greg Mannarino is a smart man and I would recommend his blog to anyone.

I would say it's an A ;)

Hello,

Option E, other. I just randomly found Steemit.

The date is 2017 May 17. I searched for a VGA related topic on the Google and I clicked on an article.
I didn't even realised what site I am on at first. I read the article. I saw the $ sign under the post.
On the same day, I started to read about Steemit and also on the same day, I registered on Steemit.
So I arrived here (found Steemit) by accident.
I am not going to lie. I registered for the money earning opportunity. Probably just like the most of us.
This could help me a lot, because I am unable to make friends and I am unable to work in real life due to my disabilities.
I am 25 years old. I was born on 1992 September 17, so yesterday was my birthday. I am from Hungary.
I am receiving a pension-like income, which is very low (approximately $231,75 USD) (60 000 HUF) ($1 USD = 258.90 HUF), so every cents and dollars could help me.

I am currently writing original content mostly about amateur radio, if you are interested in it.

Thank you for reading!

Enjoy Steemit!
Have a nice day and have a nice week!

b- I heard about steem from James Corbett of thecorbettreport, it took me a couple of days to actually come and sign up.

Although the site hasn't been at all what I expected, I have been here ever since. I am enjoying learning more about Crypto and some ideas as well. Money is a factor for me, but so is the Bitcoin/Crypto culture and the idea of bringing money to everyone everywhere regardless of location, government, political views, wealth, etc.
