The Steem Growth Forum took place today and was a smashing success. We had roughly a 2.5hr conference with 90+ people live in the audience and over 20 on air! We had minnows, whales, witnesses, business owners, and a ton of good ideas. I think many folks felt good to be in a community and possibly a little less isolated by being a part of Discord. So, hopefully the folks that came on the show aren't strangers to the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty Network in Discord. Hopefully y'all come back again!
Here's a list of who came on air.

I loved hosting this. I'll work on some other forums for the community on our streaming internet station mspwaves.com. Thanks for attending, thanks for speaking, and thanks for helping the Steem ecosystem to grow!
inviteafriend
Just want to add one of my favorite little bits of this that came out today was a simple to implement idea. inviteafriend as a tag so that as you bring folks onto the platform and get paid for it. This is a no brainer. Hopefully whales will support the folks that dot he missionary work to invite our friends and family from the terrestial world to our Steem family. Here's some leadership on how to do it, hopefully the whales and the many collective accounts follow up with some incentive.
Thanks for riding the waves with mspwaves radio. If you liked the Forum please consider delegating to @msp-waves and upvoting my witness!
If someone could make a breakdown of where each people start speaking like

I'd give it an upvote.

That was a lot of fun. Thanks so much for putting this together, hosting it, and organizing everything together so smoothly. I hope things like this continue to be a great way for this community to express and discover itself. I turned my brief thoughts on expectations into a post and would love to keep this conversation going for how we can grow the STEEM ecosystem together.

You know you asked some important questions right at the end that I really could have answered better and those questions were:
How else can we help?
How do we get new musicians onto the platform and make it more attractive for them?
I made a post answering those questions here
Thanks again.

Thanks so much for posting this for those of us who care so much about the SteemIt community, but were unable to make it or hear it in real time.
I will certainly be giving this a listen a little bit later on.
I also think that the "inviteafriend" tag is a fantastic idea, and I am hoping as well that the people who succeed in inviting others to the platform will be rewarded accordingly.
I think this post is definitely worth a resteem as well. Great job!

How to explain Steemit to a layperson, from my wife: "It's like Facebook, but it pays you." That's what we figured out together. Nothing more, nothing less. If they have more specific technical questions, elaborate from there. If you start out trying to explain it from a frame of reference that they're unfamiliar with, like the technical or crypto stuff, it's a lost cause. People just glaze over. I know Facebook is a four letter word around here, but it's the one social network that almost everyone is familiar with. Don't even use the word social network. Seriously, for non-technical people, it conjures up images that have nothing to do with online social networks, which induces anxiety. Saying "Facebook" conjures an image that tells the person, "I'm familiar with that. Okay, go on."

That's exactly what I say to new people. Nothing less or more, unless they ask another question.

If steem forum focusses on growing steemit.com then first of all the startegy should based on a fragmented model where area specific teams cater specific area and spread word about basic understanding of it. I am from India and i discovered it accidently. The lack of a proper app is biggest hurdle to keep up with it. I searched google play store and found random app not sure which one is genuine.
Secondly at the heart of it lies curation and content and alot of stress should be given to it. Many minnow write awesome original content but it get burried under the weight of daily flood of blogs. The forum should have teams which hunt this content and promote it irrespective of reputation score and upvotes. Most of the time content does not get attention as it is been burried.
The desperation to seek attention will ultimately take a toll on creative intellect.
Steemit is based on curation which is rewarded, so plagarism check is necessary. a natural software should be there which does that check before posting. Steemit should build into a community with awesome content based on crypto.
It needs alot of marketing in India and the forum should focus on that. I hope my feedback helps us all.

The problem with saying that is that it doesn't actually necessarily pay you anything. That depends on if someone with enough Steem Power sees your contribution and values it.

I have been bring people to the platform. I am doing #promo-southafrica. Now I will be adding #inviteafriend to it.

Couldn't attend the the live broadcast unfortunately, so I'm very thankful for this post with the "recording". Thank you very much for this!
So far I could only listen to the first part and will have to come back for the rest tomorrow. It has been really uplifting to listen to all the speakers and their great ideas and visions as well as seeing the feed/chat (?). One of my favorite lines is from @ellievallie "..the reward will literally be the content.."
After seeing a lot of posts and comments in these past few month I've been here, complaining about things, I'm happy about all the positive and solution oriented input. This was very uplifting and motivating!
Sure, the shortcomings of the platform were addressed, but its good to see (hear) that those with the means to make changes are well aware and working on solving the problems.
For me personally the biggest problem is, that I find so much good content, that I can't possibly read (?) as much as I would like, let alone reward it with my tiny upvote...

This makes me feel a lot better about what's going on with the platform when I hear people inside Steemit Inc. like @andarchy talking plainly about what's going on. As he said, they're a bunch of engineers mostly, so they don't necessarily deal with the human side of things as well, but this humanizes the company and their plans for the future quite well.

My ears perked up when you were discussing reputation with @ausbitbank. I've been pining away for a system like this that can circumvent gatekeepers. I think people have tried to set up businesses like this in the past, in which individuals are rated on their trustworthiness, but the developers face extreme levels of backlash and even legal issues. If this were to be decentralized via the blockchain, unlike the current system on Steemit, any legal issues would be circumvented, and there would be no gatekeeper to attack socially. I'm not a technical guy, but I'm assuming implementing it so that it is stored in the blocks it would require another hard fork, right?

A referral program would be HUGE for the site...Honestly, people like me hwo are influencers are really attracted to being rewarding for going out on a limb and talking about sites that aren't well known! I love the idea of a tag - if someone would code a bot that can send a certain amount of steem/upvotes per person referred that would be awesome too! Perhaps funded by some whales :)
