In celebration of steemfest 4 — I opened up my udemy content creator course for free! :)

. .. 736 enrollments this month and the downloads keep coming! :)

Ok, ok, don’t get overly excited, it’s only been like five days to the month and those are rookie numbers in some regards AND my new courses have yet to get traction BUT my stats look good! :) — yep, you can ride the wave of the masses of trawling scrapers that wait for courses to go from paid to free as they pull down and download your content.

I’m fine with that, I don’t need to earn from the content creators course as it’s two years old anyway, a lot of the stuff is still hella relevant and none of it talks about draining the rewards pool, actually quite the opposite, it was designed more for a content creator wanting to use steem anyway.

But hey, you can’t argue with those downloads.

I kinda see it like the old skull ratio 2:1 on old BBS systems or maybe just sticking up a random torrent and letting people ‘go at it’ — my thinking is at least it’s out there in the world right? Sure it’s headless, rudderless, leaderless but it does have impact, it does cause growth, maybe some retention and onboarding in the process — guerrilla AF? Yep, I reckon.

I’m actually excited to re-record a brand new steem course for 2020 with all the changes that have happened from the perspective of a content creator using all the dapps on the platform now, as of today, what the major differences are and why you should still post here.

(I mean, firstly it saves you hosting on the no 1 global cms target Wordpress after all right, that alone should be a reason to use steem!)

I actually feel that we could do more as a movement to make the same piece of content for different audiences. Think of it like the way the bbc cover wimbledon every year, hundreds of camera angles around the main activity -- tennis. The camera shots and live b roll are vision mixed together for the remote attentive audience at different junctions of your day, they make an interactive experience putting you the viewer at the centre of the action.

Right now, we don't do that, we communicate just a few methods and ways but we don't have a unified workforce to disseminate information -- i don't think it needs leaders to do it thou, i think it just needs blueprints for people to follow and feel involved, breadcrumbs even, adventures in the steem blockchain for people to follow, to build up suspense and intrigue not shady backroom teenager angst but action, just imagine what we can do if we turn the stoner munchies mission to find things to gorge on into content and posts you just cannot miss.

You see the currency really is attention and that speculation economy comes from being disruptive, will they stay, maybe, maybe not, maybe they stay for the drama, maybe they stay to be inspired.

You can make steem anything you want it to be and that’s the wonder of the steem blockchain.

Don’t be without it going into 2020.
