As my followers will know by now I try and make time to welcome some new Steemians whenever I get a gap. Damn, this is becoming tedious as there are so many trying to game the system by introducing themselves over and over… or, introduce themselves after 700 posts and 200 followers… so I now go check their blog BEFORE I read their Introduction
Welcome
@steemmeupscotty (I can see some battling to spell that one) ..A British expat living in Japan this man is a deep thinker with a myriad of interests ..I can see him making valuable contributions to the community. Some notes from his introduction ..
A few of my interests are
Music - all kinds, especially electronic. 1988 was a seminal year in my life if you catch my drift. Long live the 303 and 808!
Yoga - back in 2013 I completed my 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training whilst in India.
Art - It's all good, especially my girlfriend’s.
Crypto - been “in” since 2013. I don't care who Satoshi is.
Psychology - especially transpersonal. Stan Grof’s the man.
Travel - don’t do enough. My nomadic spirit aches.
Science - it consistently blows my mind. Feed me.
Mavericks, freaks and game changers - inspiration for my soul.
Sports - mostly from the armchair. I could've been a contender!
Reading - periodic binges of all sorts.
History - it all started listening to my Grandad’s WW2 stories as a kid, have never lost the bug.
And if he convinces his good lady to sign up, we will also be treated to some nifty art. Please go over and welcome @steemmeupscotty with a bright comment and a ‘Follow’
Welcome
@turkeyball, a strange seeming person from Turkey who will be introducing Steemians to his country, the cuisine and some do’s and dont’s when visiting the country. Based on his Introduction post I reckon there could be some interesting follow ups .. the challenge will be knowing when they are tongue in cheek or deadly serious… from his Introduction
In my writings, I will talk about the places you should visit and the foods you need to eat in Turkey. I will explain the cliché information about the Turkey with the humor. For example, many of them know me as ''The Kebab Country''. Because our most famous food is kebab. But what most people do not know is that food can only be eatable regularly by people who is well financed person
Head over and give @turkeyball a warm Steemian welcome
Welcome
@yeanca07, a Nigerian go-getter who appears to have his feet firmly on the ground he starts off sounding like an infomercial for his company… which sort of put me off at first but then he introduces his girl friend and things got a little bit more personal...from his post…

Please, pretty polly please, do not go over there and say 'Nice post follow me and I follow you'. Ask an intelligent question, read and comment about something in the post to show you actually took the time to read the Introduction.

I think it is around 6 ...my counting is poor ...but it is the idea that counts. My enthusiasm is starting to pale though.. plenty chaff...very little wheat..and yes I know that is subjective.

Yea I get it. With the high amount of users everyday that are coming in. It might get a little boring since everyone wants to get into it. Perhaps an other approach? Some highlighting of good content in a certain tag might help you get your enthusiasm back ;)

Good point..... but my angle was to try and work on retention..keeping people active once they sign up. There are so many inactive accounts.

Hmm ok that is a good thought. What about not going through the introduction feed but get established writers (5+ blog posts) and promote those more? Since they wrote 5 blog posts (that should contain a bit of quality) you help with the retention of those writers, give them more exposure and help them grow bigger.
The 'problem' when focussing on new people is that no one ever knows if they are gonna stay or not. They might think its easy money and when they realise it isn't they will quit anyway.
