RE: How to Be a Good Crypto Ambassador! The First Step to Getting Friends into Crypto!

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

I use a similar point when talking to people about social media.

"How much has Facebook/Instagram/Twitter paid you for your posts? How important do you think you are to them?"

And then point out how much money Facebook has made on their posts of their families and how valuable their input actually is to the network. Then I point to Steemit, and how the content you post has value here. Showing my wallet and pointing out what steem is worth tends to make some eyes go wide. It's usually followed up with a "wow" or three.

Sort:  

Great points! I try to not lead by showing them the money though most of the time because I feel like if they come on here and post a bunch of stuff and make 0.01 cent I will be blamed, lol! I could say "well, once cent is 100% more than you make on Facebook so there ya go!" :)

Precisely! You also have to point out that it takes a while to reach that point where you make $100 off of a post. You'll be grasping at the penny posts for a while until you build your network up.

Yeah! I am trying not to focus on the money right now, even though its hard, lol!

I know that feel...
