I'm bringing some major creators to Steemit
I started on Steemit about a month ago, and it's been a great month so far. I've encouraged my YouTube subscribers to follow me to Steemit, I've answered questions from Steemians on YouTube, and have met great people in this community.
I've been speaking to a few Steemians about how to get more larger creators to come to the platform, and I am personally starting a project to recruit new creators to come to Steemit.
I am currently in talks with a number of news, politics, gaming, and other creators about coming to Steemit, which I believe will be terrific for the growth of the platform. Two of these creators are close to finalizing details and I'll be announcing them soon. I hope to have an announcement to make in the next 48 hours.
I am excited about this and will be using the tag steemitcreators for what I hope will be a number of upcoming introductions of new creators to Steemit. I hope you will help me in welcoming them!
Great initiative @davidpakman! Glad to see you on Steemit.com! Hope more Youtubers join this platform.
I hope so as well. However, I don't really understand who so few do. Most of them could make a lot more money by posting their video over here, and just including a few "Steemit exclusive" sentences, and people would upvote that stuff. I just think there's a lot of money to be made for YouTubers over here.
You are right. I think it has to do with them not really knowing that there is a great alternative platform for their content, where they will be more rewarded. I do my part about letting my favorite youtubers know about Steemit, and so should everyone else :)
It does not even have to be an alternative platform; it can be an additional platform. They don't have to stop or reduce the use of their other platforms just because they are using Steemit. There is nothing wrong with crossposting in my opinion.
Right. So the integration from Steemit to other platforms and vice versa has to be flawless to help creators save time to cross-post.
That's a good point. I wonder if anyone has considered a type of "Sign up with Facebook/Twitter/YouTube" to make it fast and smooth to create an account here. That might get some lazy people to sign up!
I like this idea, but that would mean that the other platforms would have to be willing to cooperate and partner with Steemit Inc. in some capacity. Don't know if they are willing to do so at this point in time.
Not really; both Facebook and Twitter has API that allows any website owner to do this. However, I'm sure there are lots of concerns about implementing something like this.
I have a radio show I'd love to bring them on. I'm thinking of hosting a youtuber panel discussion and pay the participants 100 steem each.
absolutely!
I'd love to help out, let me know if there's anything I can do to help support your project 👊🏽
I am new here so please support and help me grow
Help me to do mine , i am new here
WOW. with 30 followers... good ... imagine how far you will go when you are well experience. will sure follow you.
Have you considered that the way the Steem Inc operates is kind of unethical? They are offering a pegged crypto that sometimes pumps up to 10 or 20 dollars and goes back to 1$. You may argue that it is the fault of the investor to invest irresponsibly but still raises the question of why a pegged coin is hyped up so easily. And why the creators shouldn't be held responsible for it?
Also, they are specifically paying you and other public figures to get more people to promote it so that the top 0.01% can get even richer. Your one word comment will always be worth more than the guy who worked for three hours to write an excellent blogspot if he doesn't get noticed by a whale or someone with a high SP.
Did you read the whitepaper? SBD is a floor peg, meaning that witnesses have tools to increase the value to $1 if the price falls much below, but open market activity could drive the price much higher like we are seeing now. . The tools that witnesses have to decrease the value back towards a $1 are available but manipulating the price lower could create long term inflation and a long term issue with SBD value. Not sure how Steem Inc is supposed to be responsible for a pump of SBD on the open market. I see that you have taken advantage of the SBD price. . not sure where ethics come into play here.
No, nor do most average investors buying Steem in the market.
I figured that out considering that it only pumps one way and higher than 1$ and almost always stays at 1$.
In other words you are agreeing with my point that it can't be pegged?
Because they made a pegged coin that has loopholes to make it unpegged?
Why wouldn't I? I am not the one responsible for managing the price. That's the job of witnesses. It is their failure.
Read the white paper before making comments and you may get your answers as it clearly states what type of peg SBD is and the job of the witness. Drastic decisions should not be made for short term moves in the market. If you don’t understand market mechanics then keep your comments to yourself, makes you look uneducated
yup
well said my good Sir
any time I hear someone use the word 'unethical'
I check my wallet.
I realy second you for that

Thanks for creating this contest and opportunity to connect on Steemit. I've upvoted your post. Will get back with my introduction.
That would be great exposure for Steemit. Help with a type of welcoming committee.
wow yeah, thats a cool idea!
Agreed but actions speak louder!
yeah but introverted non-action speaks really quietly about things that are way more awesome than will ever be achieved!
Great idea, a welcoming committee has serious value.
love to contribute in any way i can!
Youtube pnel discussion?
Am hoping on getting to know and meet more people like you @davidpakman and @aggroed because you guys inspire me. I really appreciate what you guys are doing. Kudos guys.
Good call... I need to get tuned back into your show.
Great..
Awesome!
Please i am interested so let do it together

I could be interested. Have a look at my YouTube and let me know!
perfect
Great idea! Why not?
Thats a great idear @aggroed. I wish you success
WOW! Count me in please, and give me a role to perform for which I will gladly do.
David, I've always followed you in YouTube and it's more than a pleasure to see your content from here instead. I can give you more here than Patron.
Keep up the good work! I will definitely start following @steemitcreators
hey fantastic @davidpakman - i recently made a course over on @teamvideo - 32 parts, over 3hr+ of information to help inform 'content creators' mainly focused on youtubers and the exodus into steemit! :) hope you would share or upvote that so it gets a bit more exposure. thanks for everything you are doing to strengthen the community.
And the snowball starts rolling down the slope. Wait a few months and everyone will know about Steem.
Let's hope so!
Hopefully to inspire some long time "lurkers" to begin their own "content creation" to ever build the community. Sweet Deal!
Check out our concept in #shop in hopes to bring users to Steemit as the platform of choice! See our post Introducing #shop to Steemit! A Way To Onboard Millions! Here
That is sensational news @davidpakman.
It was only a matter of time before some bigger names realized the potential value of the steem blockchain and what steemit can offer over the traditional social media sites. While it is still small, we are going to see an explosion in 2018. This could be one of the best moving tokens as the user base jumps into the millions.
Thank you for reaching out to your contacts and attracting more to this forum.
I think the time to go long steempower has hit. Start trading those SBD's for SP! Cheers
I am using a 50/50 split...well half of a half.
Of the SBDs I get in my 50/50 reward split, I turn half into SP and the other half I hold in SBD...for now.
I am going to wait and see what happens with SBD....was it just an odd pump or is there something more brewing with them?
I am a first timer here! Is splitting STE and STEEM the best idea to start? Or would it be better to begin STEEM only.
I met a friend online who told me about this and mining as well. I just set up two friends mining ELectroneum yesterday just to get some coins under our belts. It’s awesome to be apart of a community that shares a passion for this.
SBD (not STE) can be redeemed for STEEM. Right now the price of SBD is high meaning that a 50/50 split gets one 6 times more STEEM right now than normal.
thanks for joining and promoting the platform! The movement is snowballing!
Yes! This is the future of media.
Nice! That's amazing. We keep growing!
