RE: Steemit Newbies Steembasicincome Sponsorship Program

in #steembasicincome7 years ago (edited)

I love Steemit! I think I may have an addictive personality or something, because since discovering Steemit about a month ago, not a day goes by without my reading, commenting, and often posting on the platform. I can honestly say I've made friends on here already who I expect to have as part of my life for the rest of my life.

I'm so in love with Steemit, and the depth of conversation and connection I've found within a small tribe of spiritual writers on here that I've started working to bring my fellow spiritual writers from other platforms to Steemit. Hence my primary difficulty with this platform, onboarding new people!

It is really hard to get people interested in Steemit who I know will love it once they get past those initial hurdles. Even once you get them accustomed to the idea of being paid in cryptocurrency, it takes so long for them to get an account created. Then they finally get approved, but can't do anything on mobile. And lots of people only have mobile for internet access. And then once they are here on desktop/laptop, if they don't have at least $100 they can invest in STEEM or SBD, they have virtually no upvote power, nor ability to pay bots to help get their posts seen more at a time when they have no followers.

I'm working hard at helping to grow the spiritual community on here despite all these obstacles, but good grief. The platform needs some work to make this something that can grow beyond the true believers. It just needs to be easier to get started and have some modest success in those first few months.

Glad to see a program like this helping with that. I submit myself as an applicant and will also spread the word to those I'm trying to help onto the platform.

In general, over time, what would be the best link for me to give out for them to find out more about this program? A month from now should I still be sending people to this post, or is there a better link for me to put in fixed "getting started" docs?

Sorry for the delay, I will be your sponsor this round.


With the overwhelming reply to this contest not everyone could be sponsored last week, however a new chance is available here. Follow that link to try again and if you were not sponsored you may reuse what was said here if you wish.


To increase your chances of getting sponsored please include a link to your introduction post if you have one and also a link to your favorite post you have made on steemit so far.

Thanks for the reply however delayed, but I'm still not clear on whether I am sponsored or not. Your first line makes it seem I am already, but then the next 2 paragraphs sound like I still need to apply. Please clarify.

But for my question about where to direct others, it sounds like I should just link them to both the intro post linked in the other post you shared AND your profile to follow you so that they can see the sponsorship request post for that week. Thank you.
