We have to find the right balance between publicity and hype. Great technologies have failed due to bad marketing. I don't know if the Steem team are waiting before they do a big push. They have the funds to do some publicity, but they may want it to be more finished first. Meanwhile we can make people more aware that it exists. I've been doing so across social media.
I wouldn't want to hype it, but just for there to be up-to-date information out there for when people search for it. A series of videos explaining the tech to promote it towards businesses, users, and developers as well as some handy infographs to spread around.
As a community working together to create media content to promote Steem I'm sure we could bypass the need for funding, or utilise our upvotes.
You mentioned the Wikipedia page was not up to date. I've made a few changes and posted about it. That page shows up high on Google a 'steemit' search, so we should try to improve it. I'm not great at making videos, but I know a lot of people here are very creative. I think we have the talents and just need to get organised for a proper campaign.
yes, videos will really help. Explainer videos, shareable infographics, killer posts etc
Hey, thanks for the Steem. I make comments anyway and sometimes it pays off financially as you can see the one you replied to will pay a few dollars! My best one recently made me almost $22! I love this community and I try to stay positive
Yes, your comments may be have been very timely at times and have fix someone out there. Kudos! Thanks for accepting!
Nice work! ^_^
Hey, check out your rewards on this comment! Congrats
I'd like to see communities added and rebranding of the steemit site, to make it clear there is steem blockchain which steemit is built on, before we shift marketing to high gear.
Well said, it could certainly be, considering that steem is in beta etc but looking at the weight in this post about how powerful steem can be, it may not be hype, however you market it. steem technology is indeed one with strong potential.
