You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. Leading by example is the way we influence others. ;) By being prosperous with the comments, people will see the results. I had a party with my clan yesterday and we talked a lot about Steemit. One of my clan members actually opened an account almost a year ago but did nothing with it. Now that they have seen the results, I suspect a good part of my clan will become active in short order.
