Hi, I'm Jordan and this is my first post here!
My friend Jerry ( @jerrybanfield ) has been telling me how great the community is here for the past few weeks. So I have been looking forward to getting involved.
There are two parts to my post.
- About me
- An idea of how I might contribute to the community (Tell me what you think!)
Part 1: About Me
I am from a small province called Prince Edward Island. It is on the east coast of Canada.
And, since you probably don't know where it is this might help...
There is a new show on TV called "Anne" which takes place here. IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5421602/
I come from a small place but have lived in a variety of different places over the years. Including...
Calgary, Alberta Canada (7 years)
Other cities in Canada for at least a month: Kingston, Shilo, Quebec City, Trois Rivieres
Seoul, Korea (6 months)
Buenos Aires, Argentina (5 months x 2 = 10 months)
Northampton , England (6 months)
Crete, Greece (3 months)
Medellin, Colombia (1 month)
And I have had shorter visits in Spain, Belgium, Amsterdam, Uruguay, Mexico, and the United States.
Lately I have been reading Spanish fiction books to improve my Spanish. (it works!)
It might be that living in such a small place has made me want to travel, or it could just be that traveling is fun :)
For my work, I do digital marketing. This has included a variety of different things. Including services, running my own Adsense websites, selling courses, consulting, and creating my own custom software.
I tend to work with remote teams. I have made 335 remote hires as of today. (and have 186 reviews)
Lately what has really taken my interest is creating software. I have created a few apps for my own use and I keep getting more ideas for software I want to build.
I am also a certified consultant with ActiveCampaign which is a marketing automation software. (My account link: http://www.activecampaign.com/?_r=5E7TSJWQ)
My experience with their company has driven me to create my own software that makes advertising easier. I have a few courses on how to use ActiveCampaign at my site at https://training.jordanarsenault.com.
And my biggest non-work goal right now is to start kite surfing! I got the equipment and I am starting lessons soon...
Part 2: An Idea Of How I Can Contribute To The Community
With my background in marketing and software, I have an idea that may help out the community here.
Would you find it valuable if I was to create software that connect in with Steemit? (or promotes it)
For example: A software that auto-posts your Steemit post to your Facebook page
I would want to build something that the community would find valuable. I think that if there were more tools like this available it would serve to promote Steemit more. And this could increase the price and increase the traffic to the website.
They could have to do with marketing automation to make your life easier.
Another thing is that I will be able to promote the apps with my marketing background. This advertising could also bring more users into the site.
My goal is to contribute to the community here.
So my question to you is:
Would you find this valuable?
