Hey @andrarchy and @ned, @o07 and I have been chatting. If you guys decide to sunset steemit.com and put more into marketing, here are some thoughts:
Pull top spokespersons from designated communities on the blockchain to create an impression of the company and what it's capable of being on this blockchain:
- @heiditravels - to represent women/crypto/Europe - the TRADER
- @aggroed - to represent gaming/discord/palnet streaming - the DAPP
- @coruscate - to represent vlogging and lifestyle - the BLOGGER
- @modernpastor - to represent influencers/inspirational/quality content - the INFLUENCER (he's a professional soccer player and is well-integrated and heavily invested in steem)
- @nathanmars - to represent streamers/vloggers - the STREAMER
- @openmic - to represent musicians - the MUSICIAN
- @mattclarke and @anomadsoul - to represent building your community and steem meetups - the MEETUP
- @timcliff - to represent the techy/onboarder/steem fanatic - the LOYALIST
All these guys are whales, orcas, dolphins, and influencers who have worked their way up. They've stuck around for a long time. For a reason. They are loyal, heavily invested, highly integrated with the community, and they want to see this blockchain succeed. When we're in a dip, they don't bat an eyelash. They keep this place going. These represent segments of our steem society that make this place unique and possible for so many. They are all authentic, dedicated bloggers on this blockchain. Show them off. They are your BIGGEST asset. They're from different countries, different backgrounds, and they each have different talents to offer and rally around.
The other thing is, none of these people will likely charge you to use them for marketing. They're all just good people who want this place to succeed. I bet they'd just be glad for the opportunity. They are just here to preach the good word of steem.
