So awesome! Thank you so much for this contest, I'm honored! At the time I wrote up my proposal for the video, I'd almost forgotten you were doing this. I've got the basic structure for the video ready to go, so now I just need some video content from the community. I'll post frequently until there's enough to complete the project and get it produced and posted ASAP. :D
So pumped about this, can't wait to see it come to fruition!

@winstonwolfe's idea was a great choice @thecryptofiend - I can't wait to see and share the video when it's done.

Me too. Your idea was pretty awesome too though!

Congrats, @winstonwolfe! Great idea! Can't wait to see it come to fruition!!

Cool! I just learned about this.

Yes it is a great idea. I can't wait to see the finished result. Do also check out the 2013 video in the post to get an idea of what it will be like.

Well done. Hopefully this will get some more video footage coming your way:)

Congratulations!

Thanks for the mention.

You're welcome. Thanks for contributing! I am still thinking about how we might take it forward. Have you had any more thoughts on it?

Some 'great ideas' here - Nice concepts. ♨️💯

Yes definitely:)

100%, because of the puppy. ;)

Great job. Thanks Señor Fiend

Thanks mate. You are welcome thought you might enjoy the puppy:)

Good stuff @thecryptofiend. Thanks for the shoutout. If you're still interested in creating a video testimonial competition/incentive, I'd be willing to invest some time in it. Let me know on Steemit.chat. Or, if there's any other way I can help promote Steemit, please let me know. I really want this platform to eclipse all others.

I will for sure - I think I'll do a competition for it at some point but I will wait until after @winstonwolfe has enough submissions to do his video before I launch it so as not to detract from that.

I think it's sad that you feel you need to "market" to anyone for any reason. Why not let it grow organically by word of mouth-which is the most reliable way to build a community? If I see too much "steem" advertising, I'll just move elsewhere.

I disagree. I find it sad that you don't understand that advertising is important and works.

If word of mouth was all that was required then nobody would ever advertise anything.

If I see too much "steem" advertising, I'll just move elsewhere.

That statement makes no sense.

If you see Steemit being advertised in various places it will somehow put you off using Steemit?

Sounds like hipster logic.

It easy to sit around complaining and feeling sad about things, harder to get of your backside and try to change things.

You sound like an entitled twat. Why are you attacking me? Bored?

Lol. You are the one making attacks. Get over yourself.

If everyone used RSS feeds from Streemian to Twitter using categories it would help a ton. Our content already goes to Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and Gplus.

Thanks I didn't know you could do that. Steemian is still in closed beta though so it might be a while before people can do it.

I've dropped some Steemit links on gab.ai , and at least one other person is doing so too. So Steem has a presence on Gab too.

Thanks a lot for quoting what I said the other day, and congratulations to the winner! :)

You're welcome. Thanks:)

Thanks for all you do, @thecryptofiend!

Thank you. Just trying to help spread the word:)

The single day shoutout idea from @getonthetrain could be automated if we used Thunderclap. Will try to think of some marketing ideas for next round. I do have a Masters in Marketing I never really ever put to good use!

Yes someone has mentioned thunderclap before not just here but with previous crypto projects that I was involved with. I never quite understood how it works - perhaps you could explain it? Also would be great to have you input generally.

Basically you set up a free campaign on Thunderclap and get lots of people to pledge (you have to get a certain amount - I think minimum is 100) a tweet or post on Facebook for a particular date and on that date an automatic pre-written tweet and Facebook post will go out. I've not done one yet, but been itching for an passionate topic! Might have just found it, if someone does the video (or a fancy photo) for the campaign part :)

Cool. Thanks for explaining. So it is a bit like the social media idea @getonthetrain had just more organised. I always assumed you had to pay them for the service. Please let me know if you do decide to do it before then but it might be worth pursuing once @winstonwolfe finishes the video.

No need to wait on me. It may take some time before I'm able to gather all the video clips I need from everyone. By all means, if you have an idea that can be implemented in short order, bring it on! :D

OK I will have a think about it.

Great job to everyone involved!
