This is a grwat idea but i thinl we need to think deeper than just sig ing them up and give them a place to steem. Focusing on recruit.ent is great but we have to ensure that the people are being trained in how to make quality content and interact with the community.
You do a great job at following up on your recruits and proteges but we must ensure that our folks know its about building a community.
That includes getting vendors to accept steem which is what will truly make it attractive to people all over. I feep this is where steems community is lacking in it efforts. Recruits will come regardless but to build an economy around this system is what will ensure longevity.
The need to go from steem to cedi or any other fiat needs to be eliminated.
