Hi fellow Steemians. Today we are going to highlight a new member who came to us through outreach. This is an example of how well outreach works and why it should be something to consider while trying to grow the community.
A few weeks ago we decided to throw our first meetup in Los Angeles. We we were looking for a host and popped into Il Piccolo Verde because they had an awesome patio. We spoke to the owner and let him know what we wanted to do. He was very enthusiastic and admitted that he was curious about crypto.
So we were simply scouting for a meetup location and we ended up talking about crypto, and ultimately, Steem for 2 hours. In fact, so impressed with Steem, the owner decided to buy a bitcoin and then exchange it for Steem.
We were thrilled because here was a guy, Michael to be more specific, who was looking to get involved and learn all he could about crypto but didn't really know where to start.
Why Steem?
It may sound odd for someone to jump right into the game and choose Steem. Steem is trading high right now and there are other cheaper alternatives and most people that are new to crypto will never have heard of Steem in the first place.
Well, knowing that Michael was a business owner, we explained the income opportunity and leverage of Steemit. He was hooked.
One of the most important things for a business owner to know about Steemit is the value of the domain itself. Every single blog post gets indexed in Google and if you post about the benefits of your business then your prospective online customers while find you. Its a win win for any business especially knowing that practically none of your local competition will be blogging on Steemit.
So it's time to welcome @lasteem to the Steemit community and encourage him the best we can to learn the ropes and engage.
The bottom line here is that outreach works and the efforts of singular Steemians can, and will, help benefit all of us..
@steemmarketing keep up the great work!
