Here's a thought....Some positive action is needed on steemit.
I will have to leave the techy side to other people - that's not what this post is.
If steemit is to have a future (as a blogging social media platform) we need more people joining.
The act of growth creates its own momentum, and thus increases the potential value of steem itself.
Why are we not paying users to recruit?
Incentives work.
If we can pay users to recruit the 'right' people - the ones who will keep posting, stick it out - it can be a win win for everyone, and paying the recruiter will cost nothing from steemit.
Crazy uh?
Not in the slightest.....
Here is the broad picture, the principle - I'll leave people clever than me, to iron out the details.
1/Patriot decides to go recruiting- on the promise of 15 steem. (not dollars, but we don't need a dollar price, if we believe it's going up, right. As the dollar price increases the steem payment per new customer, stays the same. Imagine if the steem price is $3 - we 'll have an army of recruiters).
2/Patriot get a new user.
3/ Patriot takes 10% of the new users steem rewards from curation and content posting. - as commission for the recruiting job.
the 10 % is taken until the 15 steem earning is reached. Then is stops.
This way, people will always be on the look out for the best users - if they don't endure, well,..... they don't get paid....
It's enough to incentivize quality recruitment.
IF 1 person could get 10 people a month of enduring users - that's 150 steem a month. I will just take some time for the commission for recruitment, to come back to the recruiter, is all...
I'd be tempted...
Seems like a good model to get growth and cost nothing...
EDIT - you could even have a sliding scale of commission to be discussed with the 'new customer' - 10% to accpeting less commissions...do a deal with the customer...or something...I haven't ironed out details in my head..
resteem it!!
