So I've been writing down some ideas for the past few weeks all over the place. The truth is that I'm trying to brainstorm something potentially huge that could help with the main challenge (in my view) we face on Steem, USER RETENTION.
Some of it is my fault, I'm sure. Maybe, I could have done a better job coaching a friend, setting the right expectations for them, as to not lose them to the hands of disappointment. But, I also think most of the enamorment was lost by the inability some feel to be part of an established community.
In other words, help me help you and others.
@omitaylor sends me a private message asking me to pose a question on this blog.
As someone who I expect to be very much involved in the project we are attempting to launch, I tend to listen to her crazy but bright little mind, even when It flirts with chaos.
write a post later asking what your readers think brand new steemians should know. Not the regular comment, network, advice. Not advice. But what they need to know.
She of course elaborated much more on the subject, but this is the meat and potatoes of today's conundrum. And because at the end I want to make sure I'm not attempting to push an idea that won't interest the masses, I think following her lead is very important.
Tell me, I want to make sure I'm not failing to consider something crucial because I'm about to embark on a big project and I don't want to waste anyone's time. Honestly, that is my biggest concern on the matter. I happen to believe we are getting together not only some great minds, but also the right kind of attitudes, which to me is probably more important.
So there, the comment section of this post in an invitation to a conversation. I would love to enlist your brain into the task at hand, and hopefully together we can come up with a great solution. It may not be the only one, it may not even be the best, but if we don't try, failing is guaranteed.
