I could show you some of my posts on Redit with over 100k view :-) - that is traffic for free - some come, no idea how many join, and if they join how long they stay - that is the issue - but we are not the onboarding team, we can only help.
I did not onboard many but several that are pretty active (even they did not want in first place) - just saying @detlev or
@melinda010100 or
@tengolotodo and others such as
@papilloncharity I knew before Steemit was invented - not got kudos for onboarding referral, maybe they also talked to others before such as
@steevc before joining, but they are great community members. Quality over quantity
FYI @starkerz - onboarding newbies is cool, but the relevant task is to keep them if they provide quality, we do not need lurkers that join, get a free HP, powerdown and leave.
But I know how it is on shows - people say a lot - but that is typical in marketing / sales - do that since ages.
We need to educate people, we need to help but we need to focus on quality people - that is waht some people have to handle.
