CONTEST! | Operation Mass Adoption | 12,000 Steem in Prizes

Steem Onboarding@steemonboarding (68)2661d

This is a contest for you, the Steemian who has been trying to get their co-worker to join Steem, or maybe convince their partner to start uploading videos to the blockchain, or perhaps make their best friend start blogging about their weekends together but for some reason, they never get around to opening their steem account.

It's time to get all these potential new users to discover the Steem Blockchain

Get your friends to sign-up to Steem and win up to 2,000 Steem in Prizes

OPERATION MASS ADOPTION.PNG

Who Can Join This Contest?

Anyone on the Steem Blockchain with a reputation higher than 57 and who created their account before March 2019. *Any user joining the contest must be an active member of any Steem community older than one month*

_{This kind of contests may attract people trying to rig them, that is why we are this strict in terms of Who can join.}

What does Sign-up to Steem Mean?

The Steem Blockchain has several DApps and frontends. All you have to do is convince your friends and family to open a Steem account, it doesn't matter if they want that account for playing games, count their steps, upload pictures, publish videos or simply just writing their daily thoughts. Sign-up means creating an account on the Steem Blockchain.

How can I explain to them what Steem is about?

Send them to us. We will handle all that explanation for you with...

https://steemonboarding.com

Tell them to pick their preferred language and to watch the ten videos! It will take them around 20 minutes to understand perfectly the basics of Steem.

How can my friends create an account?

There are several options for your friends to sign up to Steem, the ones that @steemonboarding recommends are:

Blocktrades account creation _{Small Fee: Includes Instant account creation, password recovery and password back up}

Steem Ninja _{Small Fee: Includes Instant account creation and referral rewards system}

Steem Monsters (Splinterlands) _{Get a Starter set for a small price with a Steem account included!}

Steemit Sign up service _{Free: Up to 2 weeks for getting the account, includes account recovery}

_{There are several other ways to create a Steem Account, these are just the ones we reccomend but you can invite your friends using any method available in the Blockchain :)}

The Contest | Get your Friends to Join Steem

By using the @steemonboarding videos at https://steemonboarding.com, get as many people to sign up on Steem. They have to be real people, users who will create content, engage in other people's posts, Steemians who will play one of the various games on Steem or that will be active users in one of the various DApps.

The Steemian who gets more users to sign up, wins the contest. It's that easy.

The Deadline | It's a Time Limited Contest

This contest will run for 21 days: Starting on Wednesday, May the 22th at 00:01 PST, finalizing on Wednesday, June the 12th at 23:59 PST.

When the contest starts, you can start inviting and signing-up your friends to the Steem Blockchain. Any account created outside of this timeline will not count for determining the winners. They will also need to publish their introduction post within the deadline. (more information on that below)

The Prizes | Two Contests In One

@theycallmedan is sponsoring this contest with a 1,000 Steem prize. Thanks in advance for making this happen Dan!

The 5 people who get more new Steemians to join the Blockchain will share the 1,000 Steem prize, divided as follows:

1st place - 300 Steem	2nd place - 250 Steem
3rd place - 200 Steem	4th place - 150 Steem
5th place - 100 Steem	*Prizes may grow

_{*If you are a stakeholder or top witness and you want to help sponsor this contest, please get in touch with @anomadsoul #8455 on discord or on Slack.}

11,000 Steem Power Delegation for the most engaging community

On the beginning of this post we mentioned that any user joining this contest has to be part of a community.

The community that gets more people to sign up on Steem, regardless of the winners of the Liquid prize, will get a 10,000 SP delegation from @yabapmatt and a 1,000 SP delegation @OCD for the next 90 days.

_{Again, if you are a stakeholder or top witness and you want to help this contest by offering a delegation to the winning community, please get in touch with @anomadsoul #8455 on discord or on Slack.}

The Rules

The new Steemians invited, must create an account within the time limit of the contest. It doesn't matter what Account creation service they use.
Every user you invite has to make a post introducing themselves before the end of the contest. On this introduction post they have to mention your username and why they joined Steem, otherwise said sign-up will not count for winning the contest. For this intro post, they must use the tag "newonsteem".

_{To make a proper introduction post, please check out the Steemonboarding video talking about this topic:}

@OCD will be curating the tag "new-on-steem". So please make sure these new Steemians you invited use the tag for their introduction post! Anyone using this tag for anything other than their introduction post WILL BE FLAGGED, so please avoid using the tag if you are not a new user who joined Steem via this contest.
Every Steemian who joined the contest, must make a post listing all the members they onboarded and linking to their introduction post so we can verify the authenticity of both the competitor and the New Steemians. The tag you should use for this post must be "HelloMassAdoption" and "blocktradescontest"

We want to thank @theycallmedan and @ocd-witness for sponsoring the prizes of this contest and @ocd and @blocktrades for providing Voting Power to curate the new users and the wrap up posts.

As you can see, this contest holds some interest features for everyone on the platform. People who join the contest will benefit, new users will get curated, the communities involved will potentially get some delegation and overall, everyone on Steem will benefit for the tens - or perhaps hundreds - of new users joining the platform thanks to this contest!

@blocktrades and @ocd-witness are witnesses on the Steem Blockchain, you can show them your support by voting for them here or by setting @steemonboarding as your witness proxy here.

Let's reach mass adoption together!

Hey @steemonboarding my reputation is 55 but I am a member of Partiko mentorship program by @rosatravels and before 5 days ago I also joined @nathanmars #seven77 family for promoting Steem.

I am also promoting Steem in My country "Pakistan". I am convincing my Friends, Family, Co-workers to join Steem. I am also talking with my native language Fellows to join Steem and Promote Steem to Others. Even I have invited 11 Users with my reference code and 2 without on Steemit and also on @partiko Dapp. Three of my co-workers are already signed up and five will soon get signed up. As Part of Seven77 we are on the same track

Steem here, Steem there

Steem is Everywhere

Even after a month maybe my reputation will rise upto 57. Am I eligible to participate in your contest?
@reyvaj(60)· 2657d
Good contest, but I suggest that all those who bring new users be awarded, not only the winners of the contest. In this way everyone will have an incentive to participate beyond the result. And what Steemit must do to have a better performance is to prohibit bots.
@novacadian(65)· 2657d

@snowyknight(57)· 2658d
Cool initiative, but why only with a reputation higher than 57?

57 seem like an arbitrary number, especially those of us that contribute in our slow and steady way to the community and are still in the mid 50's.

Please advise as to me it seems, the more people involved, the better the outcomes, hey?

Well maybe Steemit should have focused on how to retain users and not just sitting on this community. It is very sad what happen during the last couple of years.

fantastic....! people won't think twice about participating in steemit ......
@bgelfen(29)· 2659d
Took a bit of time to get set up, but I'm good and ready. I feel like it would be more useful to put effort into interactions within the community opposed to bringing more people on for financial gain. Not saying it's a bad idea, but from my experience, if you get users insanely hyped, the word will spread like wildfire. An idea would be instead of whoever can bring in more people, make it whoever posts the most, or comments the most, etc. Just a thought.

That is a good contest! Too bad I can not take part as My rep is only 53 and I have been on Steemit since April 2018. No one with higher reps seems to be voting on my posts. It seems that is the way it is going now. Too hard to build rep when higher rep accounts are not voting much. Well, good luck everyone!

But as a believer in this blockchain and knowing the next election will keep bringing purged accounts from Facebook I push on. Great idea tho 💡

@travelnepal(66)· 2660d
Its hard to explain people about crypto in my country where 7 of the bitcoin traders are arrested and was a front page headlines news as crypto was banned in Nepal. Although i have been trying to bring all my friends circle to steem. Almost 100 of them all slowly starting leaving it. Coz as a minnow they can earn nothing nobody votes them and environment here is so complicated that nobody can invest them as its hard to buy and sell due to all Nepal Bank regulation.

Great initiation will definitely not give up promoting here In Nepal.
@murathe(61)· 2660d
Not a bad one, hoping to see the 'mass-adoption' support to the newbies in general too. They'll not loose the morale soon after they realizes support is guaranteed.
@hardaeborla(69)· 2660d
Firstly, I want to appreciate the effort of @steemonboarding with the support of @theycallmedan @yabapmatt @ocd-witness @coruscate @ocd and @blocktrades for coming up with this great initiative or idea to bring in more people into the steem blockchain by the affordable and easy registration process adopted by @steemninja, and @steemmonsters. This is actually a great development on the steem blockchain and I must say that you are actually contributing to the success of this great platform.

I have actually been thinking about how contest like this can be organized even though I had invited most of my friends and family members into the steem blockchain and I am sure some other Steemians might have done the same. The astonishing part about this is that I never had the intention of inviting them for my purpose of earning because no one can ever know except I tell him or her since it's just like a secret deed. My main purpose of inviting them back then was to make them earn steem as this will make them earn money just for their activities on the steem blockchain.

There are actually lot of people out there who also wish to start earning money even though they have the skills and what it takes to earn, but they can't really find the right platform to execute their writing talents, blogging activities, game playing, video blogging, etc. This is actually one of the reasons why this campaign or contest is important because it will create more awareness to people around the world such that we tend to have increasing number of people in the steem blockchain.

I actually believe it is part of our responsibility as a Steemian to always take part in anything that can add more value to the steem blockchain either a contest is organized or not. I believe we can all win together if we all stand together by adding more to the development of the steem blockchain and one of the best ways of achieving this is by inviting more people into the steem blockchain. It's high time we let the world know more about Steemit. I have also make up my mind that I will try as much as possible to make this contest goes viral.

Lastly, I will love to ask a question about the community you made mention of while typing. I actually don't understand the delegation analysis you gave regarding the Steemit community that wins the contest. I hope you can extrapolate more on this.

Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla 💞

@sumit1998(67)· 2661d
Great effort for mass adoption. Until now I have reffered so many of my friends to steem. If I count them it will be near about 5 people now I will try that I can bring more friends to this platform.
@coinboost(48)· 2661d
My bad luck! I'm late to know this post and I don't have enough karma. I'll enjoy convincing people without participating in the game. Anyways it's a great way to reach more real people and bring them to blockchain technology, which is the key to a better decentralized, trustless, fair world.

Yesterday I convinced one of my friends to signup, and he applied for an account. Mostly, he will publish his artwork, which is not popular in steemit, but I told him that you can steel gain fame and probably earn some extra coins for real works.
@milaan(70)· 2661d
If we all are so keen to mass adoption of steem chain, then why to offer such a contest like this. I am not trying to de-mean your effort, rather trying to submit my points.

A registration fee(no matter how small is), be it in cents always perceived as a turn down for newcomers. It is considered as a barrier to entry. You may say that you have the other options also, which is free registration but has a waiting time like 2 weeks which is another turn down. The point is that- if we are so serious about lowering the barrier to entry then why not offer a 1 month free registration window by @blocktrades or Steem-ninja(@oracle-d) to on-board newcomers to steem chain. You may offer this, with a robust verification and introductory post(with some matching code to verify the authenticity of the new users) which can prevent spam & multiple accounts. This way, you can get more natural and organic users to join Steem chain.

Account Registration and transaction through blockchain should be instant and free, if you are keen to on-board.
While we have Steem chain as a great blockchain in which the transaction cost free, but we have a very poor registration process. This is a fact. If we can accept this fact unanimously, we can have a solution.
With this contest, you are trying to reaching out to the influencers or even the regular steem users to make a whisper to their peers in their social circle who have not joined steem chain yet and in return, you are offering a lucrative reward in this contest. So let's take this for granted and have a fair analogy then.

You can save more or on-board more if you offer a 21-day free registration window and I am sure that can yield a better objective for you as the later may bring more natural or organic users.

This contest would have been justified only if you had a specific purpose to invite the celebrity/social influencers from other established community. In general terms, I don't see this contest fulfilling your objective.

Note- I am really sorry if I have, in any way, hurt your sentiment. I have just tried to put forth my apprehension.

@uyobong(78)· 2661d
@Coruscate, @Anomadsoul, this contest sounds cool. I virtually help people onboard steem on daily basis and do really love to be a part of this. I have some questions:
- You only recommended three sources of sign-up, if one chooses to use any other signup platform apart from the ones you listed, is such still acceptable in the contest?
- How does the "inviter" keep a track of those he has invited to steem, do we need to make a post listing and referring to the introduction posts??
- I hope that whether blog or video is an acceptable way of making the introduction post of the invitee?
- Is a community effort acceptable?
I hope you respond soonest.

Am glad @Steemonboarding was able to get this through with @theycallmedan. Good days ahead for steem.

@reddragonfly(66)· 2661d
This is a really nice idea, at least "on paper."

I think that for this to work, at least in terms of bringing in people who can add lasting value to the community, we need to come up with a primary "pitch" OTHER THAN 'we have free money for posting.'

The rewards thing is like offering "free stuff" when you open a store... you certainly "attract a crowd" in a hurry, but that that crowd is made up almost exclusively of people looking for free stuff, not people who will become lasting customers of your business.

So, what do we offer "OF VALUE" to people that sets us aside? Well, no YouTube, Facebook, twitter bans for "saying the wrong thing" or supporting the "wrong" political party. We are also a one-stop-shop in the sense that one account can access video, gaming, blogging, crowdfunding, photosharing and more... across platforms with unique identities, but sharing a common core. You don't need 5 accounts here.

What else?

You can't convince anyone to do anything for a prolonged period of time without incentives. They will need to convince themselves, so gotta make them realize they need STEEM to be as good as everybody else. Nobody likes to be the last to switch over! As long as we appear to be making money, and too busy for them, they will convince themselves to do the same! With steem reverse psychology may work better. Never tell anyone they should post, tell them they shouldn't without saying it, and see what happens. LOL heres my post, I'll try the reverse psychology today!

Please, people, forget the fee. It doesn't work like that, people will think it's a scam.

Have you ever seen that any company has such a model? Join Facebook, Instagram, Uber, Yahoo Mail, G-mail... with a small fee?

No! It's Free! Because they know how to "cache out" their users. You need to learn that. It's not bad.

Please, do the math:
- number of new users, 1.000 x fee
- number of new users without the fee: 5.000 x 0 but... The price could rise up from 0.3 to 0.5 $ everybody win
Also, 300 Steem is nice, but it's 100 $, it's not all that much. It's one day salary.

It would be waaaaaaaaaay more efficient to organize the contest for something, the best photo. Or to sponsor the contest on some other platform *(GuruShots or DpReview or....) and give at least 500 $ to the winner.

Or find someone promising on Patreon and make a contract:
- we will upvote you 30 x 50 $ = 1.500 $ per month
- if you promote us with the goal of attracting XXXX new users
- if you succeed, we will continue the collaboration
Growth must be natural, effortless. There must be a content to bond the users. How do you expect us (amateurs) to bring people to something to write about something and to pay a small fee to join in?! so they can earn 0.01 $ per post (median value).

And, if they join, why do you expect them to stay? The ecosystem was the same for 2 years, what will be different this time, and why do we expect a different result?

Excited for this one...
@king-oghie(68)· 2661d
A great technique to on-board new users on Steem platform. I hope no one games this initiative though.
@lauch3d(66)· 2661d
This is a direction we need. If you are interested in mass-adoption and you have some influence on the plattform maybe you should think about the following option:

most people are not aware but on Steemit we already had some Youtubers: Crypto Daily, Boxmining and even bigger accounts like the Hodgetwins (2,1 Million subscribers on their main channel) ...but unfortunately what we did was ignoring them

Why wasnt there a quality tagg like steemstem for youtubers and why wasnt steemit.inc using its main accounts to reward those according to their reach? They came voluntarily, this was a huge opportunity. Imagine they would still be here with their followers onboard and using SMT...anyways we cant go back in time but maybe this can be repeated. I wish the others best luck to convince their friends, with my best friend I tried but they are still on facebook lel.
@apshamilton(73)· 2661d
This is an excellent idea! Just the motivation to get some friends and family to join Steem. I think I'll be creating the account for them because people don't like to pay and the Steemit Inc signup is too slow. People forget about it and lose motivation.
@matt-a(66)· 2661d
I'm signing people up for free. So if you have someone wanting an account (please don't game it) send me a memo (encrypt it if you'd like) with the desired username (make sure to check on www.steemd.com that it is available) and I will reply to you with an encrypted memo containing the username and a temporary password.
@prakashghai(64)· 2661d
good initiative but I am not too sure how popular this will get. maybe simpler terms would have helped.
