This is a neat idea. I am slowly working on inspiring people that I think would love to be part of steemit to move over. It can be frustrating because I know they will love it and I know people will love their content ... but it's actually been a harder sell that I thought.
People don't quite "see" even when you really take the time to paint a picture of the community, the financial possibilities, the great content, the lack of censorship and all the other good stuff.
My goal is to have a tree too :)
People tend to listen to the money part. Now that I can say that I have $20K in crypto assets people perk up. Later when my account builds up and I start taking an actual income it'll be even more convincing. Bless those that see the value without the dollar signs, but it is a great hook LOL
I'll have to think about that some. I tend to downplay the money part. I've only been truly active for a month so I didn't feel qualified to go there. I really do think a lot of people are going to kick themselves when they realize what they are missing out on (like my son who has been too lazy to sign up) lol.
This is one of the reasons I didn't talk about Steemit much in the beginning. I felt like I didn't know enough or HAVE enough to validate the time given to the site.
