I am just about to do this with my website and YouTube channel (https://www.epicgardening.com and https://www.youtube.com/c/epicgardening). The tricky part for me is that my audience is somewhat older. Only the hydroponics folks are younger and might take to this idea.
Have you seen any great examples of introducing an audience to Steemit? You kind of only get one shot at it and I don't want to mess it up when I make the play. I have a LOT of traffic on those two properties and I want to grow Steemit as much as possible, so I don't want to @#$% up.

I'd suggest explaining to them the basics of Steem and why it's so revolutionary. They will of course have a lot to earn but joining is the first step, and of course also mention that it can take some time to get approved for an account so they don't get disappointed quickly and lose interest. :)
Doing this over the next week or two! Easing them in :)
