This is exactly what #wangchange was made for...

if you instead focus on what you can do for others you're video will reach more ears.
The truth is, no one wants to know how buying your services helps you.
Everyone wants to know how they can be helped.
This is very true.. the fact is I'm helping others on here in so many different ways already... this comment is not a "sales" pitch to anyone on this post. It's my reply to @dwinblood saying, thanks for bringing this up.. I'm already a few steps ahead of ya... working on getting the word out
Yeah, that is the idea but it isn't newbie friendly for getting new people here. It is useful if I want to make up a video and tell you what I want the video to be.
I think we need some very basic advertisements out there that inject the idea of the STEEM BLOCKCHAIN, not bitshares, steem power, etc into daily thought as a solution.
That is the baby steps...
Once they are involved with the steem blockchain then learning about steem power, steem, steem backed dollars, bitshares, wangchange, etc all are something ready to be received.
We need to get them to that point.
Yet I do see that your WANG CHANGE could be used by people like me now, if I want to contract with you to make me a video. This is useful for if I want a specific advertisement, and it is useful for if I want a video to accompany a blog post idea. There is value in that.
My post was more because I believe you as an individual likely have an idea of the advertisements I am speaking about without me needing to write them. If all of us work towards bringing people from outside to steemit, busy, and/or the blockchain we will grow the platform for all of us.
So we need to apply the concepts of what the steem blockchain could be used for NOW to solve problems people are talking about out there.
For example: Infowars could likely use the steemit blockchain itself with a front end website that only shows posts from their own authors on the steem blockchain, but still had comments, etc. They could be getting paid in crypto, their customers could be getting paid in crypto, and that would make the platform explode.
There is very little reason something like infowars couldn't be moved onto the steem blockchain, decentralized, and made censorship free.
The store for buying things and such, that stuff could still be off the blockchain, or it could potentially be merged with it allowing purchase of goods in crypto currency as well.
Anyway, it is mostly me brainstorming and hoping to inspire people like you that I know have this skill set already...
I may need to check out wangchange. I had some bitshares months ago, and I actually lost a chunk of them trying to move them between exchanges. It wasn't a huge amount.... 4000 bitshares or something like that. I haven't messed with it since then.
Yes bitshares and wangchange token is a bit complex but the idea itself was created to do just as your proposal request.. including promoting steemit to the outsiders. It's the advanced users who I'm looking to get in on investing.. it's the newbs and everyone else we want to bring to the platform that I'm looking to reel in
Comparatively in $ how much are WANGCHANGE? I'm not exactly a wealthy person. :) I did watch the video that said the more you buy the less they cost, but what might that amount be like in terms of USD? Might help me and might help people that have spare money to spend.
I have time, but money is in short supply. So I'd likely end up making a video myself but VERY slowly and not as good due to my state of finances.
Before you look at the price of the token.. i want to remind you that I'm looking to promote the platform, grow my fanbase not only as mrwang but as my professional entertainer name brand as well. yes, if you own a token.. you have access to my services but you don't need a token to be able to work with me.. i think there's a misunderstanding about that idea. I'll dive deeper into explanation in a follow up comment.. think I'm losing track of my point cause I'm on mobile phone and at my sons baseball practice.. sorry guys
$230/token
Not to mention.. @virtualgrowth will be offering wangcents which allows for smaller fractions of wangchange for smaller investments.. he'll full you in more very soon.. so be on look out for that post and information
For professional services those are not unreasonable if I needed you to work on a project I intended to benefit from. In this case I don't care if I am the person posting the ads or not. I just think the platform needs them. I will up vote and resteem such ads.
I can help come up with ads and such if you need ideas and I will contribute that way.
So I will wait for your other post.
As even though that price is reasonable for what you do, it is not something I would likely do anytime in the near future. I pay my bills with my day job. I use the little I make from steemit to pay for a game subscription, or a new game, buy a hamburger, order a computer part, order a book, etc. If I did none of those things at my current rate it would take me a little over a month to get that much. Like I said, I also know that is a reasonable price. If it were my product, and I was marketing it and I was going to see a significant ROI I would do it without hesitation.
The other way I could do that is to power down and give up about a 6th of my steem power. I have never powered down since I joined steemit, and have no intentions of doing so.
So depending upon what your other reply says that is my PERSONAL situation. I do not propose any of this for my personal benefit though indirectly hopefully ALL of us on the platform would benefit.
So I'll help anyone with whatever skills I have towards this end. If people don't do it I'd likely end up breaking down and making my own which would take me some time, but it wouldn't take me a month an a half, and I'd still have a little funds for the few discretionary things I do. :)
Though if the platform does take off and steem increases in value quite a bit, I might be able to do that amount with no problems. :)
Again, I get the price. It is reasonable for professional services.
My company bills me out at $150/hr when a client needs me to fix their network. :) Sadly, I don't get to pocket any of that. Just my salary.
Naw your good.. I only responded to say.. I'm right there with you and trying to make it happen with wangchange.. purchasing a token only helps speed up the process. I'm going to promote steemit regardless
I think what he is saying is that he would gladly do the work of making these videos for the community in return for his tokens. Is this correct @mrwang?
