Introduction To SteemSavvy - A Few Months Later :)

Greetings STEEM!

You may or may not have heard of this little project, as we have flown under the radar for the better part of 6 months...But its time to get serious and introduce SteemSavvy to the blockchain :)

SteemSavvy was created out of a need.

A need that caters to the technically challenged...Like myself ;)

We're big believers in STEEM! And when we first discovered it, it just made sense...A blockchain based social media platform that can do...Literally everything! It's going to change so many peoples lives but the problem is...

When it comes to blockchain, regular Joe's and Jill's feel they need a PHd in computer science before they can get their hands dirty.

So SteemSavvy was born....

The idea is simple:

https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/Qmc84RBoh2gJVf7pRwWmWNfyWgqo88hc7QmqHL8yKgaBMW

Create a drip fed educational platform that takes students on guided lessons through;

• Account set up
• Passwords, Account Keys
• Blockchain basics like the difference between Steem, Steem Power and SBD
• Discovering the amazing communities here on STEEM
• Learning about dApps (we cover 11 dApps currently with more training being added regularly)
• Tips and tricks to get new Steemians feeling comfortable about growing their STEEM account

And so much more...

Our mission is to bring more people into STEEM through strategic social media campaigns but more importantly, helping these new Steemians get a basic understanding....Before they get too confused and give up!

We have 4 modules with over 40 unique training videos....Each video is around 5-10 minutes in length, designed to keep the students attention and not put them to sleep while they learn. But the big benefit to SteemSavvy training is that lessons are 'drip fed'....Meaning, a student can't gt to lesson 2 until they complete lesson 1.

This again is done by design to not confuse new Steemians with information overload...Because trust me, as a tech-illiterate like myself, there is a LOT to learn about STEEM.

(The Savvy Cycle)

Throughout the training, we focus on 3 core aspects of the STEEM journey.

1. Adding value - in every step of the journey. We want SteemSavvy members to be valuable contributors to the blockchain. So we stress the importance of building relationships and adding value in all interactions with others.

2. Sharing STEEM - we want to become products of our product! So instead of sharing pictures on Instagram, we teach students to use Appics. Instead of posting to Medium, we teach them about Busy.org, etc....We believe in being raving fans for STEEM everywhere we go!

3. Powering Up - and finally, having skin in the game and showing people the potential of powering up! Through videos about delegation and community building. Account grow and more...Powering up is a big part of our training!

Badges!

Yes, we are big believers in gamification and digital rewards for our students. So throughout the training, we hide unique badges and rewards for people to discover.

In past experience online, we have used this same method in many business models and we know it works....

(An example of the @SteemMonsters badge students find in the dApps of STEEM module...)

Dozens of badges have been added with more on the way as well...

The SAVVY Token

In the future, SteemSavvy will be implementing it's own token via the Steem-Engine platform. We were the 7th token started on Steem Engine and have BIG BIG plans for this.

It's currently in development on the proper way to implement it but we want to reward students with no only digital reward badges...but also a real currency that they can earn and use!

Again, this is currently being developed and we are looking forward to seeing this take shape down the road.

But Wait...There's More...

And with all the training that takes place inside of SteemSavvy, we're added it's own affiliate program to it. While SteemSavvy itself is free to join, and use forever...Programs inside the platform have their own affiliate programs...

So you can currently build your affiliate team in:

• @SteemMonsters
• @Steem.Ninja
• @MagicDice
• @DrugWars
• @Partiko

And again, more programs will be added as well with training lessons to teach students all about the amazing dApps on STEEM!

So you can actually build all your affiliates using SteemSavvy as the hub and anyone you refer to Savvy, will go through the training and learn STEEM at their own pace...Which in our opinion, will generate very active and quality contributing members to the blockchain :)

And we're just getting started...

Even though SteemSavvy has been active for months and providing student with this training, it's never ending. We are always adding new training videos to the mix and working hard with our Discord community!

We continue to do our weekly Sunday Night training session, that we stream to Facebook to help bring attention to STEEM.

We also do a weekly Q & A session to help new Steemians reach 300 Steem Power (#RoadTo300SP) as quickly and effectively as possible!

So once again...

Hello STEEM :)

We've got so much planned for 2019 and are just getting started.
