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.

its not too slow - a friend of mine just joined up for free and he got access and passwords within 24 hours!! Go STEEMIT!!!
Sometimes it’s reasonably quick. But other times not.

For real? lol
Your friend was in luck man, most of the time it's too slow, in fact, I got my account after 8 days. The account creation time limit should be decreased to a maximum of 72 hours.
Yeah the queue has not been long lately, but a newcomer joining made me aware that the email still warns that it could take up to 2 weeks which is probably outdated.
This was an excellent idea, when we tried and started this ... 3 years ago ...
Then Steemit Inc (ned) supported a few people with vague promises of some form of trickle down effect. All those sponsored people have left STEEM since.
I've seen a bit of negativity from some of the older Steemians and I don't know what sort of promises they were made, but I'm happy earning between $1-10 for posts and seeing amazing functionality like SteemPeak, Partiko, Steem Engine, Steem Keychain, Nitrous, MIRA, Hivemind, Steem Monsters, Next Colony etc etc.
I see that distribution of Steem is gradually becoming less concentrated and my share is increasing.
Maybe Ned promised too much.
But I'm pretty impressed with what so many groups are achieving, includng Steemit Inc under Eli's direction. What they've achieved since the reorg and cutbacks is nothing short of amazing.
I am glad there are some newer Steemians like yourself, who are still enthusiastic about Steem.
( I am also glad that you are able to grow your stake in times of linear rewards and bid bots )
I have burned through most of my excitement and just could not help but leave this bitter comment.
It’s understandable... it has been hard to watch such amazing potential squandered... but, this reboot has some teeth, and I like the people involved. If only they can get enough autonomy to make this a success.
Self-voters who use their alternative accounts to upvote every comment they publish are the reason some of them grow their stake. New users who come and see this are quickly driven away. But hey, Steem taught me that money is first priority and community is worth nothing if you don't monetize it in sneaky ways.
I agree with you. I think that Weku can do it better. No bots are alowed there. But it just beggining. We will see.
Bots are fine and inevitable.
Bid-bots I don't like.
Wait, have the bid bots left?
Steemit was an amazing decentralized platform for bots for a while there.
I would say that you are an exception. My earn and that of many other users has only decreased despite the fact that we upload quality content. There is no real concern on the part of the whales to reward the quality of what is uploaded, but only motivates them to seek to add many users. So much so that the whales that are dedicated to the curation follow policies such as the distribution of votes depending on the delegation received, cure every five days to users who request it, etc. And all that in an increasingly automated way. The search for quality content, if at any time existed in these groups, no longer exists.
we all have to make some efforts to do this in this competition the winner will get some steem from my side also. I would like to invite you all on my blog

Thanks for the excitement around the contest! I found @sallybeth23's response below to be super interesting and i'm so glad to hear they had a friend get a Steemit account in 24 hours!
Some people I've brought onboard got their account in 24 hours but others it took weeks and they forgot about it.
some people i brought, didn't get accounts at all..
En mi caso obtuve el acceso en menos de 24 horas, no se si deba al país donde vivo.
sometimes steem response actively because i register @angelo.amor to have his own account and it take 1 business day.
You r right it's very good idea !!!
