Awesome work guys! The site looks great.
Just wanted to test out your guest accounts, but when I click on "Sign Up" in the comment section, nothing happens (I can see that a request is sent to your API though, but I don't get a confirmation email either).
Btw, what are your plans for marketing Steempress to bloggers? At TravelFeed we are currently reaching out to many travel bloggers personally to get them to try out TravelFeed. We should talk about a joint marketing campaign to get existing Wordpress travel bloggers to publish from Wordpress to TravelFeed using Steempress.
Thanks! Things are really starting to come together! :) And happy to hear that the site looks good!
It seems our Hivemind node had crashed :/, it is fixed now! Would love if you could help scrutinize the comment section and signup/login as ruthlessly as you want and share whatever issues you find, things that don't seem intuitive or looks good, or other suggestions for improvement.
We mentioned briefly in our road map and growth strategy post that we'll take a systematic approach to grow one subject / content-type at the time. Travel is indeed on the top of our list here since there're both so many good blogs out there and also a pretty good community for it here on Steem that they can connect to. Beyond our own direct approaches, I also want to involve community in a number of ways. 1. This referral program that allows anyone to try and reach bloggers directly in whichever way they see fit. We'll want to support this in any way we can by providing good marketing material and a place on our Discord for people to discuss and share experience from doing this. 2. I want to see the many curation projects we're supporting take on an outreach and multi-media strategy. So far, many seem to do the standard compilation posts of posts they've curated, without trying to make it SEO friendly, engaging or share it on other social media platforms. Would be cool if we could help these communities grow and attract more eyeballs to Steem through their content too.
Awesome! I'm all ears. Either poke me on Discord, or share whichever ideas you may have here so perhaps others can also learn from the examples. We all want projects to succeed at marketing Steem!
I read your roadmap; I have always believed that the only effective way of marketing Steem is not marketing Steem itself but platforms built on top of Steem. Out of all dApps, you have the best approach on this that I have seen so far; some of the ideas you mention have been on our radar as well, such as a post ranking based on multiple factors including curation project upvotes and SEO/views.
I sent you a long reply on Discord about a possible cooperation, hope it wasn't too overwhelming :D
