I've seen a lot - a LOT - of posts. I've been on Scorum every day for the last year or so. Since the very beginning, when there was probably under 10 good writers here. Given Scorum is my goto Chrome tab, it's also the first thing I check in the morning. I come here because I like to encourage great authors and, with time, I grew to enjoy the platform itself with all the nice guys here.

Community

This is the keyword that keeps me here. I like the solidarity of the people in here. Minor issues aside, I like to think Scorum is in a really good place right now. We mostly want the platform to succeed, and whether it's the betting side or the blogging side you chose is not really the question. I do believe we have everything but lack patience. And while I talk about patience, let's also talk about marketing.

Marketing

The blog aspect of Scorum is very important for one main reason. It's an awesome source of link referrals. You guys really need to try it to believe it. We type a lot of words and each of these words become a source of free Google marketing for us. You are right, people won't give you money for your posts after 7 days, but people might come to the platform because of that same post. And that, if you're here for the long term, is exciting news, because if these guys register... well chances are they will vote your next post, right? I think so too.

Commit

I just added 2.5K SCR to my account. This isn't much, but I just made the SCR price jump a bit on Hotbit. And just because I bought, the activity on the exchange went nuts. I think if each of us bought 20 SCR it could be pretty good marketing for the platform itself. People LOVE seeing green on a coin. I've read recently that a coin doing good is the best form of marketing for a blockchain right now. There might be some truth to this.

Now

So here we are. We have a pretty cool website. Some great authors. What I feel we lack is more involvement. Get out there and scream Scorum. Talk to your people about it. If you have any kind of online visibility, put an icon somewhere. Don't talk about blockchain, it's boring. Talk about sport, betting, engagement, looOOove. DO. IT. And I'm totally wearing my pink glasses but I like being here so I'll leave you with this

Content is King but engagement is Queen

So let's stop trying and start doing. 🍻
