@actifit Helping With The Onboarding ProcesssteemCreated with Sketch.

It is no secret that Steem has an issue getting people signed up. We only need to read @penguinpablo's daily report to realize that. If memory serves me, there are less than 500 people approved each day.

Of course, the number of people approved means little if they who get accounts do not participate. Steem needs active users who are ready to help make this place grow.

Personally, I always felt the applications were a great place to help with this. Word-of-mouth is the best marketing and people who know others who use an application are more than likely to get active themselves upon approval.

Last week, I wrote about the @plankton.token initiative. This is a couple of smaller accounts who got together in an effort to help promote and support Planktons. It is another one of those ideas that holds merit with me since I believe smaller accounts recommending each other is of great help.

After I made that post, @actifit stepped up to the plate to help this endeavor. The team there, led by @mcfarhat (a truly dedicated Steemian), put up 100 accounts along with a delegation of 10 SP for a period of 90 days. This will provide the newer users with the Resource Credits to be able to operate on the blockchain. Hopefully, these new users will reward Actifit by using that application.

One thing I will interject here, I think it is a great idea for those who are new to use Actifit. Along with being designed to promote health, the application pays in AFIT for levels of activity over 5,000 steps (this is daily). On top of that, the main account does upvote posts made by the users who achieve that level. Under this program, I surmise that one using the application will be able to earn more than the 10 SP delegated in the 3 months. This means that, once the delegation is removed, the individual can keep participating.

While 100 users is nothing to write home about, when we look at the number of daily users of most applications, a jump of 100 is significant.

My hope is the @plankton.token and @actifit union gets people to sign up who are truly active. We could use 100 more dedicated Steemians.

Here are a couple of announcements:

If you are a smaller account and do know of some people who feel would be of benefit to this ecosystem, contact @cadawg or @mermaidvampire to get them signed up.

Growth is something that we all know is important. Having hundreds of thousands of accounts is of little value if those people are not active. True growth is only going to happen by having people who get involved and remain committed.

A project like this can be a good starting point. Hopefully we see a few dozen more start just like it.

The process must improve and supported as it feels that the onboarding is still somewhat stagnant. However, I am encouraged with the multiple communities looking to change this like @steemsavvy and @steemonboarding!
