Roseanne Barr follows me on Twitter.

Don't ask me why.

That's not the point.

The point is that I'm trying to recruit big names in social media to Steemit, and after what happened with David Seaman (LIVE!: I Just Talked David Seaman Into Posting On Steemit), I have now set my sights on Roseanne.

Here's how it played out

David Seaman tweeted this:

Which, as you can see, I retweeted.

Then I saw this in my notifications:

Interesting.

So, Roseanne saw my retweet of David's tweet about joining Steemit, and smashed that like button.

Now, I know Roseanne is a social media junkie -- in fact, she's considered a top political influencer on social media. So it would not be out of the question that she would be interested in an innovative new social media platform like Steemit.

So I took the opportunity to reach out:

We will see if I get any response from this. Maybe, maybe not. But it's worth a try in any case.

I will keep y'all updated on any progress of OPERATION RECRUITMENT: Roseanne

I don't think it's a bad idea to recruit notable members of other social media platforms (YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) to join Steemit.

With some notable figures posting original content here on Steemit, it will help not only to reduce the Steemit circle-jerk, but it'll also attract thousands of new users who will come here for the content being posted rather than the potential to earn money for shitposting.

Let's make a real project out of this. If you have a connection in some other social media, try some recruiting. Don't be spammy or pushy -- just lightly suggest. Maybe read some books on persuasion and influence to help you out with this.

And if you start a campaign, post it here on steemit so others can see it.

Use the tag

#operation-steemit-recruitment

I'll check that tag periodically and upvote and resteem the good ones.

Let's start a discussion about this and be active! Post below with your thoughts.
Thanks!
