Gearing Up to Promote STEEM in the Dominican Republic
Tomorrow I fly out to the Dominican Republic where I will be spending a long weekend on the beach with some funky music and awesome people. This will be my second time visiting the Dominican Republic and I can't wait to get back. It's a beautiful country, but unfortunately many people are living in poverty. It was a bit sad seeing the living conditions of some of the locals, especially considering I was there to attend a lavish, all-inclusive festival at a top-notch resort.
Attending @steemfest filled me with loads of inspiration. From @surfermarly's talk about her @dreamsoftheocean project, to @sterlinluxan's talk about breaking free from the 9-5 work grind, I definitely left Lisbon with the urge to live a more fulfilling life. One of the best talks of the week was given by @starkerz on the first day of conferences. He gave a speech about his #promo-steem project. This is a grassroots marketing campaign run by the STEEM community aimed at introducing others to this amazing platform. On-boarding users benefits everyone on the STEEM network and gives a great opportunity to the newcomers as well!

The Plan...
I will be promoting STEEM in the Dominican Republic over the weekend while I attend the Dominican Holidaze Music Festival.
I used this handy template created by @steempowerpics to print a whole bunch of personalized STEEM business cards: @steempowerpics/free-steemit-promotional-business-cards-download-print-share-100-free
I printed over 100 of these cards and I intend to hand them out to people over the course of the festival. My primary target will be the festival employees and the locals. From my experience attending this festival last year, the workers arrive by bus each day and cater to the resort-goers. They remain in high spirits and happy despite going home to a life of poverty at the end of each day. As long as they have access to internet, STEEM can provide them with an awesome alternative source of income. I am very excited to introduce the locals to the wonderful world of STEEM.
It was a whole bunch of cutting and taping...
I finished with a stack of freshly printed, homemade business cards... It took a bit of work but I think I got a solid technique down for future batches. Now I'm ready to conquer the D.R!
Punta Cana, Here I Come!
Are you ready to get STEEMy?
