Summary of the half-year survey - "How did you come across blurt?"

It's been about half a year since the survey was posted. During this time, 143 people have cast their votes and wanted to answer the question of how they found the blurt network and came to us.

This may not be an impressive number of respondents, but the respondents themselves honored us with considerable effusiveness. Almost every respondent did not limit themselves to leaving a comment with a number, but also added something from themselves.

Below I have prepared graphs summarizing the data from the survey:

The result so far is also not surprising. As one might expect, the vast majority came to blurt from hive or steem. Interestingly, only 7.88% (13 people) indicated the downvote as a direct cause, however, from the statements one could conclude that it was a much more significant factor in the matter of making a decision under point 7. Either way, it is not surprising. Because people who were already familiar with this type of blockchain were able to easily move here and also knew what they were dealing with and what benefits it brought. After all, the decision to start using hive or steem at the very beginning resulted from the fact that this "product" meets their needs in some way ;)

The second main way that users reach us is through recommendation. As you can see, word of mouth is the most effective method of promotion. It is therefore worth stopping at this point for a while and thinking about this fact.

Since the main source of new users who have never had contact with this type of network before is word of mouth, it is reasonable for us to develop various programs encouraging users to invite their friends. Bloggers themselves should also care about this. The more people they invite to our platform, the more followers, comments and likes they will receive for their blog entries, which in turn will make them earn more. Even new users gain a certain amount of BP very quickly, which allows them to reward users.

It is therefore important to realize how important it is to talk about our network in your environment. Remember that everyone is on Facebook because everyone is on Facebook, not because Facebook is the best choice, but because that is where you can reach the largest number of people. If we want this to change and for blurt to meet our reach needs, we need to convince users that it is worth trying to be here.

Other reasons that could be classified as our discoverability on the network, i.e. all sources from permlinks, discoverability in Google or through exchanges, together collected 26.06%. So there is also something to do in this field.

Personally, I think that for blurt to be successful, position 3 should be the first position 2 second and position first, third. So there is something to work on.

Apart from the result itself, the survey also had a positive side effect that I did not expect at the beginning and which is also very important. Well, it allowed different people from blurt to get to know each other and showed which users are actually active members of the community.

Because the post was available to everyone and pinned, everyone could see the comments of others and thus find their blog and also get to know a little. So a second introduceyourself was created.

And here's a question for you: do you want me to leave this survey for another six months or do you think it's worth ending it at this stage?

I encourage everyone who took part in the survey to read the results:
