#### This afternoon I helped @cryptojelly get set up on steemit.<br>

#### @cryptojelly is the fourth person I have got on board steemit this year.<br>

#### Getting new people on to the platform is vital if we want steemit to reach critical mass and really stake its claim in the social landscape of the internet.<br><br>

I have seen amazing work being done around the world by people recruiting new steemians.

In her radio show this afternoon @beanz mentioned @ahmedyusuf who is helping people in large numbers in Aceh in  Indonesia get on board steemit. 

In the Philippines @steemph.cebu and steemit members like @jassennessaja are growing numbers every day.

Projects like @stach and steemians like @ejemai and @greatness96 are doing great works in Nigeria bringing new people on to the platform.

@reko is signing up a whole bunch of people in Sweden with his Word-of-Mouth Promo campaign.

At the higher level the #promo-steem campaign led by @stephenkendal, @starkerz and @anarcotech is now moving into top gear with the launch of the new website and the @steem-ambassador program.

In my little corner of Britain I have arranged [the first Wales steemit meetup on 10 February](https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@pennsif/steemit-in-wales-heading-for-100-growth-first-meetup-on-10-february). As part of that I have set a target of a 100% increase in the number of active steemians in Wales from 15 to 30 by 31 March.

I am wondering though if I should set myself a more challenging target.  We have already recruited a third of our Wales target of 15 for the first quarter and it is only 8 January.

For me that has been one new steemian every two days. I am not sure I can sustain that throughout the year - but how about one every three days or so...?

So this is my challenge, and this is my **pledge** to the steemit community :

#### I will do my very best to sign up 100 new people to stemmit by the end of 2018.<br><br>

Anyone else fancy picking up the challenge with me?

Imagine if 1000 people (that is one in every 50 active steemians) around the world joined the #signup100 challenge?

That would be another 100,000 new steemians - almost a 20% increase on the current account numbers.
