Esteem to Email Nodes

Email works, when the email is requested by the user. When you get an email from someone or something unknown, especially if it seems to be trying to sell something, it’ll make you think of spam.

Not necessarily. Spam filters are pretty intelligent nowadays. The mail that comes though those filters is usually worth checking out. Recently I got asked to write for a German computer science association. No thinking about “spam” was involved for me there.

@Elriel

Email works for providing information once you get someone interested. However, it’s not very effective in getting people interested. Might even have the opposite effect. It doesn’t really matter that the email has the name of someone you know, that might make it even more suspicious.

I don’t share you rather negative opinion on emails. I mean, what’s the alternative to it? Social media? There’s even more noise there. Phone texts perhaps? Old school snail mail? Face to face communication?

@Elriel

When you want to convince people into learning about your system you need to be able to get them interested (email fails at this) and then keep them interested (email could work for this). A well made movie will get people talking about it, so it kind of solves both points at once.

So, what about making a short movie that is linked in an email? I guess that increase the spam score, but it might also help people to get the point of QP. Perhaps the best would be to embed the video on a site or blog post.

If the purpose of the movie is to introduce the potential of this system, then it’d probably be a good idea to write so that in the beginning, the protagonist(s) have just barely heard of the system. Then the wave of adoption that’s happening suddenly brings the system all around them in what seems like no time at all. Perhaps make it so that initially, the new system brings a challenge to the protagonist. For example, the protagonist’s business starts faltering because he’s not on board. Then he learns about the system, starts using it and it’s kind of a story of how he explores the system and it’s benefits as well as it’s troubles.

I like that idea. It may actually need to be settled in the near future to work best. Just when there’s a huge spike in adoption of the system. But there’s also the long term perspective which I have been exploring a bit in my Netec 2045 scenario.
