TO BOOST OR NOT TO BOAST THAT IS THE QUESTION (8 min read)
Coil is an amazing platform it has giving me my voice. A voice that I’ve never had being that I’m a stutter and shy. Until you get to know me and realize I’m not shy, I just don’t like talking unless I have something to say. I can never express into words what Coil has given me. I am eternally grateful to them, I’m expecting great things from this little beta Coil. The future is brite 😎 There is kind of an elephant in the room, so let’s talk about the boost a bit
When I first started to write it was because I wanted to. I’ve never been a good writer at all. But I thought why not? And I found a very welcoming Coil community to my writing. It was, and still is a shock to my soul, it warmed my heart and still does how everyone is so helpful. I was reading everyone’s Coil posts for months before I started to write. I’d read and upvote daily and I really enjoyed myself in doing so. Then one night I decided to write, I decided to write because I wanted to. I never heard of the boost program until someone brought it to my attention and said I should apply, my initial thought was ya right? I’ll never get picked But then a miracle happened and I was. I’m very grateful to Coil for boosting me.
The boost program is a about a year old now, check out the post from Coil on June 14 2019👇🏻

In my own opinion Coil needs natural growth, it doesn’t need artificial growth or influenced growth. Natural growth will stand the test of time, influenced growth will most likely stop when the influence is taken away. Influenced growth is great but needs to be taken over by another influence to keep the growth.
For example – if I found a 100 people and told them to leave there current employer, come work for me and sell news papers and I’ll pay them $100 an hour do so. How many would leave and come to me ? I have a great company, support is awesome from all the other people, friendly place, truly an awesome place to work. Probably pretty close to 100 People but, we will say 90 will come to my company for 10% are really loyal to the previous company .... 2 years goes by and I tell them sorry can’t pay you $100 an hour any more. But here’s $3 an hour. Still an amazing place to work awesome people ect but How many will leave once their pay is cut to almost nothing? I think you and I both know the answer.. probably close to all the people. Again some loyal people will stay.
Coil has so much more to offer than a boost. That’s all I’m saying. If people come to Coil for the boost, what’s going to happen when/if the boost is gone. It is supposed to be temporary to attract new premium content. So if the boost goes away what will happen ? People who came for the boost will most likely leave.
I will still be here ? Will you ?
Coil is a baby in its beginning of life, Coil is still crawling and not talking. Very soon this baby Coil will be a toddler and running around while talking up a storm. I get that we are in the baby step mode of discovery, big things will be coming for Coil and I expect great success for them and all of us
