HOWEVER, this is dependant on ONE THING..............MARKETING..!! Regular Readers of my Blog will know that recently I have increased the #promo-uk budget from £1,200 to a £12,000 annual rolling budget and this is money that is coming straight out of my own pocket. As the #promo-uk Crowdsourced Marketing and Promotions Initiative gets underway, it will only be successful with the full support of the Community. Increasing the budget to £12,000 may sound like a lot of money to some, but in the overall scheme of things, it is pocket change. Crowdsourcing the Marketing & Promotion of STEEMIT and the STEEM ECOSYSTEM is a stroke of genius and is something I have been banging on about for a few months now. Taking any product to market is all about timing and I strongly believe that this time is NOW..!! Our window of opportunity opened around April and this window will not be open indefinitely. Anyone who thinks that it will be ok to be sat here at the end of 2018 and looking at <1m Users are sadly mistaken. The momentum has begun and it is our job as a Collective Community to keep this momentum going. It is up to each and every one of us to support the Marketing and Promotion of STEEMIT and I fear that without this collective spirit of support it will do nothing more but drift. Marketing and Promotion is all about taking your Product to the Market today, go back tomorrow, and repeat it for the lifetime of your Product. Anyone who thinks that Marketing and Promoting a Product is a "ONE HIT" process will be sadly disappointed. Take Coca Cola for instance. It was created in 1892 and still after 125 years later they are still out on the streets handing out free Coca Cola to keep their market alive. As we Market and Promote STEEMIT we should all embrace this part of the life-cycle process of STEEMIT with open arms, as without this crucial and critical part of the process my fear is that it will simply drift along. So is 650,000 Accounts achievable by the End of the Year? Yes, but only with a SUCCESSFUL Marketing and Promotions Campaign. Thanks again for reading. Stephen
