I heard about Steemit from a friend with whom I do a live YouTube show every Saturday. He was very excited about it and encouraged me to join and start posting. He even helped me do my first post. I have spoken to many people about Steemit, but so far only a couple have shown any interest, and so far no one has signed up. Not sure that helps, other than to let you know that you are not alone out here. Lots of us are trying but not succeeding so far. Just gotta keep trying. In Sales you expect 100 no's for each yes!
