We should all be promoting steem as it has the potential to be a facebook and twitter rival, if not a killer, as you said it is a revolutionary platform. And much more fun to boot. That feeling when you push that post button and wondering if a whale is going to come along and release the full power of his vote on you, it is exhilarating.

However I think for me, as a minnow, this was the most important part of this post.

New authors should probably stick to short posts requiring small amount of work and which are fun and witty.

I was spending hours writing my content only for it to be overlooked because I haven't put the ground work in and developed a following. It is pretty disheartening.

So thanks to people like yourself and Hive account@stackin, who have far more knowledge than me in marketing yourself, I am changing my game plan, and going to concentrate on making a name for myself.

Steem on my friend. Upvoted and followed.
