I have learned from hard experience not to put all my eggs in one Social Media basket
I'm a content creator and I came here for the Alexa ranking and to get my work seen. It's turns out to be that this is not easy.
Steemit has maybe 35K in active members – see the stats given out by 
My other platforms are where the people are. I’ve been building my brand for 7 years now and I have millions of good people I connect with all over the internet. I want to bring them here, but for now they are still there. Some of them will never be able to come here. And some of them could do really well. I can’t get them to steemit by dropping them now.
I have these connections:
FB
-1400 “friends”
-700 groups 11M reach in those groups
-20 pages I run on my various niche topics. I’m about to add another 20 pages because they work with very little effort once they are set up. Remember sheep are on fb and you can herd them with keywords like I do. See 
-50 steemit groups with good people in them who join me, make good content and upvote my posts
Twitter
-5500 real followers – no bots; no crap followers; good retweeters
-20 twitlists of different types of people I can engage with and get contacts
-14 on my steemit twitlist <<< Get on it!
I retweet good steemit posts and get a good response so far.
I coach twitter and y’all need help so hmu!
Pinterest
-11K followers
-400+ boards
-100+ secret boards I use for research
I barely understand Pinterest but I have a lot of connections there and drive traffic. I also use Pinterest for research and would be lost without it. I pin what I can for steemit – not quite on it yet.
Art Sites
Fine Art America Pixels
Behance
-1500 photos in total - most on Behance in projects.
FAA Pixels is where I sell wall art, fashion and home products with my photos on them. Behance is where I tell stories with my photos and drive affiliate sales. I’m very unsuccessful in selling but very successful in engaged views. I have a lot of my story in both places. Not dropping them.
I’m posting my faa art in color challenges and other group tags here at steemit. Here is my most recent.
I’m posting steemit posts to my art blog on FAA. I think I can get other artists over here but it will take time.
I have other steeemit ideas for my art sites I'm thinking about.
You Tube
That's my You Tube channel when I was working it in Spring of 2017. some other stuff got in the way but I still reap benefits from my changes.
I have a big roaring mess of content over at You Tube and it drives traffic. I do not have ads over there but I get good results. I should branch out to other platforms for uploading video but so far You Tube is it.
I coach You Tube and help people a lot who have better videos than me by far. Those people like me and share my work since I share theirs :)
If you have a video on your good steemit post, I will probably go over and watch it and like it and sub you. So get on it and sub me back for goodness sake!!
Simbi
Simbi barter platform gets things done for me. I’ve done 70+ deals in 2017 for all kinds of help given and received for free. I think The Simbians will come here and do well as they find out about it. I have a great presence there and I'm looking forward to tapping it.
Here are some barter ideas for you Steemers that I like to use:
GET HELP
Proofreading
Write a long post. Send it to 3 simbi proofreaders and see what I get back.
Formatting
Send the post above to be formated
Graphics creation
Get the art done for 3-5 titles at a time. Provide photos (or background request) and text.
OFFER HELP
Make up 4 small things you can do in 30 minutes or less and offer them a few times a month. My coaching has improved significantly by this action.
If you join simbi with my link I send you a very detailed email of how to get started and I will help you more than that if you need it.
LinkedIn
LinkedIn is my longest running and least successful platform. I don't even know what I have over there - maybe 400 connections who rarely speak.
My resume has been on LinkedIn for hundreds of years and will not be moving away unless they close down – also – slideshare and pulse are good places to post and are part of LinkedIn now. SE Asia uses LinkedIn more that the states. I’m stuck there even though I hate the place.
My personal blog at fitinfun.com
It’s a tragedy, but it’s me and I’m keeping it for now. Check out my sitemap for the million things I write about. It’s my 3rd long time blog and the other two are killed off now.

I’m working to join steemgigs and also this cool steemit education project as a teacher
Here is my first Steemgigs post
Please check it out and critique!
Note that my sp is higher than most new people who do not invest money. This is entirely due to my many comments. I get sp for those daily as people upvote my fantastic thoughts.
Now it's your turn!

Nothing at fitinfun would be possible if I still weighed 275 pounds. If I can lose weight and get healthy, anyone can. Let me help you at fitinfun
All the photos are mine because no one else would take them :)
