Though an easy thought, it's not so easy to put in writing.
What can you do to promote Steemit?
Whatever you can.
If you're an artist, draw #steemjet if a musician, sing #openmic if a comedian, crack my ribs, make us laugh periodically #comedyopenmic and if a photographer take some shots and post it up #steepshots
Basically, Fuse good content of your practise, hubby... i mean hobby and regular activities and post it, let the world marvel at the talent Steemit contains.
Admist all, I believe good content is the best promotion steemit needs.
But enough about you, this is about me
Alright, How will i promote steemit?
Being a True steemian:
You can't promote something you are not a part of, or better put, devoted to. Before one can promote steemit he/she has to understand the reason and framework behind steemit.
If you're not true to the cause, you probably won't succeed in swaying anyone to join in. However in my case, I am like the tyre of the steemit vehicle, all support.
Develop Steemit
Kudos to #busy #esteem #steemnow #steemchat etc, they are efforts made by fellow steemians to fill up some vacant attributes of steemit.
I am not a professional programmer and so may not be able to build a website on the blockchain, but I sure can use one. Those platforms were developed for steemians, regularly using them can go along way to build and promote steemit.
Tell Someone
This doesn't require practise, but requires skill. It's not just about telling anyone, it's about telling the right persons.
Here in Nigeria, you can't promote steemit to a bricklayer or handyman who hasn't eaten since day break. If you're not careful, you might be his breakfast,lunch and dinner, all in one. Boy... will I hate to be you.
Light the flame to those who can carry the touch, and not those who'll remain in rep 25 till thy kingdom come.
Share Steemit Online
Don't just talk, act also.
Share links to great write ups, educational post, comedies. Chat with friends about steemit
"Hey, onyima where have you been, haven't been seeing you online regularly"
"Yea.. I've been online, just a different line #steemit it's the new best thing. Here's a link to a post on steemit, with regards to that scientific process steps you asked of #steemstem."
"Wow.. It was helpful, it had all I was looking for"
"That's how we are on steemit, you should become member #steemit/register and earn some extra cash in process"
Genuine content:
Talked about these a bit in the Initial, however it's importance cannot be overemphasised.
Posting genuine and valuable contents on steemit is the most important way to promote it, so I'll do my part and keep writing values, do yours.
Diversify The Recognition Pattern
Another noteworthy point is Diversifying the trend pattern.
Basically steemit is controlled by the whales, they can make or mar your efforts.
Their upvotes could make a post and its tags trend
Hence the rise and fall of tags are influenced by Whales, whereby to supposedly make the most profit we tend to write on what they like rather than what we want.
If it were possible for trends and values to be independent of Whales, am sure to have bloggers of all possible tags here.
Nonetheless that's blockchain for you, Decentralized.
Last but not least
Never quit on steemit
Never give up, It doesn't matter the rate of upvote or the current value of steem, keep doing the good work.
It's always slow at the beginning, and even when it picks up, it might still slow down sometime in the future,
Hence the word devotion as stated above. Steemit has a lot to offer, all it needs is steemian like you and I to help out.
If you were expecting me to say things like Campaigns, Posters, radio talk and adverts, then I'm sorry to disappoint.
No one ran down the streets shouting facebook or twitter, their quality alone was all the promo needed.
But we've got better, cause we are pacesetters, The first decentralized blogging platforms with payouts founded on the blockchain
This are ways I will promote steemit.
