✴️ WHY WE MUST START PROMOTING STEEM TO THE MASSES! IT'S OUR DUTY!

Marketing is a concept or action designed to bring people into something ~ Charles Fuchs.

What's Up STACKERS!


As a member of the the Steem community, it's our job to get the message out to the world. Marketing is one of the most important aspect of making it grow... without it, no one will know about it and eventually die a slow death. 😳

If you guys have been following me for a while, you may know that I love promoting the Steem blockchain to my followers on Social Media. 💁🏼‍♂️

It seems to me that there are lots of people here on Steemit that don't do that and it makes me wonder why? 🤷🏼‍♂️

There are so many people saying they are leaving Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and Snapchat for Steemit, this doesn't make sense to me. 

There are Billions of people on those platforms currently, why not leverage your followings into something great like Steemit or D.Tube.

I've been promoting my ass off 🤣 the last 6 months about Steemit and brought in hundreds or even thousands of people to this platform just talking about it on other Social Media sites since I joined.

What this does, it creates momentum and everyone starts talking about it... Just check out what happen to Cardano, Verge, and Tron just to name a few. How the heck did they all climb to the top 20 of Crypto's of all time in like one month!! They don't even have a working product!

They were pumped massively on Youtuber by influencers. Then something else happened, every damn comment area of all the Crypto Channels, people were shouting out hundreds of messages to talk about Cardano, Verge, and Tron... I still see it this day, it's pretty crazy. 

For example, did you see the massive "Crypto" pumps John Mcafee did on his twitter account last month. He practically single handly pumped up a company named Verge to the top 20 on Coinmarketcap single handily. 

There is nothing special about the Verge company and just within a few weeks, it was comparable to Dash and Monero who's been around for years! 😳

I don't want to beat a dead horse over and over again but if we want mass adoption and become this so called great "Social Media" platform, we as a community must start getting the message out. I can't do it alone but if just thousands of us start doing that, Steem is going to be talked about everywhere.

... and another note, when you start marketing Steem and they decided to join... guess what happens? They will look up to you and become your greatest fans... which means, tons of upvotes. 🤑

Alright guys, I'm done. I've been writing longs posts lately and I know time is short for all of us and I do appreciate you guys for taking the time to stop by reading some of my ideas and opinions.  

The markets are so RED today that I almost didn't even want to do a post because I was looking for some great deals to Stack up on. 😬

Keep On STACKIN! 💞

@stackin I Love the Attitude of Promoting STEEMIT as much as Possible Especially Right now. We will have such a Great Bounce coming from all this craziness happening right now. Tomorrow will be a NEW DAY and Positive for All !!!

That is when you go 10X harder as many lost hope and are panicking :)

This is such wonderful information. I cant wait for the next few years with steem, its going to be so rewarding.

I've started to cover it on my podcast in my YouTube channel already! Any tips on how to introduce people who are completely unfamiliar with it?

That’s what I’m talking about! There lots of people doing videos about Steemit recently, just tell people to follow you on it and why it’s awesome 😀

Big time yes!! Looks like I found my allies :)

Marketing is one of the most important aspect of making it grow... without it, no one will know about it and eventually die a slow death

That is why we in uganda have desided that the most important thing is to promo-steemit in uganda

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!

Thanks for that compliment

@rewardpoolrape high five bro. Im new and i will not forget your kindness :)

Stackin I'm trying hard man. Steemit is a hidden gem that is going to be popular in the near future. Thanks for the motivation. It comes down to consistency and building up that community. I've been shouting from the rooftops trying to get everyone I know to ditch their platforms and come join our community. Soon they all will! What's your recommendation for helping onboard them easily?

Make it simple as possible, you just tell them sign up haha

I've got friends waiting who never receive the account activation e-mail. Seems like there's a massive backlog for new accounts

It did take my account two weeks but i also have some people that are either missing the pin for the mobile verification so many some people are over looking that but my account yeah took a while

thats one way @stackin it worked 8 times for me today :)

You are right, if we all together take on the promotion of the Steemit more massively and make efforts in other social networks, then success is guaranteed to us! Thank you @stackin

We have so many people here, it just seems that the “old school” people here just talk with each other in the community and don’t like new people coming on board lol

There are few Youtubers that are doing a pretty good job at promoting this site like Vincent Briatore, Doug Polk Crypto, etc.

I joined this site like a week ago, and they were the main reason I joined this site, alongside with my brother who's been a member here for a month.

You just read my mind, been following Vincent and Doug for a while, they have huge followings on youtube. This is just the beginning, I see tons of youtubers with huge followings are marketing Steem and D.tube heavily. :)

Wow! That Twitter shot was impressive... I participated in a Twitter thunderclap for Steemit recently. Seems like a brilliant idea to try again soon. I’m also sharing my posts there as well to get the Steemit name in front of more eyes.

I also did, got tons of people to promote it at the same time, great idea!

I agree and I have told my family about it. That being said I dont really want to promote something until I have a solid base and know what I am doing and/ or doing wrong. Then I will pro ote may ass off to my 1,500 + friends on facebook. But at this point they would come in look at my account and wallet and they would probrbly say, your not doing so well or something like that. Lol

It’s still better what they are doing now haha

as the mr Branson says you find an opportunity that you like but don't fully understand just run with it and work it out as you go along. What I see here is lions. We focus on sharing value and giving out an opportunity for other people to grow an audience in their niche and the rewards will come. You wont be an apprentice for much longer, stand up and become a jedi! :)

Have you read any of my posts? I think one of the problems is that so many people that have been here forever are to busy promoting the channel. But not promoting the new minnows. The Apprenticegiligan is. Silver = Ag Gold=Au

well i can't comment on the past ive only been here for 3 weeks but all my team memebrs get one on ones with everything that I have discovered so far. I believe in giving people the right tools and education from day 1 so that they use them for a life time. Also my new team are getting email training which will be daily and before any one puts a blog up I do a tour share screen and through my discord channel they have a team that im coaching to look after people. My upvotes even though they do not carry much weight right now I focus on giving to the new people. The concept....We Climb When We Reach Out and Lift Others :) Im using a lot of past experience from other things that I have done and as a saxophone player musician and entertainer Im all about lifting people up :)

I totally agree with and I am always spreading the news about how awesome is Steem/Steemit! Maybe if we had Jeff (altcoin buzz) on our side, the price wil rise :))
cheers @stackin

I heard he is around here already, I think I seen him here... maybe it was a dream haha

Hi dear bro.I came from Myanmar.Please follow me.Nice to meet you!

If you hear something, please let me know

Great post today! This is the kind of stuff we need to be focused on... bringing in the new blood! If we follow your example there will be a day when Bitcoin and Crypto market downtrends will not effect Steem!

That right, lets get that new blood in :)

Blogging isn't everyone's cup of tea so we need to show them there are other things like dlive and dtube. Thats what I've been telling friends about but it does take them awhile to get used to the concept first and maybe join when they are ready.

That makes tons of sense, it took many years for me to convince people to sign up for facebook and Instagram lol

haha at least they signed up! so hopefully it will be the case for steemit :)

Very true most of them see it as a time waster, not considering the incomes.

I'm 7/7 today! These are the days I love Steemit. Keeps me from being distracted by the sales so I can wait and get those rock-bottom deals.

Might have more a down turn but thats fine, I'm HODL and accumulating :)

I'm very cheap so holding out for the black Friday deals.

This is exactly why we are crowdsourcing a free Musician's Guide to Steemit! I hope other people will also consider doing marketing projects to build the steem community to new heights.

It will only take a few us leaders to really launch it out to the masses, I'm seeing more and more youtubers talking about steemit and d.tube the last few weeks. Its a great sign :)

On it bro, You got my message right the saxophonist musician and social media marketer now creating and preparing the steemian troopers lets do this ! :)

I love spreading the word about Steemit to my 15,000 followers on Twitter. I have multiple social media accounts in which to share what's great about our platform.

So I have a challenge for you @stackin if we REALLY wanna drive the masses to Steemit somebody needs to get Oprah to sign up. My mother would walk through hot coals for her.

If anybody can do that @stackin it would be you! I believe in you Bro! Is everybody else with me? :) Landing Oprah? Now that would be one Whale of a catch! @evernoticethat


source

Such a BOSS! Lets all hit up Oprah on Twitter lol

I am on a mission to get as many people signed up so far I managed to get 2 people on steemit 🙌🏽

Every single person counts in my book :)

Yessir! Slowly but surely, I'm weening myself away from those social media platforms that do nothing for me at all. This is my chosen time waster and I'm proud of it LOL

Great stuff sir, let's keep people coming to Steemit! This market is going down and I'm just sitting around asking myself how can I add more value for my Steemit followers, create more content and generate more SP :)

That's how you do it, you just start creating that content regardless of the price :)

This week I'm doing a lot of infographics to answer new user questions, however I've been contacted by one of the #promo-steem guys, it'd be great to help with marketing visuals.

I seen some of your posts, there awesome. More people are visual so they will actually read it lol

#promo-steem im loving what those guys are doing. 3 of those guys live less than 50 miles away from me and im very excited about meeting up with them :)

You are right, steem might need a little bit more marketing.

Either way, I think it’s just a matter of time. I bet more and more influencers will end up joining steemit eventually

Yeah, I seen tons are coming in right now from Youtube... More The Better, World Domination lol

Yes yes yes, promoting STEEM Blockchain and attracting new users is something that everyone here should do - Because in the end of the day, when the value of STEEM goes up, we who hold STEEM benefit the most too!!

Yesterday recorded my first episode of a STEEM Podcast series, in which we explore about how has users benefited from the STEEM Blockchain + how are they benefiting other people using the same blockchain. By showing non-Steemians how life-changing the STEEM Blockchain is, hopefully we can convince new users to come onboard every episode!

We need more people to follow in your footsteps, spreading the message of the Steem Blockchain! Appreciate you @aaronmcheong!

Thank you @stackin! You've been a great guide for many Steemians including myself, and it's truly an honor to be promoting the STEEM Blockchain alongside amazing individuals like yourself!!

please send me a link to your podcast ! :)

I think this is important, I would like to make a campaign in my city to bring this to person and be in Steemit only that in my country the cryptocurrencies are prohibited since the government wants to have control over everything, but there is no law that prohibits them, It would be all different.

GREETINGS FROM VENEZUELA A HUG FOR YOU

I'm with you @stackin! Yes, we got to spread the word.

We have been officially branded the crazy Steemit Advocates who has been pushing people to ditch Facebook and Instagram and use Steemit and all its condensers.

Just to share how effective we have been from 10 active people in the group and we are nobody! Just word of mouth.

I am off to preach about dlive.io to Youtubers and Twitch gamers.

Mannnn, thats how you do it! Mad respect!

Good job! My motivation came from a negative. Second week in FB banned me from posting and all my fan pages locked away from the public. The ban is lifted tomorrow it made me hit back and I found it so easy to attract people on instagram and twitter, Steemian troopers are coming get excited!! :)

That is what I have adopted Thanks to your numerous post on this....I even powered up yesterday and I am learning video making now to use to promote steemit.....

That’s the stuff I like to see! Thanks for being an awesome Steemian!

The pleasure is mine sir....Since reading your posts I have upped my game X2 seehow it was.PNG
Now

and I have been stalking you all here to Facebook

hahaha, I love to associate with success,,,,

get screencast-o-matic a free laptop app yhat will give you up to 155 minutes recording time per video and you can screen share. it gives you the option of having your face on camera or hiding behind it your choice and there is an app for a mobile called AZ screen recorder which does the same on a smartphone. If you are serious about videos which it sounds like you are come and ask me for a free youtube ranking video. i used the training from this to rank two steemit videos on first page of youtube. lets do it! :)

@stackin Good post! and yes, I have some great ideas for promoting Steemit. Your motivation is always welcome :D Steem on !!!

I don’t like the words promotion... people get turned off haha... I just tell people I’ll be on steemit, see you guys later and they follow 😂😂😂

Smooth savage hehehe.

😋💖

Totally agree about getting the word out. I've been telling my family and friends with lackluster results. Old paradigms die slowly.

Yeah, I never try to force it on people... I just talk about it on social media and if they want to see more of my content, they have too see it is on Steemit lol

You're right the markets are red, kinda brings out the heart aches in me

Tons of buying opportunities and getting position that you always wanted 😬

Excellent post and i agree with your thoughts that promoting is important for the success of any platform and right now it's the time to promote the steem, so that steem blockchain gets new users and clients.

You are absolutely right promoting Steem it will make grow ... !!!

I've brought about 5 people on, the key is to not try and sell them too hard, these days people are very skeptical and they needed warmed up to the idea that a platform that costs nothing and can reward you, like Steemit, exists

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

You are right, we are the same community and should act together, only then we will achieve the desired. Thanks for the contribution of Steemit.

As we steemit user. So we have to promote steem.

I don't think that the masses are ready to handle steemit. It's too advanced for them

@stackin , You are right. The time to get people treated proper from engaging is here! Very well on point with your article. Thanks and looking forward to see more.

Its @wesley brother from another mother steemian trooper in training watch out guys here comes a jedi in the making :)

steam did not do a good job blocking bitconnect pumpers right here in there own platform with influcnce - they that exposed a venerability that needs to be addressed with money and influence promoting a scam i cant believe more community members didn't get behind the scam comments and up vote them? some have failed the system

There's no denying the virtues of Steemit and the very positive effect it has had around the developing world to get people out of poverty and give them a real base to advance.
But like every human enterprise there are fiddles built into it. Excesses and abuses which corrupt it.

It IS a pyramid
And there are abuses going on in posts. #FakeNews
Pump & Dump hype which invariably harms those least capable of taking losses
Some crusaders are trying to get action to clean up Steemit's act for the common good
but pump & dump won't be going away anytime soon

000 pd.png

I have been promoting Steemit from the time I joined,it happened so naturally.
You guys need to check this awesome group of guys promoting Steemit allover the world.
Check out #promo-steem tag now.

I agree with you
I introduce my friends Steemit

Notice me

I'm still having trouble explaining why crypto isn't different from fiat currencies to my friends. It's weird; they understand the dollar is backed by the "full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.", but they can't get behind a crypto. It drives me even crazier when I tell them they can join steem for free. I need to work on my sells pitch!

i dont know man i mean i am from asia and i dont want to promote it here couse i know if i did that steemit will stop providng there services here cuse people here just start spaming thing and i dont want to do that and i think it should be promoted

BRB guys, the markets are tanking some more... I have to do some buy orders
😂🤣😂🤣

Now that the markets are down we can take it as a perfect time for new members to start stackin some steem!

good

thank you for the great post we all have ideas to promot in steemit

@stackin Wow Jerry that was a lot of work, thank you!
I will check them out when I get home this evening and can sit down and read.

I used to promote Steemit a lot on FB but nowadays not so much. I realized that there is no need to force it upon people. It will eventually takes its course.

Na, lets for it or some other platform will force them better. :)

totally :)

Good job

valuable post. thanks

to spread steemit we have to engage with other social media to let them know about us.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

It's all truth in your word
I've already started talking to my friends about holding a steemit campaign in my school next month...

i'm talking about steemit with all my friends!

yeap we all should start promoting this wonderful platform :)

I agree with you.We should spread the message to others too
-cheers-

I'm with you @stackin.
Upvoted and resteemed done

You're right, we have to share steemit to our family, friends, friends of friends and also to those people we don't know. Especially to the people who needs financial support. Here in our country, there's a lot of people who are unemployed. And I could share this kind of platform to them and experience what we experience here in steemit. I am an online seller, maybe I could also promote steemit on my page :)

Time to make a move and start the movement :)

Totally agree, this is a community effort. The more we put in, the more we will gain from it. Keep on Steeming.

Getting people hyped about joining before a platform is ready to accommodate those users is a disaster waiting to happen. We need to fix the issues that cause the terrible user retention first before we can start hoping that anything will moon based on pageviews increasing. Whales need to make sure that the experience is worthwhile if they want to actually grow their stake, right now they're fighting to keep what they have and it will stunt the growth of steemit permanently if they keep at it.

Pushing to much ain't gonna bring new users, its sounds desperate! Some people just need time. When I first signed up for Facebook back in the days I only checked once a month in the first year.. This kind of posts are not good for new Steemit users to read. Its like we only care about the money in Steemit and not the social stuff.. New users gonna read this and think, hey these guys are panicking because the cryptocurrency went down, they only care for the STEEM price! Chill, of Steemit ia as good as we all believe users gonna come, no bullying in needed.

Not saying push it, talk about it and make people aware of it just like what most did with FB. :)

Very correct, this is a very strategic way of promoting steem in the communities, the bigger the better. Great job @stackin.

Steemit is now my life. though a student i have decided to be a full time steemian. whether in class, market, rooms i have started my job with steemit. The Uganda steemit team is fully determined to make a great move and strongly promoting steemit. let's everyone understand that its now steemit time. Time has has come to show our potential. in sicial medias we are there and will do our level best to make steemit known in Africa. This are not just words but our personal determinations as individuals and as Uganda Steemit members

nice post

i am taking my job seriously bro we need to run the streets time to build the gang gang

well said @stackin! we have to do our best to help this platform grow more.

Hi @stackin,

Good post. Your blog is actually very informative.

Regarding content in "steemit.com":
All the social media post a lot of jobs offers. We are not posting this kind of content here.

Could you, please, comment on the possible causes of this behavior?

Maybe the Steemeans are not interested in job-post !?

Thanks.

its not very hard but getting an account for them is very hard they can't wait for months

already doing the best i can and spreading the word

I do agreed, I've got just only 3-4 of my friends to signed up and i still have a lot to learn as I've just posted my first blog 2 days ago, but it's been so much fun! Hopefully I can bring more people here!:) @stackin

That is how you build a strong community if everyone of us invites lets say 5 people and after that they invite another 5 people here it is ! Promoting the platform is very important. There should be more meet ups in the cities, that helps a lot :)

@charlesfuchs well i found another Steemian Trooper at last!! I have been here on this site for just over two weeks. I totally agree with your post here. Now at first I only came here influenced by a youtube channel called "We are change" but I had heard of the censorship and thought right lets have a look. At first i thought my niche my passion as a saxophonist that was the only thing I would focus on but then as a marketer i saw mass opportunity to share this with others. Right now as we speak a group of steemian troopers is been prepared to take on the challenge. Instagram and twitter has been blowing up with over 150 just in a two day period showing interest in this site photographers fashion models travel bloggers musicians. I got two marketing videos ranked on page one of youtube. capture pages linked to my instagram @cliveaamartin check out the last 3 posts on there. I will be sharing what im doing on twitter and instagram. i don't need SLEEP BOOK to even market any more infact I want to eventually stay away. This is my home now this is my passion now to give a stage and a home to people that are already posting creating content. Today alone at least 8 stormian troopers are been prepared. Look out for my next few blogs. We do need more steemian troopers to stand up and take on the challenge. Its still early days with only just over 500,000 members we are only just scratching the surface seriously guys "We climb when we reach out and lift up each other. My reputation is only small right now but I know by giving and sharing value we all can have a voice we all benefit so keep up the good work you are not alone we can choose which direction to go so lets Climb people lets climb :)

I have worked as a digital marketer in past so for sure I will be promoting this Amazing community with my connections, already few people to joined with my efforts and they are loving it.

I joined this site 2 weeks ago .my collegue told me about that its a amazing site and tutorils help alot. Thank you so much for such a good information .

I like your post
Please upvote me

yeah many people starts work here on steemit in different way to help others ....its helpful also promoting
