Paid campaign to promote STEEM

Hi, this is @o1eh. I created this account for a specific purpose and now I will explain it.

---

Long before I became a STEEM Representative, I was interested in promoting STEEM on social media. At that time, it seemed to me that no one was doing this (although now I know for sure that this is not the case). So, I found like-minded people and we started work.

At the moment, I manage two STEEM accounts on Instagram and Twitter. Well, today I will talk only about Instagram.

Until now, I have tried hard to create content, but as you can see, I have not achieved significant success. My account has only 159 followers. There are many reasons for this. My content is mainly informational and related to STEEM. This is not exactly what users expect to see on Instagram. Besides, I'm not a professional in this business and I can't spend too much time on it. But it's not about that. While I was engaged in the development of the account, I came to certain conclusions:

• Our entire community consists of three groups: bloggers, investors and developers.
• There should be a separate approach to each of these groups.
• New talented and not-so-talented bloggers can be attracted by regular content publishing, i.e. posts, stories and videos. Especially if you often mention contests where you can win prizes. However, this does not work with investors.

It should be noted here what I mean by investors. It's not just Elon Musk and Warren Buffett. These are the same people as you and me, these are people who sit for hours on cryptocurrency exchanges, thinking about which coin to buy, these are people who want to invest in something new and can afford to buy at least 1 STEEM.

So, I want to try a paid promotion campaign. Why?

• There is just a bunch of material on the net that pours mud on STEEM and claims that it is dead. Under such conditions, it is difficult to hope that someone will invest in such a coin.
• A person who sees an advertisement on Instagram will not immediately run to buy STEEM, and I understand that. However, the presence of ads still does its job. A person will see an advertisement, after some time he may come across a mention of STEEM and think: "Hey, I've already heard about this coin!" He may want more information.
• The very existence of paid promotion will indicate that the coin is not just alive, but successful and the community can afford to pay for promotion.

What do I suggest? In this post I will show you the Instagram post that I am going to promote. If you support this idea, please support this post. All liquid STEEM received for this post will be deposited into my bank account. From the bank account with the help of my VISA card, I will pay for the promotion of the post on Instagram. In the next post, I will show the results of the promotion, as well as the next Instagram post that I will promote. Over time, I will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of this work and whether it is worth doing at all.

Here is the Instagram post I am going to promote (it consists of 5 slides):

I'm certainly not a designer, but I try to do something useful for STEEM.

So, if you support this idea, please support this post. I would like to collect at least $5 worth of liquid STEEM, but I realize that I probably won't reach that goal. In any case, I will order a promotion for the amount that can be raised.

Best regards, @o1eh.
