The worry I have and is something that I have felt for most of 2018, is that the concentration of Steem Power is focusing on developing the Platform at the expense of promoting the Community. Feel free, if you feel like ripping my head off..!!

#Promo-Steem - Sharing to Twitter is very poor

#Steemit.jpg

Please use the #Steemit hash tag when sharing your blogs to Twitter

As a Community, I feel that we could be doing more when sharing across our Social Network, especially to Twitter.

I have just counted up the number of Tweets that have been posted to Twitter with the hash tag #Steemit.

For me, I feel that the number is very disappointing.

With 58 tweets in 6 hours using the hash tag #Steemit, this equates to approximately 232 tweets / day.

How do I know this?

I have just counted them all and "liked" every one of them on twitter..!!

With 232 tweets / day we will never get #Steemit trending..!!

Recently I have started to put together a Database of active #Steemit users that are also active on Twitter with the sole intention to attempt to get #Steemit trending on Twitter.

However, with a mere 232 tweets / day being posted to twitter using the #Steemit hash tag, to achieve such a goal with these sorts of numbers, I feel is damn near impossible..!!

Lack of appetite to want to promote #Steemit Blogs

For months, I have been expressing my concern that there is a significant lack of appetite to want to promote #Steemit Blogs on Twitter and this I can only suggest is down to a lack of desire to want to grow the Community.

I am hoping I have got it completely wrong

Having been on #Steemit for coming up to 2 years, I am confident to say that there appears to be a worrying pattern emerging that I am hoping I have got it completely wrong.

Where's the Power when we need it most..!!

The worry I have and is something that I have felt for most of 2018, is that the concentration of #Steem Power is focusing on developing the Platform at the expense of promoting the Community.

I have said it before and will keep on repeating it.

I strongly believe that we have some of the best Technical people working on developing the Community, but sadly I feel we are extremely weak in the Commercial sense.

Sadly at the age of 52 I have seen it all before

I am sure that there will be some of you out there that would feel like jumping down my throat and would like to rip my head off by taking such a stance, but sadly at the age of 52 I have seen it all before.

The worrying thing about what we possibly could be facing, is a highly technical piece of kit that is being controlled by just a handful of wealthy individuals and trust me if this was the case then it really would be a very sad thing to happen to #Steemit.

Now form an orderly queue.....

Now form an orderly queue if you feeling like ripping my head off, I am only saying it as it is.

I will stand next to you. I wish we could turn back time with two years and start over. It was more fun then and much more alive than now. It is really getting annoying......

Good initiative, I've done my part and will continue to do so.

I think you do have a valid point @stephenkendal ..... without the community there is no point of anything else.....so that should be appreciated.

I am agree with your great plan, and we should promote it as much we can do

@stephenkendal it's a great idea . It will surely help to all of us.

I agreed with your idea. We can make steemit as trending with our focuse and commitment. # steemit hashtag is must important to make a post on twitter. A huge tweets makes #steemit trending on twitter.

Interest in Steemit and blogging increases with STEEM price since people are purely driven by reward. I know that when the market is down or trending sideways that I rarely want to write blogs since the incentive just isn't there.

Steemit is our source of income. So think about it promotion. We are steemians. And think like creatives who do something bigger to acheive goals. I am agreed that we must promote #steemit on twitter witk making it as hashtag. And make steemit as trending on twitter.

Agree with can be followed by a method!!
You are a true inspiration and leader. Keep up the excellent work.

You are true sir, twitter is barometer to check the popularity of certain other community like steemit. But dont worry sir, I am hopeful, together we can bring steemit on board.

I agree with you. I started in Feb of this year and was very exciting about the opportunity to "make money." It didn't take long before I realized that it was not about the money but about the community. But, a few months after this realization, I started to see the darker side of Steemit. The community is very important but I too feel it is being margenolized and left to be run like the lord of the flies. It has been disheartening for the past couple of months as I re evaluate why I am on steemit. I do believe it has huge potential but I am wondering if steemit will become like myspace as other come into the same space and stand on the shoulders of Steemit to make something better and more focused on the community.

It's a good initiative, I've been posting about STEEM on my twitter for a while now. But can't do it too often as then it looks like I am shilling something.

Will have more time to do it after I recover from all my Haejin/Ranchorelaxo flags

Recover?

A healthy balance of promotion and development is what we require, people need to know about this platform then only if will be of any use. I no one will know about its existence then what are we developing. correct me if I am wrong, Sir

steemit is future

I don't use Twitter, but I definitely agree with you about the importance of sharing steemit links on other platforms. This is why @cmp2020 and I created the Steemit's Best Classical Music Facebook page and the @classical-music account here on Steem.

Hmm, I do sometimes tweet my posts but haven't thought of using the #steemit tag. I will endeavour to do so from now :)
