LetsTalk—Results From Leveraging Facebook To Promote Steemit Content!

Over the past two weeks I’ve been sharing Steemit content on Facebook and tracking engagement with my content. I thought 2 weeks is a good time frame to measure the engagement with my posts on my personal profile and share the results with everyone here!

If you guys are doing something different that has helped you increasing reactions, shares and comments to your steemit content shared on your facebook account, please let me know in the comments below.

Does Facebook Shadowban Exist?

Many months ago I read the post from @hilarski and at the time I remember sharing my content and getting zero engagement on it. Months later as I come back to writing after my accident I immediately started sharing my work on facebook and decided to share the results from my little experiment.

Please note: These are organic engagements. Not Paid Posts!

^{It started off with my comeback post which saw decent traction.}

^{My recent post from few hours ago has gained excellent traction}

Most of my posts receive decent engagement on facebook. My friends are often supportive of my work, they share it, like it and recommend it to others. This has allowed me to leverage the content produced on steemit to a large extent.

Exciting Engagement Results

^{This post got incredible traction on and off Steemit. One of the best ones!}

^{This is not the most interesting of all subjects and I had other posts being shared around the same time so engagement was average.}

^{If you remember the BTCC polls. I actively tried to get some votes resulting in a massive discussion around crypto and Steemit! Many of my friends signed up!}

^{One day I decided to share @lpfaust's description of Steemit (with his permission) and this resulted in a great discussion with a few friends signing up again!}

^{I wrote a story close to my heart and that got some decent traction as well on and off facebook}

One of the days I decided to share @heiditravels' blog on crypto. Her easy to understand videos were very useful and a few friends thanked me for sharing it as it helped clear their concepts.

^{I enjoy watching Heidi's videos! What about you?}

Way Forward

Recently, as I continued my efforts to promote Steemit amongst Indian users I got a young blogger friend @nirmal to join. Together, we run a popular and quickly growing cryptocurrency group on Facebook: CryptoHub: Bitcoin & Altcoin Assistant

^{Nirmal recommends Steemit as he finds it a great platform that I said it would be!}

^{56 comments and a plenty of great discussion around steemit}

^{I share a post outlining Nirmal's success on his fantastic introduction post and it had solid traction.}

These are the results from Nirmal's feedback upon using FB. As you can see the engagement and interaction is simply great. It got over a dozen people to sign up nearly the same day and over the past week I've reached out to @andrarchy several times in the day to speed up approvals for my friends and these bloggers willing to join steemit to share their content.

How can we forget the @steemfest announcement post by @roelandp. Many of my friends know about my participation at SteemFest and a few even indicated their interest in visitng Lisbon with me.

^{See you folks at SF2.}

Ideas for Continuing Promotion

I've also shared my content on whatsapp groups, twitter and now I'm going to leverage Flipboard and paid promotion of Steemit content on the Steemit India fan page I've created.

^{I've had great success with flipboard on one my websites. At the time it had a lot of American traffic and I intend to utilize Flipboard now more than ever!}

I've also been sharing content on popular Steemit related Facebook groups:

1. We Love Steemit
2. Aspiring Steemit Whales & Dolphins
3. Steemit Group

I haven't had the chance to ask @cryptoctopus but I'm hoping to gain some insights from him so I can devise a marketing/promotional strategy to take my Steemit outreach in India to the next level.

In case you were wondering who will fund all this, I will do it with the earnings from my post as much possible. Ergo, I welcome your support towards my work on Steemit. It is much appreciated!

Thank you for your attention!
