I Want to Congratulate All the Early Users of Steemit.
All the trials that we went through as a community are now paying dividends. It is not easy being a pioneer. Making a new path instead of taking the old worn out road is difficult. People thought we were crazy, accused us of being part of a Ponzi scheme and generally treated Steemit as a scam. Now we are reaping the rewards of having the ability to stick with something.
I know the pendulum is swinging towards huge growth because I am seeing many of my social media peers joining Steemit. These people are the ones who have hundreds of thousands of followers across social media. They will carry the Steemit banner far and wide. Steemit links will soon be found on every major social media site on the internet.
The one thing I found lacking on the platform was the lack of sharing content across the web. There is no easier way to attract people than to share our content externally. If you keep your content within the Steemit bubble then the only chance for others to see your content organically is via Google Search and that takes time.
Sharing across other social media platforms can have immediate rewards via more views. The long term rewards are that people begin to regularly visit Steemit and then sign up. This is exactly what happened to me with Medium.
Don't Forget to Share Your Steemit Content Across the Web and Leave a Trail.

Im really waiting for the blow up moment like the hard fork 19.
I can feel that steemit is going to be something major in the upcoming years and to some extent a rival to Facebook.
Cheers for the amazing article and I wish you all the best in your steem adventure friend :)
See you on the moon.

To see Steemit come even close to Facebook would be amazing. Yet I have to wonder if the rewards per post/comment/upvote will decrease with more people on the platform.

Yes, share share share outside of steemit! More and make people from my network are signing up - even if it's "just to have a look" at first.
Do we know how many accounts are being opened per day? Is there a way to check that? I know we had a big backlog a couple of weeks back. Just that fact alone shows how steemit is going viral at the moment.

I couldn't agree with you more @hilarski. Normally when people post something on Facebook, they share it on every other media platform they own.... I know most of the Steemit community doesn't like using other social media platforms, but everyone we need to start! Use it to market the Steemit Brand! It will help every current Steemian using this platform :)

When you feel your Steemit stories are not getting the attention they deserve then sharing them on other social media sites will in fact send more visitors which makes it more worth wile spending your precious time writing new original content.
Great stories can actually be promoted on sites like Facebook for pennies if you really want to boost your Steemit views.

As soon as Steemit goes mainstream it will be a flood of new users. Can't wait to see how it goes. I'm here for month and a half and even though I am not making much, because english is not my native language, I'm eager to see more of my language people so we can build and spread Steemit here.
Also, I just enjoy reading Steemit blogs. They are getting better and better every day. HF19 did a great job on that.

You're right... we need more external sharing. My wife and I both do that. Not so many people do...
We can but keep trying. I am working on the Facebook angle, sharing with interest groups where I am admin, and on some of my pages. Next step is to switch strategy... writing something "niche specific" on Steemit that's BOTH about the niche topic while ALSO promoting (subtly) Steemit as part of the article. I did that once before, and the post ended up with about 1800+ views, so there were definitely "eyeballs" coming over.
My wife is a graphic designer-- considering asking her to make a clickable image footer that's a quick Steemit promo, and using it in all my stuff... regardless of whether it's published here or elsewhere.
It seems to be getting harder to get Facebook to load a preview image when posting Steemit links... looking into the what/why of that. Might be because I hard code all my posts as HTML.

@hilarski, as a follow-up, your post inspired me to put an article out there for "web distribution," so thanks for the nudge! So far, so good... it's approaching 400 views... my question (since you've been at this for a while) is this: Is there ANY kid of app or tool out there that allows us to determine if someone made an account as a result of reading out content?

I think being able to merge the web 2.0 with SteemIT, which is an epithomy of WEb 3.0 for me is key. That way the transition would occur way faster and we would be able to grow the platform which enables freedom of speech way quicker. I have already told all my friends and coworkers about Steem + have promoted it on my personal Facebook and while a lot of them think it`s some ponzi scheme I have gotten at least 5 people onto it. Just like SteemIt rewards you on the platform, in real life networking could play a huge role. If each of us promotes it to 10 people, millions more would transition. In your face Google and FBIbook.! Great post!!!

Everybody can be incentivised if money is involved.

The problem with promoting steemit outside is that we don't get upvotes from visitors who are not registered with steemit, hence nobody think of promoting it outside. If steemit also pays per unique impressions then the growth would high very quickly.

I have been sharing my material in a variety of different places for a few months now, I don't know if this has inspired people to sign up to steemit or not but it certainly has increased the number of views that my posts get.

While it is great that Steemit is growning. I think that it is time for the interface to mature with it. It needs to be multi-column and have better tools right in the interface for promoting and following content. It currently takes a host of tools that many will not want to try to track down to really participate well. Upvote and I already follow you.

Very true indeed. When we were just 30-40k users string it was a completely different environment. You can feel there is a buzz now and it seems (at least for me) it is easier to share with people what steemit it than it was 6 months ago.
Maybe it's the BTC buzz or people even hearing the word ethereum now, biut either it's good for steemit.
