Promoting Steem on Facebook After the Cryptocurrency Ads Ban!

facebook ads after ban.png

After introducing millions Facebook users to Steem, Facebook banned cryptocurrency ads. How am I now advertising in a way that allows indefinitely promoting Steem for free using page like ads combined with organic reach to posts on Steem?


To summarize, by using page like ads for $0.01 per like, getting thousands of likes every day allows me to indefinitely try 5 to 10 times a day to reach users liking the page for free.

Note to @zappl team: This post showed on steemit.com without an image when I attached a YouTube video with an image. Is it always like that because of the iframe? I hope this will be fixed in an upcoming update!

Steemit is threat to facebook so as crypto is a threat to government. All we can do is to keep promoting steem in anyway we can.

Hey @jerrybanfield do you have a tutorial about cryptocurrency on udemy?

UNTIL THE CAR 'S LOGO COMES UP.

lol...I laughed there !!!

Thanks jerry for informing this way out !!! You are a genius :D

Yeah we will look into the youtube video image. I think its because were not using the method to pull the video preview. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

You can run ads advertising the Steemit Platform its not Crypto currency. Your basically promoting yourself first not Steemit at all. WHy not create a Stemmit fan page and promote Steemit fan page. Your just building your own brand

According to my interpretation of the Facebook rules at https://www.facebook.com/business/news/new-ads-policy-improving-integrity-and-security-of-financial-product-and-services-ads it appears ads for any steemit.com link count as a cryptocurrency because steemit.com is a user interface for the Steem blockchain which is listed as a cryptocurrency on exchanges. Any of us is welcome to test my assumption and put the Facebook ads account at risk running the ads.

With resteeming posts every day, my page reaches tens of thousands of people a day with messages from authors on Steem that are not me. Those signing up to read my posts will invariably follow other authors, trade Steem, and add to the value of our community.

With me being all in on Steem sharing 5 to 10 posts a day that go to steemit.com on my page and every person liking my page having the chance to see them, there is no separation between promoting my page and promoting Steem. If I often made posts that did not go to Steem or frequently tried to sell users on my own products or email list on my Facebook page, then it would be reasonable to suggest that it was self promotion rather than Steem promotion. As is, my page is devoted to promoting Steem and will be indefinitely.

Yes he does indeed. It's a shame that many of the Steemit Gurus beat their chest wide and loud that they're promoting the platform and doing it for the community, but when you judge all their materials, posts, videos on cold you can definitely see is that a big chunk (about 70%) is about money and self-promoting or branding rather than actually taking concrete actions with 0 selfishness towards helping the community. I noticed that quite a few of his titles on Youtube are misleading and is actually talking again about money and himself. It's a shame though that.. More than that, Jerry even has a bot of his own (with his own name even => more self-promoting yes) that automatically does upvotes, for those who pay of course. But i don't see the #steemit (@steemit) founders doing anything about this to make it right. So they use their own bots to upvote themselves, make money out of that, and also get themselves in the trending section with articles that have little or no value, and thus drowning all the good content and leave it to fade away on the bottom of the barrel

Steemit look like (a lot) a game of the rich for the rich ones. Very very few actually make it through with their morale to keep making good content when they see silly or no value content trending for days and making crazy money bcs they have tons of bots and tons of SP or SBD to pay for even more bots to keep on trending and so on. Cycle goes on and it's not going for the people of the community that actually matters . Hope the founding members or the right people will see this content and take the necessary actions to make it right or at least to make major improvements.

We are doing more than any blockchain I know of to help users have a chance to earn.
Writing a comment based on the assumptions that what we are doing is not good enough is easy and usually comes from a place of feeling not good enough ourselves. Figuring out systems that work to help more of us discover Steem tends to be more challenging.

Yes what I do is not perfectly unselfish and nothing anyone else does is either. Your comment has the same built in problems as does my system for promoting Steem. My hope is that Steem will help us learn a better balance of service and selfishness.

What are you doing to promote Steem and build our community?

*''We are doing more than any blockchain I know of to help users have a chance to earn'' --> Using 'we' instead of 'i' shows that you know what you're doing and you try to hide behind those who you work with or your team. So, you're not assuming full responsability for the direction of the influence you have on other people. And again you talk about earning in the very first phrase, which clearly shows you don't give a penny on content and that you're mainly and most probably solely preoccupied just about the cash.

*''Writing a comment based on the assumptions that what we are doing is not good enough is easy and usually comes from a place of feeling not good enough ourselves'' ---> Yes i have feelings of anger and frustration that people abuse the platform and thus abuse its users by for their own personal gain. Again this is a community and by definition is not to redirect efforts and sustain a growing thirst for money by exploiting loopholes and people. For that we have the governments which are crippling the countries they are governing. The Steemit Community doesn't need that. And there is no assumption i am making here, and i can backup every single word that i wrote with videos and posts from your Youtube channel and your Steemit blog. Yes you are doing that way and the videos and 'content' is there to show that.

*''Figuring out systems that work to help more of us discover Steem tends to be more challenging'' --> Of course it is challenging. Governments loose their status quo once crypto is widely adopted and thus eventually will cease to exist (hopefully) and allow people to coexist in a healthy ecosystem without being governed and thus enslaved; also Fb of course it's scared like hell and thus making it difficult. They will loose monopoly over user's data and the users themselves with all the crappy policies they have. Again, like governments, they want to maintain their status quo, and thus to be the main actors on stage to make the big money. But we (the people) are more than numbers and revenue. We want to express, feel and live. And we want to be heard and understood and appreciated. That's what Steemit is about or should be about (but not really anymore now hence people use it for revenue mainly and only).

*''Yes what I do is not perfectly unselfish and nothing anyone else does is either'' -->I sense here some politician type of speaking.. Let me see if i get it: what you do is not perfectly unselfish. So what you do then is not totally selfish. You are on the right path to achieve that, but it's not perfect yet. Am i right? Cause let me tell you, you can't be gray on it. You are selfish or not. Even if you take the bigger piece but you give something to others, you are still being selfish for taking the bigger chunk in the first place. If you are a man, then you share it honestly equal between everyone. So you are selfish in what you do. You can choose to be honest man, instead of trying to hide behind the words. That would show a man's character.

*'' Your comment has the same built in problems as does my system for promoting Steem'' -> My comment may have spelling problems or similar as i am not native english speaker, and i'll admit that. Yet my comment has a built-in intention to raise a flag and bring awareness that something is wrong, and to ask people to take action. On the other hand, you Made a System that allows you to exploit some things that this platform provided in order to make rivers-flowing cash. As my intention is focused on groups and community your intention/your system's purpose is focused on you as individual. How can you even compare that between them as if they are similar or identical things but with different implementation? It's actually a mock brought up to the platform even saying that. That is a shame my friend.

*''My hope is that Steem will help us learn a better balance of service and selfishness'' ----> Those values are learned in life my friend by living and interacting with people. Also these are values passed over from parents as core values. Yes you can watch videos about empathy, generosity and care, but only going out and acting like that teaches you how to actually be like that. Steem can not teach you that. At best, it can raise your awareness about that. Therefore your hopes are misdirected here Jerry, and you try to find a type of meaning where is not the case. Same as how you want to make bunch of USDs on the back of Steemit but again, is not the case. Once more, Steemit is for content at its core.

*''What are you doing to promote Steem and build our community?'' --> Dear Jerry, i work as a nurse and by doing so i promote physical and psychological health. I really care about people that i meet when they'er vulnerable and at their worst in a hospital bed. Among this things, i talk to them about love relationships, and any other things they feel free to share. Many who wish for more creating freedom i directed them to look into steemit and see if that is what they want or need. To many of my friends i bring up about crypto where i include steemit 10/10 cases. I do that cause i feel it's too much that this governments, lobbyists, people with influence and so on are using their resources to mainly sustain themselves and bring nothing valuable to the area/community/society they are living in. It's just sick and it's sickening people both phisical and mental. I may not have so much power of influence or resources to reach as many people, but i do make sure that every single one that hears about crypto and steemit, are hearing and are directed on the right way, every day.

I know it is a long comment, but things have to be said as they are, as not many people seem to do that. I realise i may get flagged or something for speaking the things that bother the whales or for those who act and do in the wrong direction of what @steemit community was intended for. It's a risk i take for the things i believe in, and for the things that i understand are right and rightful for the people for the Community .

Steem hit the facebook for that taking the decision, this is so LOL

Hi Jerry, well done on coming up with a way around the advertising ban that Facebook implemented!

I know that promoting your page on Facebook benefits you and Steemit as you get more likes and Steemit gets more users, but if you are looking to advertise on other platforms, I have created a sample of an advertisement that adheres to Facebook's rules. I know that you run your own ads, so I would be happy to send you the samples that I made, or even leave an example in a comment if you want to.

Anyway, let me know if you would like to see them, I'm happy to help anyone with the current advertising problems. Well done again on getting around the issue!

Because Mark knows that steemit is capable of occupying Facebook and that's what will happen @jerrybanfield keep going

Steemit indeed is capable of occupying Facebook, and it should. The methods, practices and policies Facebook has in place is laughable, concerning and very detrimental to its users. Privacy policies, data usage, ads payments and enforcing are all against the the user's well concerning and totally directed towards Fb's revenue. But as i mentioned in the comment above, people with a lot of influence on this platform are severily dragging it down. I appreciate Jerry for wanting to make good money and stuff, but at least what he can do is to stop mentioning he is doing it for the community, cause many of his videos are directed towards how to make money on steemit (relating to the way he's making money on steemit) and thus he's promoting as main goal money making instead of good or quality content creating (where quality content creating is all if not the main idea for why is @steemit created in the first place).

Facebook is afraid of steem it :p

Facebook is out of control. I deactivated my account again. I completely deleted my original one in 2016, just in time to not read anything anyone had to say about the then-upcoming election. I joined again because I wanted to create some pages, but I just can't take it. Facebook cares ONLY about profit.

Exactly Mark which is a huge opportunity to bring users here instead!

I have been trying in real life and on Twitter with some success. I use your videos to help people get started!

That is so true,

besides Facebook looks to me more like a place where people just throw in all their selfies etcetera, hardly any real interesting content. It is mostly ego centric narcistic sh*t....

nice idea
carry on your activities i stay with you

Really, I appreciate your such a good work.

I am fan @jerrybanfield

as you said jerry agree on that
thank you so much
l love you man

This is all the fault of bitconnect and the scam ICO's. If not for them we wouldn't be having this facebook ad ban. Everything was good before the ban.

Have you considered moving the ads to other networks instead? Linkedin entrepreneur, youtube > d.tube > Twitter to zappl etc ?

Nice post beautiful presented and explained. detail oriented with nice blockchain information. thank you for sharing

who love jerry
say me

Me lol.

yea saw that whole facebook thing kinda sucks but hey we are getting larger youtubers on this site now like hodge twins and furious pete they are gonna bring alot of new users over

Well, that would be great! The more, the merrier! Until this will be the best platform!! :-)

I think I speak for many, when I say we all appreciate your hard work and consistency introducing new people to this great platform. I did have a idea though..... What about getting steem / steemit emblems and logos for our vehicle's. This may catch people's eye as well.

estoy de acuerdo hay que promocionarla mas y así atraer mas usuarios.....

Steemit-Distributes-1.3-Million-to-its-Social-Media-Community.jpg

Saya suka penjelasan anda ini,anda buat saya kagum untuk membuat post saya sendiri.

They will realized what steemit soon!! Keep the community great and inspiring!! :-)

its a very informative post.....thank you jerry

Yes, maybe true . Facebook introducing Cryptocurrency millions user.
But I can,t understood why facebook ban like of this Ads

Good..

I invited my family and friends to Steemit, so far nobody is following :(

I don't think there is a way to turn laggards into early adapters and Steemit is still in the very early age. Just as people who initially were opposed to FB are now on FB, so will late comers will join Steemit who don't get it yet. They will do this because of social pressure. Your family and my family, your friends and my friends will all be on Steemit in 5 years or less.

Give it time... they will come. once the word gets out you won't be able to contain them! :) cheer-up you're doing great!

Good information. I hope i can success in stemit

Good job brother

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

very good information, I am very interested, and my insights are growing, thanks friend

Yes, very helpful. 'Where there's a will, there's a way.'

Nice information Mr.@jerrybanfield
I really like your posts

Thanks once again @jerrybanfield.

Did they say why they are banning crypto ads? I get that some cryptos and schemes within are dodgy/scams.

On another note, I don't think the steem platform is capable of taking over FB is it? I don't know enough about it but it seems there is not the capability for privacy on steem. Eg to have only your friends see a post, to have a group where only members can see etc.

Peter I think we can completely put Facebook out of business in 5 or 10 years on Steem!

Hahha can't deny that excites me. An evil thought perhaps lol. One question i've had since I started investigating this incredible platform is how hard it would be to add FB functionality? Building various interfaces on top of the platform such as steemit and busy is one thing but the privacy/group aspect of FB would be a core change wouldn't it?

Best

BTW I'm sure it would be far quicker than 5-10 years once the functionality is there. Things like this in this day and age move very quickly. It's a no brainer - same functionality but we get the payout not the shareholders. The question is when to short FB shares :)

good blog...i appreciate so much to see this informative blog...
keep it on..
best of luck..

Yo trabajo mucho con Google Plus y Twitter, me parecen mejores plataformas que Facebook, quizá por que las trabajo mejor.

What if this is to slow down people learning about crypto and then learning about steemit? That seems to be the natural progression!

Wow, this is good, I just did a promotion today using a few tricks and it got approved.
Hope to implement this technique too.

Facebook is aware of steem and the powerful of blockchain.
On the next few years, facebook will not be the largest social platform on the planet.
Steem is goig to be larger than the current like tumbler or google blooger.

@jerrybanfield do you know why when I upvoted your post earnings went down? Some posts gain $2 when I upvote and others only 0.01c. What's the rub?

my dad always told me. " don't ever train your replacement" . Seems the zuk got the same advice somewhere. Good work Jerry.

Wow, this is good, I just did a promotion today using a few tricks and it got approved.good

M using similar trick too to promote Steemit on facebook

Ads for cryptocurrency on Facebook is shown to me normally

That ban is fake news

ps. My friends when I talk to them about Steemit
When I say: You create money when someone like your post, my friends look at me like this.

Clever!

Thanks Mr Zuckerburg eh...

And loving your upbeat vibe.

Short form videos are my preference for what it is worth :)

Meanwhile:

Dear @jerrybanfield I have a creative project I need help with to raise sponsership and being somewhat of a noob have no idea how to reach folks such as your good self!

As a professional artist and ex London Art School tutor I wish to run a reward contest with 3 categories: Amateur/Student/Professional with the option for Amateurs and students to solicite(free) tutoring in response to their entry ~ a crit if you like.

Like you I am all about love and lightworking and aim to add value to others.

I wrote a brief post here, about "Art Degrees" which will quickly fill you in.

Any advice you feel able to share would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

xox

Thanks for sharing, facebook get ready,steemit is taking over.

This videos are just awesome :):)
@upvoted

actually we can also promote through facebook by creating a page or grub that is filled with members who already know steemit ... by the way 1 person steemit users can invite one person is great ... imagine 1000 people using steemit each can invite one person then 1000 steemit users increase ... I am here to introduce steemit to the environment around her special woman ... just can not promote further ... because my level and upvote is still low.

hmm bit of cracking down on the icos, this is just fall out i guess

Oh man! I agree with some of these comments already. I think that facebook can't figure out how to make it work. They can't figure out how to give credit to individuals and still remain the king of the mountain. I am glad you figured out a way to still get your posts out there. @freedompoint

Hello dear @jerrybanfield are very interesting your post and the way you promote steemit... I only have promoted in my social networks and people write me privately to explain how this page works and the potential that has the steem, thanks for the Tutorial!

cryptocurrency is the best earning site.

i have a question why all millionar dislike crypto

it's not gonna work man,facebook ban was one of the main reason cryptocurrencies drop

Facebook bitcoin ad is great, Facebook with steem, great think, thank you

There are no limitation or wall anywhere. They only exist in our mind. You just proved that by finding a way round the fb ban. Great one

i'm always share steemit links on my facebook pages, should i worried i'm going banned to by facebook ?

No I share 5 or 10 a day with no worry about being banned. It is advertising cryptocurrencies that is currently against the policy!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thanks @jerrybanfield for the info .

It's is true news....

yeah hopefully in the front update in the repair

Strategic methods of advertising Steem on facebook could be creating a Steemit group chat on facebook, publicizing Steemit content links on facebook.
I believe Facebook is still useful and a great site to promoting Steemit.
Thanks @jerrybanfield for this informative video.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

And how about Google+?

there are some Steemians there.
Just a few, but there are communnities after all

Maybe we can promote by excluding the word cryptocurrency and just use earn :)

Dear Jerry you are really so so innovative. I really like your style abs level of ingenuity.

WOOOW. I just now see your fans page.. You have million follower..

I always considered Facebook a piece of crap, tried to get rid of my account several times but came back because it's like an only way to find out what my friends and important communities are up to. Anyway I think that Steemit will be a super huge badass social platform one day which will take all over them and that's why facebook and other platforms are so scared and doing such things

Please vote and resteem my post. and if you can please transfer a little SBD for me because I really need money.

Yes, very helpful. 'Where there's a will, there's a way.'

steem must continue to live because of the steem application of the people who benefit, we the indonesian community especially aceh almost fully use steem application, we fully support steem, may steem always exist, and always work, thank you steem

I think it is helpful to generate more SBD

@jerrybanfield Facebook is just going to be a nonsense. Thats why peoples are moving to STEEMIT. It pays to the users and also doing their advertisement. Day by day steemit is going to be a huge platform.
giphy.gif

promote steem as a blog Platform is ok.

Thanks a lot for sharing your new method. Facebook can be such a powerhouse.
