Post promotion on Steemit
As the Steemit platform evolves and transforms, many new ways are coming about that allows people to promote themselves and become visible on Steemit.
What do I do?
- Interaction!
Where are you? On a social media platform! That means that you need to socialise. Commenting and dragging people into conversations not only helps you gain followers, it helps you meet people with like-minded views. When commenting on peoples posts, avoid begging for support and be truly interested in the topic. Do not comment for the sake of commenting.
- Join the community.
Posting everyday and commenting on a few posts help you to speak to individuals. There is a great audience out there to be discovered. Visit https://steemit.chat/home daily and speak to the people there. Opportunities for post promotion are available when used correctly. Also feel free to join discord to get in touch with Steem-trail. An invite can be found on the Business-trail profile.
Other communities are starting to grow such as SteemSpeak, SteemGigs and many other new communities.
- Bring new members to the community.
Bringing anyone you know to Steemit is also a good marketing tool as these new people can help to promote your name. Of course, this will mean that you will have to help them get started on the Steemit platform, but having new members and potential investors that know about you is a benefit. There is also a major influx of newer users, so introduce yourself early!
- Do not isolate yourself.
Do you have a large following on Twitter or Facebook? Perhaps you even have a YouTube channel? These areas create great marketing opportunities. Bring your audience to Steemit. Link your posts on your social media. Perhaps even have promotional gatherings with friends and family.
- Promote your posts.
Though I would not recommend this usually, new users that have spent 1 SBD to promote a post have often found it useful to gain a few followers.
Thanks for mentioning about promoted posts. I saw the tab up top and didn't know how you actually promote, or when you should. I could still use some more detail on that.
At the bottom of your post, above your Social media links is the promote button. Simply decide how much you want to spend to promote your post. The more you spend, the higher you will appear on the promoted tab...
This is not a means of getting high payouts. Rather, use it for visibility.
Thank you, that helps!
Thanks for sharing this! I just upvoted you
Hello! I'm new to your team!
Thanks for the advice, I fully agree with the statements on this post!
All excellent advice, and I even found a few things I haven't heard of or used yet, like Discord. I do use chat regularly, and comment like crazy. It's always good to have more tools in your box to get your posts noticed. Thank you for the good information.
These are all great suggestions and very helpful thank you. Can you tell me what exactly happens when I promote a post?
