_{canva design}

The advent of crypto currency has immensely contributed to global economic growth. Steemit has taken its turn to promote crypto trading by creating a scalable blockchain technology.
A lot of community and individual lives have been bettered since it's inception in 2016.
The higher your promotions and contributions to the well being of a blockchain, the more you benefit from it.
This is the essence of this article cum steemit promotion through onboarding of new members.

I so much believe in the power of any platform that empowers talented individuals mostly in developing countries such as mine, Nigeria. It will be good to share our great steemit experiences on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc and also become part of influential steemit communities. This will serve as an opportunity to widen our efforts in promoting the platform by speaking and encouraging people to sign up.

Steemit is designed from the ground up to address the major barriers to adoption and monetization of a social media based economy. The thesis is that the same techniques used to grow major social media platforms can be used to bootstrap a successful cryptocurrency.

Economic incentives enabled by cryptocurrency can dramatically facilitate the growth of social media platform. It is the synergy between cryptocurrency and social media that have given steem a powerful advantage in the market.

Steemit operates on a base of one-steemian one-vote. Under this model, individuals who have contributed the most to the platform as measured by their account balance, have the most influence over how contributions are scored.

In addition, It only allows members to vote with steem power when it is committed to a vesting schedule. In this model, members have a financial incentive to vote in a way that maximises the long term value of their steem and steem dollars (SBD).

Steem is designed around a relatively simple concept: everyone’s meaningful contribution to the community should be recognized for the value it adds. When people are recognized for their meaningful contributions, they continue contributing and the community grows. Any imbalance in the give and take within a community is unsustainable. Eventually the givers grow tired of supporting the takers and disengage from the community.

HOW THEN CAN WE PROMOTE AND INVITE NEW MEMBERS TO STEEMIT

Through Smart Media Tokens

The native digital assets on the steemit blockchain. SMTs can be launched by anyone to help monetize online content and create incentives to encourage desired user behavior.

This method is a highly-efficient way of promoting steemit. Many people will surely ignore a marketing email even before they read it, so I advise you put all your efforts into creating an engaging email marketing campaign.

A better strategy is to collect targeted mobile numbers of potential users and send marketing texts directly to them. Mobile messages are more likely to be read and usually receive a great response from interested users. You can hire an SMS marketing company or software for the task. And in this way more people register and steemit is promoted

There are quite a number of other communities where you can further promote your a coin offering.
You need to first of all find the relevant community websites and join them. Before you start talking promotions, you first need to build a trust by participating in ongoing discussions.

Then, you can officially introduce steemit coin, its history, benefits, future and other details to the community users. If they are interested, they will ask questions for which you can provide answers accordingly. Like we do have some communities on discord.

If you are not much familiar with a lot of online marketing tactics, the best alternative is to hire paid marketing services. This services are provided by Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and several other online platforms.

This basically involves displaying advertisements, videos, banners, etc, about steemit on other existing sites with the aim to gain traffic from them. An online marketing company can help you set up a paid promotion campaign for your steem and sbd coins.

Through Display Campaigns (Ads)

Display campaign is a form of paid advertising where you promote your own products/services on other popular sites in the same niche through a number of different display items such as images, video, audio, flash, and text.

This is a form of direct marketing. Depending on the quality of email campaigns, it can help produce amazing results.

Email marketing involves sending targeted marketing emails about your product launch, offers, etc, to specific people. This is a really good strategy to spread the information about a coin. I’ve done this several times and it has worked out perfectly well.

However, you need to build an email list first and include only the people who might actually be interested in your product. Then, you can hire an email marketing service or software to get started.

This is a type of marketing in which other people or businesses, called affiliates, send traffic or visitors to your website/blog in exchange for a commission.

Here’s how to do it

First, you can start an affiliate campaign on well website. Pay a commission to affiliates who bring new signups (or any other activity) through their own marketing efforts.

The idea is that these professional affiliates may know more people and have better networks than you do and can help you generate more traffic to your site.

The main task of an online reputation management company is not just to build and maintain a positive reputation for the target company but also they are responsible for removing any negative publicity.

Through the effective reputation of steemit,you can build a clear and positive public perception about it.

Through Trading

This I have done some couple of times using binance, bittrex, binance to exchange for other coins. The more we buy other coins and exchange for steem the higher it's value and popularity.
This inturn will cause a higher inflow in the rates of newbies.

Through fliers and Billboards

Billboards can be mounted on major cities this will encourage people to tell them that Steemit is legit and also the use of fliers during events, this will help promote steemit and invite new members in a very large way.

The more you promote steem, the higher the new members and the greater the value of SBD.
