@mellofello I had banners made up and spent $$$ on them

I went around putting these up on bridges for people to see, but everytime I did the local council would come and take them down.

I even pimped my car up with some decals

But I also got pulled up by the police and checked that I had the insurance to have them on my car :C

I was told that to have stuff like this put up in places you had to pay money which is a real kick in the teeth.

I was looking at radio advertising which sounded good at the time, I looked into that as I think this would be the biggest out reach program in the uk, then to have the prices emailed to me was a big shock, £38,000 for it to be aired 4 times a day for a week.

The only way to really promo steem right now is to do it word of mouth, or if we have an invester who has the money to put in loads of cash in advertising.
But saying that I am looking forward to what @timcliff has instore for us as it might brake the ground.

Social media is a great free way to promo steemit, it is free if we change our profile pictures for the day. but I think facebook would get wise and people could get warnings.

sorry for the essay, haha steem on my friend :D
