1. Bittrex Adds STEEM / USDT Trading Pair

@vipnata was first to report the surprise news that the Bittrex exchange has added a STEEM / USDT trading pair.

They already had the usual STEEM / BTC pair...

@jrcornel followed up to add more to the story...



2. Promo Steem is Booming

@arie.steem reports on the rapid growth of the Promo Steem Community and gives a round-up of all the Promo Steem activity that is happening at the moment...

Long time Promo Steem backer @stephenkendal is delighted with progress...



3. Steem Advertising is Booming Too

It started a few weeks back with @remlaps and @arie.steem's first forays into advertising Steem on Facebook.

Now it is spreading into other platforms with @naufal experimenting with advertising on Instagram and @pojan on Twitter...


@pojan has also been developing short promotional videos to use on other social media...


It will be really good if all the people running these advertising campaigns can come together to compare notes, see what works and what doesn't and maybe come up with a social media advertising strategy for other communities and other countries.



4. Steem Meetups are on the Up and Up as well

With the various Steem meetups that have been taking place recently particularly in south east Asia @ponpase has been looking at Google search data to see what impact they might have had...


@jassennessaj has posted a report on the very successful Promo Steem virtual meetup he and @julstamban organised recently in the Philippines...



5. SPUD4STEEM coming soon on 1 May

SPUD4STEEM coordinator @kiwiscanfly has posted a reminder that the next Steem Power Up Day is coming up on 1 May.

Courtesy of the event sponsors there is 21,000 SP of delegation available to the winners so well worth buying in STEEM and hitting the Power Up button...

This will be the 12 month anniversary since @kiwiscanfly took over the running of this event so congratulations and thanks to him for all the hard work he has put into SPUD4STEEM.



6. New Art Community - ARTSteemit

@veta-less and @mister-omortson have set up ARTSteemit - a new community for artists on Steem...



7. Steem.Amal Meetings

Program Manager @el-nailul has posted official reports of two recent meetings of Steem.Amal - first the board meeting, and secondly a meeting about the Foods for 30 Orphans program in collaboration with CISAH...

A general update for the Steem for Better Life (Steem.Amal) program was published recently...



8. Say Hello Again to Steem Invite

@greece-lover has rebuilt @pharesim's deactivated Steem Invite as Steem-Hello.

This is another option to get a quick signup, anonymous account with a small delegation.

@greece-lover, together with @steem-bootcamp and @nesomi, will be using this to do Steem promotions particularly to strengthen the German-speaking on the platform again...



9. 10% off Clothes bought with STEEM

@sogata is running a promotion in his clothing store in Indonesia offering a 10% discount off any purchases made with STEEM or SBD.

His store, iLeven Distro, is in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, and sells all kinds of men's clothing including t-shirts, shirts, pants, wallets, jackets, hair oil, and sandals.

It will be great to see other shops, cafes, restaurants accepting STEEM as payment.

Anyone know of any?



10. Guides & How To's

Sri Lanka Country Rep @randulakoralage gives very good advice for people recruiting newcomers to the platform...

Ghana Country Rep @njaywan discusses the main mistakes newcomers should avoid...

Venezuela Country Rep @edlili24 follows up with some good tips for things that you should not do on Steem...

@crearte from the Draft Crearte Community reminds people why it is important to power up to build your stake and play a greater part in the community...

Great write up

Que bueno que se estén haciendo tantos avances en promocionar steemit. Es el momento apropiado.

Voy a echarle un ojo a todo ese contenido por qué me interesa.

Tus noticias como siempre geniales para ponerme al día.

Veo que siempre anuncias nuevas comunidades, yo estoy intentando crear una pero no sé si Hay que seguir alguna regla o notificarlo en algún lugar... Sería genial que me asesoras al respecto tienes una gran experiencia.

I like that new Art community. It's a good way to go cause WorldOfXpilar has been saturated.
The addition of USDT pairing with steem is very good.
Thanks for the update.
