Within hours of changing my Twitter Profile I had a number of people contact me, including a budding Songwriter looking for a place to promote his work

Wow. really glad to see the overwhelming response you received after changing your Linked in & Twitter profile. I already smell a great success for your new and unique way to promote steem. Hopefully it will be a big success. You already done a lot of great things for this community.
Steemit has a definite potential not only achieving 500 billion USD market but also have tendency to have many more than 500 billion USD. It's a platform with so many great projects. like DTube, Dlive, Steepshot etc. so the chances of success is great. All we need to do is the proper marketing and give awareness to those people around the world who are un aware of this platform. @stephenkendal you are doing this job really well Hopefully #steemtalent will promote steem exponenttially. keep it up proud of you Stephen
