Active promotion of Steemit in social media

This week I spent some extra time promoting steemit on social media. I did publish some advertisements in the Facebook groups where I believe we can find new users.

Facebook groups

Choosing the groups, I wanted to maximize the chance that somebody will join our portal, so obviously I didn't spam in the communities dedicated to horse riding or modern dance. Instead, I focused on three types of groups:

• groups dedicated to cryptocurrency
• groups with job offers, especially homestay job offers
• groups for the writers and journalists

I have published 20 announcements in English, Spanish, and Polish, using the same text, which I am copying below and adding one of two graphics, I prepared a long time ago. I'm pretty sure you have seen it before, but as they work well, I don't see the reason to change them into something new.

Graphics which I added includes:

Both graphics were obviously prepared by me in Canva and I was describing them wildly in my previous posts. I'm glad to have them with me and use them sometimes to promote steemit on the Internet. Obviously, both are shared with you on a CC-0 license, so feel free to download them and distribute them with my full permission.

The message and graphics were shared in 20 Facebook groups. That includes:

Groups with job offers

• "BOLSA DE TRABAJO ROSARIO SANTA FE ARGENTINA"
• "Trabajo Rosario Avisos"
• "praca dla ludzi poszukujących pracy"
• "Legit Work from Home Jobs (PUBLIC)"
• "Praca w Domu Przez Internet - Praca Zdalna / Praca Online / Zarabanie"
• "work from home jobs for women's"
• "OFERTAS LABORALES DE CLASIFICADOS, CONSULTORAS Y EMPRESAS (Rosario)"
• "Praca W Domu Przez Neta"
• "TRABAJO en ROSARIO"
• "Praca online"

Writers groups

Crypto groups

• "Cryptocurrency Investing"

• "Earn Free Cryptocurrencies Online"

Polish target

As you can see, the majority of my publications include two groups - one of the Polish people, another of people who live in Rosario. Why is that?

I would like to create the Polish community on Steemit and even though right now the promotion is quite limited because due to pandemic restrictions I cannot leave Argentina and go to visit my motherland, I want to start the proper advertisement of Steemit there. I know that the task is rather difficult - Poles in most cases are choosing Hive instead of Steemit, but I believe that with the hard work creating the new community is possible.

Looking for Argentinian users

The second group targeted Argentinians, especially citizens of Rosario because I am here, I can help them directly, meet with them if it will be necessary, explain few things like I used to explain steemit to my friends before. The Argentinian community on Steemit is very poor. We have three CR's, own community, and huge economical crisis in the country so I'm surprised there are no more active users here.

I don't want to be rude, but using my right to the private opinion, I'd say it's because of the limited support in solving problems and promotion. Contacting on steemit or discord with CR's @fendit or especially @belenguerra, unfortunately, takes weeks. I experienced it twice: once when I had some questions before launching the "Steemit Weekly" project (in which, at the end of the day Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Venezuelan, and UK CRs helped me instead), another time recently when I was trying to resurrect LGBT community - it's the 12th day when I am waiting for the simple response... If I have such big problems with reaching them, I bet the same is with the new users who may feel lost in their first days on Steemit. Not getting any answer to their questions, obviously, they are becoming inactive after some time. I know I would if I didn't have a guide from more experienced users.

I didn't see any external promotion of steemit for Argentina, so I have decided to make my own promotion by sharing the news on social media and preparing the flyers with the graphics (it will be ready for Tuesday, I will be writing about the flyers campaign in my next week PromoSteem report). I plan also to announce some meetings once per month for all interested Rosarinos and make the training for them with the information on how to create the account, join steemit and become a successful blogger here.
