I'm wary of this promotional mindset, because its been used by less-than-honest schemes before. Not to imply that Steemit is some shady organization, just that an "in your face" promotional effort could backfire.

I'd prefer word-of-mouth and some subtle social media campaigns. Let the platform speak for itself, as it were.

But if you feel the need to plaster utility poles with posters and hand out buttons and stickers, well, that's your choice. I just think its a bit over the top, and honestly -- given the promise of the platform -- mostly unnecessary.

Steemit will succeed or fail on its own merits, not just because it has dedicated marketers.
