The Benefits of Joining Communities Like SteemThat

It's often very hard as a new Steemit member to get your posts noticed and upvoted. You need every bit of help that you can get and that's where initiatives like SteemThat come in. By joining you will gain access to a community where everybody offers you their support and where you can promote your posts. This is not an upvote exchange, but your content will get upvoted if it's good and it stays visible longer than on Steemit.
