It is in our interest to see as many Steemit users as possible!
I have just read a very interesting and encouraging post from @pennsif with interesting news related to the Steem platform. You can find the post right here if you haven't seen it yet.
The article is packed with information about how some people are advertising Steem on Facebook, while others are using funds to advertise Steemit on Instagram in Venezuela. Others are spreading the word about Steemit on campuses in Nigeria, and there are quite a lot of national communities, including a brand new for Colombia which is supported by @josevas217 (whom we all know well here in Project Hope).
And to be honest, one of the coolest things in the article was how a guy in Mauritius who is active on Steemit is allowing customers to pay for their food with Steem tokens or SBD tokens. That is just cool. Check out the post from @progressivechef right here to look and get hungry for some grilled chicken with salad and fries! I just finished my lunch and feel full, but I would still love to taste it! :)
But, that leads me to my question - Why is it in our interest for Steemit to go mainstream and to be used by as many people as possible?
Why do we need to and why do we want to spread the word?
Maybe you like the platform the way it is today. Yes, it is awesome, and we are all enjoying the benefits of the platform. But, can you imagine what would happen if even more people came to the platform? There would be more articles, more comments, and more quality content. What would be the result? More and more people would discover Steemit as a platform for high-quality content, and they would come here regularly to read... not only bloggers but common readers.
Where are the bloggers on Steemit with skills and knowledge about cars? Wouldn't that be cool if car enthusiasts would come here to read about the newest and coolest cars and maybe even read about tests done with them?
Who is blogging about science, medicine, football, pets, gardening, climate change, and so much more? I know, there are tons of articles on these topics here already, but the more, and the higher quality, the better!
Can you imagine... with more users, the rewards will spread out, and the value of the token will also increase. After all, more people will want to invest in the platform, will want to use the platform, and as they see the value of the platform, even big whales will want to invest more.
So, new users and fuzz about Steemit online and on social media platforms is definitely needed. And one more thing... it is a great platform, so we have nothing to be ashamed about. It is not like we are doing ads for a restaurant with terrible food and high prices. No, we are doing "ads" for a platform with an awesome product (even though the design could have been fresher and some functions would need to be added) and with low prices. In fact, it is free - but with possibilities of great profit!
So, let us share the word, and hope to see lots of new users come to Steem in the future!
Hello @unbiasedwriter
Thank you very much for the mention. I'll go read that penssif post right now, he is certainly an influential character, so he must bring important information. To which I join. Two weeks ago I dared to open a youtube channel, in which I am explaining step by step how to get started in steemit. Of course, my language is Spanish, my English is still intermediate to be able to express myself adequately in video, but I'm working hard on it.
Here is the link in case you are interested in taking a look.

I agree, steemit is still growing, we know that this kind of projects take time to develop properly, but it's on the right track, that's the important thing.
I am even trying to organize with several people in my community to introduce them to this platform.
So now is the time for good things to come....
and always contemplating that it is something for the medium or long term.
Wow, cool to see you in the video on YouTube, even though I don't understand a word of what you are saying! But looks good with the white background and you speaking in front and everything!
I hope you will have success in Colombia and that you will see lots of new people come to the platform, and that there will be other great initiatives as well in other countries and on other continents that will help the word of the platform spread!
Thank you friend @unbiasedwriter for visiting my channel, it's important for me, we usually know each other through our writings, but we don't necessarily know each other visually, it's always nice. And because of the language, maybe later I can put the English subtitles to the videos, I think it would be good to do it, but, it's a big work and time dedication.
And of course, today I laughed with two people to tell them about the platform, we agreed that in a few days we would meet again, but already with several of their families to guide them. It was really nice.
Hey @josevas217 just watch your youtube video although i couldn't giving meaning to what you are saying in Spanish i love your confidence and composure keep up with the good vibes.
Thank you for the mention.
Glad you like Steem News.
Maybe we should start planning another SteemFest in Mauritius 😊
Oh man, I can already imagine the grilled chicken, the salad, the beaches, the sun... no COVID, and lots of awesome people! That for sure sounds amazing.
By the way, really like your daily news. I didn't know about it before I saw the ad on SteemWorld, but definitely awesome. Will follow your posts closely as of today!
Thank you
Oh Oh Oh...looks like you mentioned something really very interesting here...
Infact Mauritius is among the rare country/island where Covid19 is not so much harming us...and the government is looking for tourist to come back again!
This can be a great opportunity with Steemfest /Steemit... we can kill 2 birds with one stone!
Just imagine the marketing of steem here...while we party for Steemfest and same time help the country getting back some tourist!!!
If you can propose this to the top tier of Steemit/Steem...keep me in the loop.
Foodwise...you all know I am here to cater, and I even have some great contacts around the hotels!
Now I am dreaming abt it!!!
SteemFest has traditionally been organised by the community - rather than by Steemit Inc.
There will be a challenge for you !
I'll definitely try my best to bring in more people to the Steemit community from my location. The fact is that I brought in some people during the early stage probably around 5 years ago in which some of them had to quit due to the fact that they weren't rewarded for their content.
Some people made complaints about their little post payout or rewards after coming up with voluminous quality contents on the platform. I think everything seems to have changed these days though and it's best I invite them back.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead ❤️💕❤️
Hello friend, it would certainly be great that more people join Steemit, it is a platform that allows us to project our knowledge and can be read by thousands of people in the world, another very interesting aspect is that the price can be increased by the influx of people using the token.
Thank you very much for this excellent analysis, have a great week.
Hi @unbiasedwriter.
It is good to read this kind of content where the steem platform is increasingly recognized worldwide, and this pleases each one of us who are making life in it, personally I have almost 4 years in steem and actually has given me great benefits in every way, thanks friend for sharing such important content. Greetings.
The platform is really useful and it is stretching out a helping hand to content creators who would like to make an income while doing so. It has so much potential, so I really do hope more and more people will discover it!
I think we will get to a stage soon where SBD and steem will be used in the payment of some services. The gospel of steem needs to be spread all around the world
To be honest, Steem and SBD is way quicker and cheaper than any other currencies, so it is so much better to use for such transfers than Ethereum, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and so many others. It for sure has potential! :)
Yeah, I believe this will happen.
Hopefully, all the Steem promotion would lead to greater and quality content discovery on the platform. We have all got a part to play.
Greetings @ unbiased writer It will be very beneficial for everyone the more people you meet steem,first to know more cultures through their content and financially it will help by increasing token exchanges which can have an impact on the increase of Steem .
Thank you for sharing your publication
Thanks so much for the mention my friend!
You nailed it here!
I will go even further...with the next steemfest...we need to gather all the professionals already on the platform and make it happen...
For example...I'll take care of the food, someone else handle the service, another one with the hotel bookings etc...
I will keep on spreading the word more and more for sure.
We can make Steem/Steemit huge if we all put hands together.
This is so true! And it is great to make bonds with other people in other countries using the platform... and yes, it would be great to see a SteemFest in which these skills were taken advantage of in an even better way!
In Nigeria, I thought steem had no grounds, until I saw many groups involved in buying and selling of only major crypto coins, selling and buying steem, right then, I realized that steem is growing gradually in Nigeria. Very soon, I see steem and steemit, as a platform where everyone will want to be in. Great article @unbiasedwriter
Steemit has great potential everywhere, but maybe the most in countries in which the price level is lower - in which $1 actually means a difference in the daily life! And yes, the more people get to know about it and use it, I believe it will increase the value of the platform itself, and also give value to the lives of those using the platform!
It is surely adding a huge value in life around here. I just hope it stops dumping and start pumping again. I don't want to go back $0.1 or less.
