@stefan.molyneux so glad to see you here on SteemIt.
Here is a quick tip for someone of your stature;
invite your following DIRECTLY. The organic building of a following from SteemIt is not so good right now. Also, you should deal directly with @ned or someone from SteemIt Inc. by way of an interview. Maybe that way we could all get a little more info on why the Builders of SteemIt essentially ruined the platform by stealing half of the cryptocurrency right up front. You'd be a great resource for exposing SteemIt.
Thank you and SteemON!
