I Just Spent $24.487 SBD On Promotion WILL IT WORK? : Investigative Report : Day One!
Does Promotion Work?
Ok So I have tried promoting a post before and with no surprise it wasn't really a success but I didn't blame it solely on the platform. I only spent about $4 SBD on promotion and it didn't even get me close to the top of any of my post categories.
So I figured I would give it a fair shot this time??
Lets make It Rain!
Ok so I didn't go to crazy with money, plus I just started so I'm not that heavy with funds at the moment. What I did was slowly increase the promotion amount I was willing to spend to get to the top of the categories my post is currently in. I started with $8 sbd and I thought that might be enough, but wow. It only got me on the list but not close to the top at all. So I continued to pay more until I reach the results I wanted.
Here is the Post I'm promoting. (Check It Out)
Overall I spent $24.487 SBD on promotion.
Before Promoting The Post
(Good Luck Little Guy)
What Did $24.487 SBD Get Me??
We ll it did get me to number one on a few tags so this might be enough to test this promotion out after all! I'm just glad it didn't take more then that. But note this, it still only got me to 12 place on main Promoted charts! I can't imagine how much you need to pay to get on top there??
Art Promoted Charts
Drawing Promoted Charts
Photography Promoted Charts
So What Now?
Well I just sit back and watch this thing fail and I loose some good coin, or it starts to pick up and I at least get my money invested back?? I hope a post containing some useful resources for fellow steemers was a good choice for this promotion tes report series, I would assume so but. We know the old saying about that right! I will be back with a new report every 3 days to see how things are going, so if you are interested in this like I am. Stick around and maybe this will save you some BUCKS or who knows we all find out if it's WORTH IT OR NOT!

You sir are a Marter for all
I believe in the gambling phrase
"You gotta spend money to make money"
But I dont have the balls to do that here:)
Good luck to you and your endeavors!!
Thank, you glad this will become a big help!
I was wondering about this myself. Looking forward to hearing your results.
Boldly going where no Steemian is willing to put their SBD's. I hope you at least make your investment back. I tried promoting a post (with less than one SBD) and so no benefit at all. I guess I wasn't as brave as you. 25 SBD, take the dive and hope you don't hit the bottom! Steem on! @ironshield
TRUST ME I'M WORRIED! lol! Should be insightful though!
Write another post with your results! Maybe my voting power will be back enough by then to upvote you! @ironshield
will do
I've always found the best way to promote a post was to simply go around commenting on other posts. If your comment is interesting enough, then it may direct people to say 'Who is this guy?' At which point they go see your blog and are inundated with all your wild and crazy posts. Hell, it might even work. Just remember, read the post so your response is actually insightful and relevant. Can't wait to see if your experiment pays off.
Yes, I to go about this way as well. Thanks for the tip! This really helps!
Perhaps the minnowsupportproject is a better promotion than that promotion!
Thats how its done you have to test market ;-) Good job and thank you for sharing!
What I'm here To DO!
Test test test Thats what marketing is tweek tweek!
You are crazy but I like ^^
I guess I am a BIT CRAZY!
Worth a try! I had a go in the past with little success too!
I wanted to try this, but I was afraid it would be a grat fail. Thank you for taking the risk for me.
no problem! Just wanted to see how this goes!
