Introduction

Almost everything being made easier for us to accomplish our goals more easily is through technology which has birthed so many social media platforms. Thanks to @solaymann for giving us a contest title as this. Let's escape from boredom, get ready to learn as we begin the journey now😆

What is your favorite social media platform to promote Steemit?

Facebook. This is one of the platforms, if not the only platform that has the highest number of users. On Facebook, it is very easy to reach a wide number of people you both know, and do not know to enlighten or create awareness about Steemit. Although there are other platforms like WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, snapchat and the rest, I feel Facebook is more congested than the others.

Why did you choose this social media platform to promote Steemit?

There are friends who visit people's walls to see their posts and they could learn a thing or two there. Tagging of persons in a post can promote the number of reach, and those who share these posts there are making it even more easier to reach a population. This is one of the networking sites that do not requires a person's contact or link to connect with another user, unlike other platforms. For instance, WhatsApp needs a person's accurate phone number to be able to link up with that person, if a number or digit is mistaken, then it's automatically a wrong number and a wrong receiver. But all you need on facebook is to make your post and whoever comes across it reads it with no difficulty to have to search for you. Although Fave Book has some of its demerits like hacking a person's account, it's still the most used social media. This is because persons who can't afford android, iphones, tablets or computers can access Facebook with their smaller phones, but it's the direct opposite with any other instant messaging app or social media.

How important do you think it is to share your posts on other social media platforms to increase the popularity of Steemit?

It is very important. There are so many social media users out there who do not know that Steemit is one of them. By making posts on other social media platforms, they would go a long way in promoting and increasing the popularity of Steemit. With this, the growth on Steemit would be massive. There are several handles of social media today, if people are able to make use of these to promote Steemit, the result would be so good. The core reason for all these platforms is for communication. We communicate through other platforms to pull in users to steemit.

How do you promote the Steemit platform

I talk to friends about it. I usually have a face-to-face talk with most of them, which they're still trying to consider the platform. I haven't posted it on my social media handles yet because I didn't think about it. But now that I know, I'd look into that. I remember trying to write in my school's cafeteria one day and the person who sat by my side asked what Steemit was all about. That's how I started educating her about the platform. But she couldn't join because she didn't have an android.

Conclusion

Social media is a global village that accomodate everyone and links us all together. It is left to us to take advantage of this opportunity to reach others for good. And one of the ways of doing this is to promote Steemit.

Would like to invite @okere-blessing, @anthony002, and @spanky-dollar to participate in the contest.
