"Steemit Twitter Marketing Campaign" - Update #8

Hey Steemit/Twitter Freedom Fighters!

We're chugging right along and making consistent progress with the campaign. In January 2018 (two months ago) we launched this long-term "Steemit Twitter Marketing Campaign" as another FRONT in the MISSION to spread Steemit throughout the MULTIVERSE. I, "Captain @transcript-junky" am at the HELM - as "grand facilitator" - using my ADVANCED "Gong Fu Twitter" marketing techniques to DIRECT and COORDINATE the growing TEAM of Steemians and Twitterians who are contributing to this effort. I am a true believer that Twitter is the MOST POWERFUL "traditional" social media tool at our disposal to implement this campaign, as I have learned through EXPERIENCE and ACTION through running my main Twitter account : https://twitter.com/TranscriptJunky (as well as two client Twitter and /or Steemit accounts : including https://twitter.com/BitcoinsNGravy) for SEVERAL YEARS. One of the MOST POWERFUL features of Twitter is that it is an "open" network, which means that unlike most of the other social media platforms (where people need to gain PERMISSION (ex. send/accept a "friend request" to consume/share content) Twitter content is available for the WHOLE WORLD to see (for better or worse ;->). The last few updates drew in some POWER-PLAYERS who have begun contributing their VALUABLE talents and network leveraging to further the mission, and the future is looking UBER-BRIGHT. I am STEADILY monitoring the Steemit-related activity on Twitter, and attempting to bring new contributors and content into the fold on a daily basis. My main focus right now is providing an ADEQUATE - yet DIGESTIBLE - amount of ACTIONABLE information and resources in these updates - a task easier said than done; but a project in the works (as is life in general). I judge the results of this campaign on the TANGIBLE results which arise out of these updates (in the form of productive Steemit-Twitter activity related to the campaign - including : ReTweets, ReSteems, new followers, etc.). This is my primary focus.

As usual, I am in the process of figuring out ways to adequately CONSOLIDATE the information presented in these updates, so that readers can assimilate some/all of the information presented in a relatively comfortable manner. Take what works for you, and leave the rest. There are no rules, assumptions, requirements, etc. for using the information in these updates. I'm finding it best to compose these updates in shorter daily spurts, while I also engage with Twitter, so that the workflow is comfortable and productive. Also, since roaming around the "developing world" on a mountain bike has a tendency to be a bit unstable (in terms of internet connectivity and time/energy resources) I think it may be best to begin referring to these campaign updates by SIMPLE NUMBER, instead of "weekly", so that if I need to skip a week it won't reflect badly on the image/reputation of the campaign. Please be aware, though, that my ultimate INTENTION is to produce these updates weekly. You all know the old saying, "Not enough hours in the day..."

The previous campaign Update #7 earned : 0.606 STEEM, 2.717 SBD and 2.654 STEEM POWER , and along with my finance strategy for this campaign I have gone ahead and used the SBD proceeds to purchase points on Steemfollower, HOWEVER, I did so in a more indirect, and strategic, manner in that one of the main accounts which I am using/leveraging to promote this campaign is @mixedmentalarts, and since we are just getting started building that profile I sent 3.600 SBD of the proceeds from Update #7 to the @mixedmentalarts profile, AND THEN purchased 3.554 SBD of points from SteemFollower through that account. The record of that is found on the @mixedmentalarts wallet page : https://steemit.com/@mixedmentalarts/transfers , and the entries are : Transfer 3.600 SBD from transcript-junky and Transfer 3.554 SBD to steemfollower I4hLC5EARkQgXjt. The 2.654 Steem Power income form Update #7 has been FULLY powered-up to my account to add ADDITIONAL boost to the effort, as well as some incentive for me to maximize results. Let me also make a HUGE shout-out here to @mahdiyari ( the creator, maintainer, and Steemit witness) of SteemFollower for providing this EXCELLENT tool by which those of us who post regularly can earn a decent amount of steady income on our posts while building our followings and developing our longer term efforts (like this Steemit-Twitter campaign effort) withuot having to stress too much over the $$$ side of things.. SteemFollower was down for a few weeks this month, and the loss of this important source of support, community, and income was felt significantly. It's great that the upgrade of SteemFollower is continuing to proceed, and that the older version has been made available again so that those of us who benefit from it can continue focusing on producing quality content instead of post promotion.

Finally, ANY efforts you all can assist (in terms of upvotes/follows/ReSteems) are MUCH appreciated, and will help out EVERYONE who is contributing to this campaign, as well as to the Steemit platform as a whole, by extension. I am also in the process of adding new types of valuable data to these updates as those become valuable/practical, and PRUNING OUT those which are less productive, AND I am finding that it is helpful to update the post in REAL-TIME while the post is active and new people respond and contribute to the effort, instead of having to wait until the next update post to further mobilize the effort. This gives new people incentive to contribute to the campaign IMMEDIATELY. In this way, the campaign is CONSTANTLY moving forward in real-time. Also keep in mind that I am making a continuous effort to provide the ACTUAL Twitter content in these updates (related to the campaign) in a form which makes it EASY for anyone to Re-Tweet the content with one or two clicks from this post, and so these weekly updates are essentially INTERACTIVE in nature, and should be utilized as such.

Thanks to EVERYONE who has become interested and involved in the campaign so far. The future is looking SUPER-bright for us all...

Update #8 "Twitter Steemit Promotion Campaign" News :

(1) I am CONTINUING to comb the Twitterverse for HIGH-OCTANE Steemians posting with the tag #promosteem :

https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=%23promosteem

and evaluating the quality of their Twitter/Steemit content, and adding the "interesting**" profiles to the "Steemit Promotion" Twitter list at :

https://twitter.com/TranscriptJunky/lists/steemit-promotion

In addition, I have added the new trending hashags : #JoinSteemit and #Deletfacebook to the mix of "Twitter Scanning" hashtags. The "Facebook meltdown" in the past week has been a HUGE boon to our campaign effort, as many disgruntled Facebook users are now searching for a better social media platform solution. We are making a consistent effort to catch these folks on "the rebound".

Please feel free to subscribe to the above Twitter list and Re-Tweet any/all of the Steemit-related GIF posts (and other tweet content) there to help boost the exposure of Steem and Steemit in the Twitterverse.

(2) In addition, I have ALSO directed some of my DAILY Twitter "hashtag scouring" activities towards creativity-related topics (ex. Steemians who create original artistic content : musicians, poets, artists) including tags such as #dsound :

https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=%23dsound

This week I again focused on the #dsound hashtag in addition to #promosteem, as #Dsound is proving to be the most consistent in providing quality original music which I can easily tweet out as part of the campaign. I am finding the #Dsound tag to provide a significant number of original creative works (ex. songs, podcasts) created by Steemians all under one convenient hashtag. #DTube is also good, but the TYPE of content posted there is NOT AS practical (and more random) for the main purpose of this campaign, and so more time is waste scouring that hashtag. So I am focusing primarily on #Dsound, but also checking #Dtube every few days to hopefully find some gems worthy of tweeting out. However, on the #Dtube front I am CONSISTENTLY tweeting out the archived podcast episodes from @bitcoinsandgravy and @mixedmentalarts, along with all the JUICY Steemit-Twitter promot hashtags, so I think this adequately covers Dtube as well.

[DISCLAIMER] The addition of Twitter/Steemit profiles to the above Twitter list is NOT an endorsement of their content. From an EDITORIAL/MARKETING perspective, the goal is to ASSEMBLE a powerful group of TALENTED people who are MOST ACTIVELY promoting Steemit (especially via Twitter). The various people in the group will SURELY not agree on political, religious, etc., issues. For the purpose of THIS CAMPAIGN, however, I deem the people on this list to be valuable in terms of moving the campaign forward. In the true blockchain-based spirit of Steemit my goal is to NOT have to remove people from the list UNLESS there is a SUBSTANTIAL argument made by a significant majority of group members that this would be a FEASIBLE option for maximizing the efficiency of the overall mission. HOPEFULLY, we won't have to "go there", and can stay focused on the MAIN goal of this campaign, which is : harnessing the POWER of Twitter to increase the overall exposure and growth of Steemit. [/DISCLAIMER]

Here are some of the new HIGH-OCTANE Steemians added to the campaign Twitter list this week. Feel free to check out their Twitter and Steemit content and support them as we all WORK TOGETHER to build the MOMENTUM of the campaign :

With the recent ACCELERATED DEMISE of Facebook (smell ya' later) there has been some excellent activity around the Twitter hashtags : "DeleteFacebook" and "JoinSteemit". I am PLUCKING some of the great profiles and content from these tags while they are hot. More on this below, but I see this as a BIG window of opportunity to draw people to Steemit as Facebook moved further into the "digital graveyard".

(3) As mentioned above, aside from the new creative works I find via the #Dsound Twitter hashtag, I have begun MORE CONSISTENTLY tweeting out the original content from my two podcast related clients (who each now have Steemit accounts). I am trying to post one podcast from each of these account every OTHER day, and use the campaign Steemit promotion hashtags to help give the campaign a steady presence and boost. Here are two examples of posts made from these profiles since the last update. Please feel free to follow these profiles on Steemit and/or Twitter :

Mixed Mental Arts" Episode #324: Knowing You're an Ape – Chris Ryan https://steemit.com/sex/@mixedmentalarts/utilkxc8 #Steemit #Dtube #Deletefacebook #MeToo #MixedMentalArts @mixedmentalarts @huntermaats @unvariedmdlssc @HuntersPug

"Bitcoins & Gravy" : Episode EP #91: Internet of Coins – Linking Our Digital Value Systems! (3/18/2017) https://steemit.com/blockchain/@bitcoinsandgravy/p5ynsbpn #blockchain #bitcoin #fintech #fintech #Altcoins #Steemit #JoinSteemit #DeleteFacebook
https://twitter.com/TranscriptJunky/status/981339267652763648

These two profiles provide enough archived content to post consistently for this campaign, and then allow me to pepper into the mix some of the new, interesting original creative Steemit works I find on Twitter.

I am gradually continuing to explore more of the key (Steemit) art/media related Twitter hashtags, such as #Dsound, #Dtube, #Dlive and others, to find more artists who are creating original works on Steemit (and related Steemit media sites) to be able to tweet out more of these valuable posts as part of the campaign. I will likely explore ONE new hashtag per weekly update into the future to expand the range of the effort, as time/energy allow.

Here is one of the most recent tweets of an original Dsound song I sent out as part of the campaign :

A.I. Emotions |||||| Experimental ambient steemit.com/dsound/@juliak… #Steemit #JoinSteemit #DeleteFacebook #AI #Dsound #musicians #electronicmusic #ambient #art
https://twitter.com/TranscriptJunky/status/982059717437505536

@juliakponsford
https://twitter.com/juliakponsford

If you are a Steemit artist (or have any recommendations of Steemit artists whose content can be tweeted out) please leave their profile info in the comments section. People on Twitter respond VERY WELL to original music, video, etc. and so we should take advantage of this to help build momentum.

(4) I am continuing to compose and tweet out some STRATEGICALLY-designed tweets whose copy is written with the intended function of drawing in some new HIGH-OCTANE, NON-Steemit writers (and other content creators) from Twitter(and other traditional social media) to Steemit. The new Facebook meltdown is a gift which keeps on giving, and I have composed and am BLASTING out this BEAUTY of a tweet to try and draw people from Facebook over to Steemit Here is that tweet in action (with its tweet URL) :

You are ALL free (and ENCOURAGED) to copy and use this tweets to help draw new people in. I ESPECIALLY urge you to BLAST this specific tweet out there into the virtual universe while the current EXODUS from Facebook is in full force.

These upvotes are VERY MUCH appreciated, and what I have decided to do is allocate a percentage of the total earnings from these weekly update posts to buy points on SteemFollower, which will help boost the exposure of these posts (since, for instance, a $20+ upvote from @d-pend (and other Steemit "power-players") came in on through the SteemFollower platform). I will ALSO make an effort to purchase those SteemFollower points from the SteemFollower members who make such large upvotes, so that there is a further reciprocity and incentive to upvote these weekly campaign update posts into the future, as part of the upvote amount is cycled BACK to the generous upvoters. In this way we all work together for the greater good, and all benefit from the campaign ;->

If you would like to get involved with this campaign in ANY WAY please let us know via the comments section of this post and/or email me directly at : [email protected]. Also, feel free to share your own ideas on how we can leverage the Twitter platform to help expand the reach of Steemit to the wider internet public. I will be adding data and/or sections to this weekly update as the campaign evolves. The more people we can mobilize in this effort the more powerful will be the results, and since Twitter is an "open" network, those results will grow in a NON-LINEAR manner...

Full Steem Ahead!
