RE: Steem Payout Patterns
Interesting observations. Do you think regular folks can make use of external platforms to achieve success or do you just need to be famous outside of Steemit?

Being well known on other social sites will definitely be of great benefit and may explain this weeks new entry to the top 10.
I think for regular people like ourselves the same mindset of self-promotion applies. If we look at people in the craft industry for example - say you have an etsy shop. To "advertise" your products you tweet about them, set up a tumblr, make a page on facebook, link it to friends on whatsapp, use G+ and so on. At the end of the day your little etsy shop has a lot of hits by the time any secondhand clicks or shares have happened. If we think of our steemit posts as that product, so long as we are comfortable with the self-promotion on other platforms it is a decent way for an account to gain traction and ultimately helps the community and value of steemit increase in the long run!
I agree with your points here. I also believe Steemit can be the glue that holds them all together. Build your Rep here and use it on other platforms, especially for building online businesses.
Yeah, thinking of Steemit as the binding agent is a good idea actually. I am investigating setting up an online business soon too and exploring all the options in terms of promotion is definitely good preparation I think :)
