Which city are you in? Do you mainly recruit in your city?

I'm in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State Nigeria!
Yes yes I used to recruit in my city, last year we really took Steem promo to the next level, but I relented effort this year because as you rightly said the Steemit team are kind of losing interest in promo because so many users were cheating, right now I do promo on a low-key, I focus on professionals as you rightly said, I mean those who will add value to the platform. I recruited one person this week, he's a teacher and will soon write his introductory post. I also have a teacher friend who's very much interested in Steemit and I hope to sign her up soon.
