RE: MARKETING STEEM # 1 : Do we need a Steem PR service?
I believe that any work to inform people about Steem is very necessary. Even if all the plagiarists, fraudsters, bots disappeared from Steem and there were 100 extremely talented authors left, this closed elite club would not attract the attention of investors, and therefore, over time, these authors would receive rewards that would not be worth anything.
I'm trying to promote Steem on Instagram. At first it was quite a promising project. We had a team and everything looked clear. But it turned out that everything is not so simple. Many difficulties arose. In addition, the lack of additional profit, I think, did not allow to keep this team.
Now I continue the work on my own, but it is not very effective. First, you need quality professional video content. Ideally, you need an influencer who will talk about their experience on Steem. Such content can be obtained by paying for its production. Secondly, it is necessary to quickly spread the right information. This requires a ready-made network of bloggers or mass media.
I strongly believe that it would be good to order a promotion campaign for Steem from professionals. It may cost several thousand dollars, but it will be worth it.
As for your suggestion, I think it is excellent. It's worth a try. Even if it seems difficult at first, you never know how things will turn out.
Social media marketing and promotion is definitely important and useful but it does need a specific set of resources.
Thank you for your support for a PR campaign.
