Well-done @lordjames, I reason with you, if I may ask, is facebook giving anything? No, so why steemians always go after earning? Let see steemit as we are in facebook and be expecting nothing from them. Let see earnings as plus, try and post good contents and see if people will appreciate it.

Anyway my suggestion for steemit promotion message is:

Come, blog, and improve yourself

If you keep writing good contents everyday, am telling you, you are helping yourself, because in the process, your writing skills is improving, if you bring whatever you are doing to steemit then you keep improving on it, because the more you practice is the more you improve.

So I suggest:
Come, blog, and improve yourself
