Marketing is simple, you pay money, you get users. Anything that does not cost is called PR.
Look at the TikTok app, that's been around since 2012, but it's only once they started advertising it on other apps that they started to grow exponentially, to the point that they now have over 900 million users.
The community doing little things on Twitter and telling friends and family, or advertising on billboards by the highway, will bring a negligible amount of people in.
If Steemit inc spend money to market, the Steemit community will grow, if it doesn't it won't.
Best places to advertise:
Google
Facebook
Twitter
Instagram
In-App advertising (similar apps)
I have been saying this for 3 years now, one day, someone might actually listen.

That makes sense but does not solve the problem : how do you retain users.
de eso se encargarían las comunidades ya establecidas para educar a los nuevos miembros
lo siguiente es que nuevos usuarios vienen con la esperanza de ganar dinero rápido así como llegan se van cuando ven otra realidad
Very true, user retention is all about the experience we give users after sign up, that's a whole other article! :-)
