I just bought an ad on Reddit to promote Steemit! My first try was rejected because of URL in the headline! (I overreacted & assumed steemit was on a blacklist XD) Here is the reddit ad creation process TAKE 2 Thanks to @JerryBanfield for inspiration!
So I just did a Post about my Paid Steemit ad $12 a day to runon reddit.com, which you can read about here:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@ackza/i-just-bought-a-steemit-ad-on-reddit-it-s-pending-approval-and-then-will-be-on-crypto-related-subreddits-here-s-my-reddit-ad
And then my ad was rejected and i didnt kno why so I jumpd to the conclusion that they just didnt like steemit or had us on a blacklist and its logical they wouldn't want to help a competitor OR maybe the fact that I have the ad saying "get paid to upvote" might lead reddit "ad"mins assume i'm trying to promote a scheme to pay people for their REDDIT upvotes so i made the ad clear that its steemit upvotes I am taking about! ANyway I made a post about how they rejected my ad here:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@ackza/reddit-rejected-my-steemit-ad-i-submitted-to-be-displayed-in-reddit-com-r-bitcoin-and-reddit-com-r-cryptocurrency-etc-we-might
Ok so I over reacted and i apologize! Anyway I recently got an email from Reddit Ads saying "remove URl from ad headline" which I did and here are the screenshots of the process so you can all become familiar with the very easy to use and almost fun process of creating and buying ads on reddit!
Now the headline is :
"Steemit pays you to Post, Comment, even to upvote! Steem is a blockchain social media site like Reddit with bitcoin built in! Imagine a decentralized reddit, with its own cryptocurrency & where no one can ban you or delete your posts! Come check out the thousands of dollars I've earned since March!"
AND I changed the ad to now go directly to my steemit page so people can see how I am making money off the posts ABOUT the ads on reddit to best illustrate how magical and clever steemit really is to incentivize its users to go out and pay for ads out of pocket and allow users like me and @jerrybanfield to fund the ads from our steemit rewards off posts ABOUT the ads in a blockchain crowdfunding strategy that I am honored to be apart of!
OK so here is how the Ad will look on reddit as a paid ad or promoted post up at the top of the page!
And here is how it will look on Mobile
And here is the Mobile Compact version
Ok so Im clicking continue and Will try this again!
OK so Now I am just awaiting approval! Wish me luck! I will use the money from upvots on this post to fund more steemit adsd on reddit and other platforms like Facebook and Youtube! I got this idea from @jerrybanfield who is now doing posts on results of his recent ad campaign, and you can see his most recent post from 4 hours ago here:
https://steemit.com/growth-projects/@jerrybanfield/1-035-858-facebook-users-discover-steem-for-usd1-008-91
And as you can see @jerrybanfield is creating ads on facebook that promote steemit AND his own steemit blog gaining himself followers and gaining steemit new users! Jerry is a great leader in this front and if we all paid for ads like the $12 ads on reddit I just paid to promote steemit, or if you start with a small $10 ad on facebook and make a post about it on steemit, steemit will help to pay you back the money you spent on the ads for steemit! In this way steemit is pioneering the concept of users funded advertising and marketing for a decentralized autonomous organization which steemit definitely is! Now more and more aspects of steemit are decentralized including the marketing and advertising! Now we can all get paid to help promote steemit!
Thanks for reading and I hope to hear about your thoughts on this in the comments! And the money from the upvotes on this post will go towards more Ads on social media for promoting steemit to the masses! Also speaking of "Steemit-To-The_MAsses" thats another hashtag being used by @tj4real to promote steemit in Africa and Id love for you to check his blog out and to go upvote posts on http://steemit.com/trending/Africa to sprinkle some money into the African user base of steemit, you can find a lot of up and coming leaders who, when you help them make money, they become a beacon of hope for the african people around them in their cities, they see African people like @tj4real and @bania and @mcsaam and @ortigas100 and @ogoowinner and @xpency making money online using steemit and a whole continent starts to see Steemit as their favorite place online!
And if you are in San Diego
(Thanks to @tytran for the Steemit T shirt and the Vectorized image of myself! He recently bought $4000 in steempower and is doing a generous giveaway about the Mcgregor and Mayweather fight and is giving out over $150 in SBD today mostly to new users who guessed who would win! I want to thank him for the ethereum mining rg he gave me to play with mining new coins, and other local steemit users @higomoex for the Ethereum/bytecoin mining rig he gave me and local san diego steemit user @silverbit for the nano ledger S he gave me as a gift for Bitcoin advice, and I helped these guys with Bitcoin advice and getting them into steemit and I know @tytran is happy with the $4000 in steempower I convinced him to buy and which he waited to buiy around $1 since we are getting close to $2 and should see $2 in a week from now!
Everyone here with a good knowledge of crypto or desire to learn should post a craigslist ad like I did about making money with Bitcoin and mining crypto and earning via Steemit. Here is the link https://post.craigslist.org/manage/6265837691 Just check this out!
This craigslist ad has been useful for generating "bitcoin leads" or people interested in Bitcoin that just call, txt and email me sometimes one new person everyday, and when i renew the ad (Craigslist lets you click "renew" instead of people just making new ads to get to the top) it gets even more visible and I'll probably get a new person calling or texting me today from the ad now that its renewed! if you would like you can use mine as a template to make you own similar one for your local area and if you talk to me, I can even let call me up wen you're with someone and you need questions answered. Create your own local Bitcoin School or Bitcoin Club where you can promote steemit too, and you too can meet very high quality local people interested in riding this crypto wave of wealth with you! You may not have money to invest but you CAN find someone locally in your city or village who will be very interested in piggybacking off all the the experience you have gained, allowing you to help someone who DOES have money to invest, and when you help people double or triple their money in a short amount of time they will most likely want to give you a little bonus!
This is a great way you can earn extra income by basically becoming a concurrency consultant in your local area because with Bitcoin there is no central help desk. There's no tech support so there is a HUGE demand a NEED for local face to face crypto tech support and in this scary world of crypto there's usually no one there to hold your hand so YOU can be that person to come hold their hands and meet face to face IN PERSON to help people learn crypto-currency! And then when you show them Bitcoin you get them signed up to Steemit! Cal or text me with my number below or email, if you need advice on setting up your own local Bitcoin Club and if you are ever in a group of people and they're looking to you for answers and you're stuck, call me and Ill be there on speaker phone to be the local expert on call! And I'll ask someone on the SteemSpeak discord channel if there are any questions I cant answer! ;)
If you have questions about bitcoin steemit crypto or making money mining or marketing, feel free to email me [email protected] or text/call me (619) 302 0398 and....
Follow @Ackza
There's my name in lights again...keep up the good work. Aloha
Zach told me about you when I visited him last weekend. We should meet and compare notes about mining.
hell yeah man maybe I can even get @gigafart here to show people what a few people can do on steemit when we combine the upvote forces $1 + upvotes really get people's attention! Its something i could even make its own post about so anyone making comments here can get some extra visibility !
We can all earn a good amount by doing simple reposting onto instagram! I am going to just take @tytran advice and pay for a facebook ad and i will just use the original steemit animation and just pay for that to be on facebook! id like to pay $100 in facebook ads I have made off my recent pots! this one is up to $39! I bet I can get some, if i can make that in
@JerryBanfield special thanks for inspiration
Great job @ackza! Fingers crossed it gets accepted this time (maybe we ARE on a blacklist and they were just pretending it was having a link in the title to jerk you around. Just kidding, it's just a prank bro).
100% upvote for u and nice u got an upvote from @jesta who made beta.chainbb.com u ever use it? organizes steemit like oldschool forums
Do one on FB!
I will don't worry I have it on its way, its just going to either be a simple video, made on Fivver, an animation, it will be like this original steemit ad OR maybe Ill just use this one!
But I would like to make a new one that is a lot more simple and i think the original steemit animation was too early to be accurate, now we have a much clearer vision of steemit and I think I could use the example of reddit plus bitcoin as a much better way to explain steemit to the masses because the masses get social media and the idea of getting lost of likes or upvotes, its social currency! Views on youtube, its the same thing so imagine when social media users find out that a Like on steemit = money holy shit this this steem is gonna up being worth so much money man ...maaan your smart to have gotten into steemit its going to pay off, as everyone holds their steem no one sells and steem price goes up and we can expect $2 steem very soon and then $4 steem and then its just a steady interest we will earn outperforming the stock market like every crypto
For me, I feel honored just by being on the ground floor of something like this. You have saved me thousands by convincing me to buy Steem Power instead of keeping Steems. I have more stuff coming your way buddy.
Nice man! yes make sure you are using up those upvotes heres ur current voting power from steemnow.com
DUDE so you're letting in charge up on purpose right? your gonna wait til you have $2 upvotes to give out? ya man u will be able to make yourself and friends a lt of money from just upvoting comments now! and thats ur right as a steam power investor, its the whole point of steem mining!
ur basically just a steemit miner! eventually i can become a witness and show you how to become a witness and you will start making $250 a day of steem for Mining steem
Not a bad idea. Im going to give it a try. What do you think the return on that 12 bucks will be?? 1 million dollars bwahahahaha nice post. Thanx bud.
