I've been thinking about starting another #payitforward initiative with a twist - and that's by dedicating a specific amount of time to one or two people, mentor them, make myself available to them for any steemit related questions, and even dedicate a portion of my post earnings to help boost their SP and vote power while gaining confidence in the site.
I've also been thinking about a t-shirt design to wear around town to help market Steemit. There's a lot we can do without spending fiat.
Now that I have some spare time (I'm in between jobs), I will be completely overhauling my website to include Steemit as well as my paid services. Maybe it's crazy thinking, but wouldn't it be great if Steemit actually had a referral system? My thought would be that you'd only get paid once your referrals hit certain milestones and not just upon sign up. But I'm full of ideas...and hot air. LOL
