RE: LetsTalk—Results From Leveraging Facebook To Promote Steemit Content!
Great article and very relevant towards my efforts lately as well. Here is what I am doing and learning about the whole Steemit to Facebook game. Maybe it will encourage those concerned with post engagements.
Recently I created a page for Steemit users myself called Steemit Blogger Central. The concept is pretty simple, RESTEEM users posts in order to help the community get more exposure from mainstreamers and to connect other users to them. The page as well is a slight Trojan Horse concept to use the mainstream social media site to gain new sign ups for Steemit under their nose. So far so great on my end. Every day its growing, still small but engagements are increasing every hour on the hour. Where I started with a few post reaches its now an average of a 100 or so a post. Now in this area I also run a popular horror page for a decade there that has 20K LIKES and engagement is a double edged sword with Facebook because they downplay reaches in order to get you wanting to pay for their highly over priced ad campaigns. I use them now and then but there is tricks around there algorithm downplays for post reaches.
What you have to do is be selective in the amount of posting you do a day. I found if you constantly post a few an hour your reaches will halt a lot. So to get around this I have always been active in facebook groups. I will use my personal page to take Steemit Blogger Central and reshare my posts to relevant groups. This in turn increases reaches and tends to open up the system some to fight the downplays in place. Why I have no clue but seems to work because my horror page users seems to never miss a post to this day and without boosting my posts.
All in all, using the social media platforms is a great tactic for growth here, we just have to work around the systems and keep vigilant to use them to our advantage. Keep up the great work my friend, glad I am not alone in doing this lately.
If your curious my pages are on Facebook and Twitter for you to check out:

Just remember they view our pages as a way for them to make money, gotta keep promoting them in order to not feed the machine.
Those are some interesting findings and strategy that you use. Thank you. I'll post a follow up to this after a month or so of testing and see how it plays out in the interim! Thank you for reading and your detailed comment. :)
I found along the way letting the automated system work for you engagements is always with brick walls when it comes to Facebook. Putting the foot to the floor kind of pushes out there so people can see your posts is always effective. Takes a lot of extra effort but it engages people for some reason to keep swinging by to check your stuff. Key is to get them to feel use for the page and keep a flow of communication going. Give it a shot, let me know how it goes for you. Seems so far to be working for me, every day its getting more and more hectic with Steemit Blogger Central lol....anything that can keep me from feeding that FB ad machine is a blessing. All the best, really appreciate what your doing for the community
