DOES STEEMIT NEED PROMOTION?

Dear Steemians, your opinions are highly appreciated, you're welcome!

So the question is - if Steemit needs promotion (I mean Eastern Europe now), or it's rather popular in other countries, and there is no need to attract new non-English speaking users.

I know, our platform gets more and more popularity in the world, and such giants like India and China fell in love with it as well, so does it need more users from Eastern Europe, and particularly Russia, or not?

I had this idea when I made some notes about blockchain in my page in the social web and added an interview there to know if people in my city and in Russia in general know what it is.
The results showed that in my city nobody knows what it is.
In bigger cities of Russia the situation is different, I suppose, but I'm sure still many people just can't imagine what it is like and for what.

I know, and you know that there is Golos, the Russian clon of Steemit, and it's more logical for Russian-speaking users to enter that platform, not Steemit.

But it's not so simple, I must admit:

1. Golos has another atmosphere
   I know it for sure, because I was there for 3 months, I became a Dolphin but I had to leave it and started my new page in Steemit without any support and friends, and the reason was in atmoshere there.

2. Steemit is more friendly. MUCH more friendly!

3. Steemit is a great opportunity to develop English skills.
It's a great wish of many Russians, because English is studied by almost all young people, but lack of coomunication makes these skills "dead" very fast (I know it from my own experience)

4. Steemit is MUCH more interesting because its geography covers the whole planet!

So I had an idea to use online promotion at first - advertisments in the social web communities.

I had an online shop that was created as one of such communities, and I know for sure that it works fine. No other way of ads doesn't work so well (I tried many of them).

People spend much time scrolling walls of communities, and these ads really have a great audience and attention, they're widely used for many kinds of business and promotions.

I can try it in some communities, if it works for Steemit, we can use many of them to attract more people.

It costs money as any kind of ads, and I'm ready to pay for it because Steemit has become my life and my way of earning some money for my dream now, and I think we should not ony take but give something back as well.

I've some ideas about offline promo as well, but I live not in a big city, and online promo can give more results for the start.

I don't know, maybe my idea is stupid and naive, and the platform doesn't need such activity, I can take it, because it's just my thinking out loud:)

SO I ask you, friends, is my idea worth of attention or not.

Should we make such promotion here or it's waste of time?

what do you think?
