STEEMIT: I am sticking to my Minimum Projected Target of 650,000 Accounts by Year End, but I think we NEED a lot more MARKETING..!!
ACCOUNTS PER DAY - 2017
Recently I set a projected Minimum Target of 650,000 Accounts by Year End, and currently I am still sticking by it.
HOWEVER, this is dependant on ONE THING..............MARKETING..!!
Regular Readers of my Blog will know that recently I have increased the #promo-uk budget from £1,200 to a £12,000 annual rolling budget and this is money that is coming straight out of my own pocket.
As the #promo-uk Crowdsourced Marketing and Promotions Initiative gets underway, it will only be successful with the full support of the Community.
Increasing the budget to £12,000 may sound like a lot of money to some, but in the overall scheme of things, it is pocket change.
Crowdsourcing the Marketing & Promotion of STEEMIT and the STEEM ECOSYSTEM is a stroke of genius and is something I have been banging on about for a few months now.
Taking any product to market is all about timing and I strongly believe that this time is NOW..!!
Our window of opportunity opened around April and this window will not be open indefinitely.
Anyone who thinks that it will be ok to be sat here at the end of 2018 and looking at <1m Users are sadly mistaken.
The momentum has begun and it is our job as a Collective Community to keep this momentum going.
It is up to each and every one of us to support the Marketing and Promotion of STEEMIT and I fear that without this collective spirit of support it will do nothing more but drift.
Marketing and Promotion is all about taking your Product to the Market today, go back tomorrow, and repeat it for the lifetime of your Product.
Anyone who thinks that Marketing and Promoting a Product is a "ONE HIT" process will be sadly disappointed.
Take Coca Cola for instance. It was created in 1892 and still after 125 years later they are still out on the streets handing out free Coca Cola to keep their market alive.
As we Market and Promote STEEMIT we should all embrace this part of the life-cycle process of STEEMIT with open arms, as without this crucial and critical part of the process my fear is that it will simply drift along.
So is 650,000 Accounts achievable by the End of the Year?
Yes, but only with a SUCCESSFUL Marketing and Promotions Campaign.
Thanks again for reading.

I make sure to promote Steemit at the end of every video I make now, to 27,500 subscribers. Will be interviewing none other than Ron Paul today which will bring in a lot of traffic and will be interviewing lots of Senators, Congressmen and well known public figures in Las Vegas this next week.
I've been trying to get every well known YouTuber I know to do the same lately. So much potential there. For them & especially for Steemit!
Keep up the great work Stephen! Loving your year end projection!
AWESOME..!! Well done. Looking forward to seeing the interview with Ron Paul. Keep up the great work Josh. Stephen
Will you willing to reward me to promote steemit in Singapore,no need much. 10SBD for 10 person?
I will prove to you if you pay me
The goal is too small imho. We need to think bigger. I would put higher focus on improving the platform.
If its built correctly the masses will follow with far less wasted promotional dollars.
Where's the list of upcoming improvements to Steemit ?
I'm wary of this promotional mindset, because its been used by less-than-honest schemes before. Not to imply that Steemit is some shady organization, just that an "in your face" promotional effort could backfire.
I'd prefer word-of-mouth and some subtle social media campaigns. Let the platform speak for itself, as it were.
But if you feel the need to plaster utility poles with posters and hand out buttons and stickers, well, that's your choice. I just think its a bit over the top, and honestly -- given the promise of the platform -- mostly unnecessary.
Steemit will succeed or fail on its own merits, not just because it has dedicated marketers.
effectiveness wise, its wasted money, been there done that.
Wow really cool. I am waiting to see others.
Wow it's so incredible Mr. @stephenkendal !!

Are there similar initiatives underway in places other than UK?
The 6 Part Crowdsourced Marketing Proposal that #promo-uk is based on can be replicated in any Country and I am happy for anyone to copy it. Thanks for the support. Stephen
We will get there my friend.. Currently working on a Facebook campaign, we've been seeing some great success!
Check it out: Steemit Facebook Advertising Campaign
650,000 Accounts is alot, however i think it is very achieveable.
I came across my own projections that steemit will begin to follow a natural curve of growth in the next 3 years.
And Steemit ranking is growing pretty fast aswell.
im keeping my eyes on it! 👀
