Thanks to Tom @zanoni for the comment that prompted my reply.

My reply reads..

Thanks Tom

I think it's more simple than that.

#Steem is a Social Media application and it's target market is Social Media.

The "Route to Market" for #Steem is sat right in-front of our eyes, it's just that most people are blind to see it.

More often than not, the best form of Marketing and taking any product to market is to use the tools you already have available and keep things simple.

Most Marketing Campaigns fail, simply because they are over complicated and often leave people less willing to engage.

#Steem doesn't need any fancy Marketing Professional, it simply needs to leverage what it already has and that's a Community that it is passionate, willing, capable, ready and hungry to succeed.

Sadly though, there is still very little appetite to want to Market and Promote #Steem and hopefully this appetite will change.

Are people over complicating things?

Marketing and Promoting any product is not rocket science, it just needs x3 fundamental elements identified.

  1. Target Market
  2. Tools available
  3. Route to Market

With these answered, any product can be taken to any market and #Steem is no different.

Marketing and Promoting Steem. Is the Community missing a trick? I think so!

It's a simple question.

When it comes to Marketing and Promoting #Steem .... is the Community missing a trick?

I think so!

Thanks again for reading and watching.

You have a good audience on Steem, if we take a look at the comments, we can see how many people are interested 🙄
And that's the problem...

I would be good if they showed the viewed count on articles again. At least then we know we were getting eyeballs from outside of Steem.

I really think that a site like steemportal.com should do nothing but provide an attractive, organized way for visitors to explore the Steem ecosystem... sort of the yahoo of the steem blockchain
