Tim, you don't have to abandon your followers on Facebook. What I'd suggest and what I do is to post here and just share everywhere else. You'll find almost all of my Steemit posts on my official fb page and on Minds. This way each of my posts has an exposure of thousands of people plus I advertise my presence on this decentralized network. And by the way, 1 SBD (SteemDollar) is today $5.34 (rising), so if you manage to get 5 - 10 SBD for your daily post it's actually a little money...
my thoughts exactly - I also share my Steemit posts on my pages on FB, but I am also sharing some of the best art found here on my Visionary Art Twitter account. On Twitter, most links don't show the image, but Steemit links do, which is perfect for me, because I do not like any of my Twitter posts without a image.
Like this post:
and on Facebook:
all it took me here is a couple of clicks to share elsewhere.
I also keep telling people to make Steemit their primary platform and share their stuff elsewhere with just a few clicks.

fb does not make a lot of sense any more after the muting of fb pages, you have to pay to get even seen. If somebody as an artist is having problems with the thought of monetizing their own content, then steemit is not the right place. Steemit is for people who want to be free and make money from blogging, content and art. But it is also about giving and taking. You have to give to get something back. Steemit makes a lot of fun 😊:)
Your strategy is obviously working well. Checked Minds, as I didn't even know about it so far. If I may ask a word of advice Peter.. what is the better option to sign up? Create a new account or click that "migrate from facebook"?
