Make a twitter account, post your steemit articles there, pester your friends on wassap and telegram.
Get them engaged, use busy.org to post and use the busy tag they will give you an upvote for being beta tester / advertiser.
Create a discord channel, engage with other people from CH already on steemit, you will see is fun !
And in the end over the long term this will pay off!
I have nowhere as many followers as on Steem. Long live Steem!
I will test busy.org and make a Twitter account (at least to follow the crypto). You are a good adviser, thanks.
