That's a nice initiative! congratulations!
Some large stakeholders are very involved in the ecosystem. You'd be surprised how up-to-date some of the quiet whales actually are. I would also recommend approaching Orcas (medium-sized accounts) to tell them about your project. Many Orcas are incredibly supportive of activities that add value to HIVE.
Here are some of my articles on the importance of Orcas:
Thanks!
The promotions mostly result in delegstions, which is great, but since I give 80% returns of curation rewards, the account itself almost doesn’t grow.I've been promoting @topcomment quite a bit in several ways already. I haven't targeted hivers with high stakes specifically. I'm promoting it on Snaps and even had a small talk on the Hive Humpday Hangout podcast.
I do create a weekly post that gives some transparency on the upvoted posts by the team and the top 20 most upvoted users, but that post does not get a lot of rewards. The @topcomment account is fairly new and doesn’t have a lot of followers.
I'm a bit hesitant to contact high stake users to ask for their votes.
It would be nice if there were a sort of shark tank with orcas and whales where people could pitch their projects (pun intended 😉).
