There is a small group of us Steemit users that are looking to do big things here. However not having the reputation is holding us back to some degree. As a way to get past this new comer stage as fast as we can and to build reputation quickly, I created a facebook group where members can share Steemit posts for others to comment, upvote, and resteem. This will help us because friends as well as boost our steemit engagement.

Welcome here Diabetic-man :) Nice post, i will follow your account, please follow me at @mekong
Unfortunately I'd have to disagree. This offer is doomed to fail and this is why. First Facebook groups of nature are rampant with spam. Don't believe me get yourself into one of the YouTube groups with this very same message. You'll find nothing but links with f4f and people mad that their f4f unfollowed. Second this idea of f4f has never gotten anyone noticed. The key is producing good content, steem has the added benefit of if the right person sees your page a click of the button could mean hundreds of dollars. When they see your page what will they find? Quality content you spent all day preparing or what can be seen as Facebook spam.
Thats exactly what you did. Anyway this isnt a follow for follow group. And a second point the group is a place to share your Steemit content. I'm not sure what your talking about. But you are wrong in this case.
Maybe not now, but it will be. What I'm talking about is an attempt to help you. You haven't posted your own content in 9 days, and the first thing you post is pulling people away from the site only to drag them back. Just look at the numbers, I found you one of the first days I had steem. Both of us where new to the platform. You presented me with this idea and I went along with it until a few days later when I seen the pattern emerging. One day you'll find that a large portion of the members of your group will drop their link and run never to return until they want to drop another link. I've even seen people that have set up bots in these groups that reply with their link anytime anything is said. It's a problem and it looks like spam. Your putting a lot of effort into this idea, if you where to redirect that effort to creating content for this site instead of feeding Facebook you might see my point.
I really believe you think what your telling me makes sense. If you look in the bottom corner you see a few social media icons. These icons are part of the sites design. The creators of steemit added these icons which allow users to share their content to either facebook, twitter or linked in. You were not a loyal part of the group that is true. You did not get any value because of this. Those that are engaged in the group and upvote and resteem like the group is meant for do get value out of it as others that appreciate the engagement returns the favor. I am sorry it didnt workout for you.
The group didn't have value for me because I left the group shortly after joining. Yes steem has these other social media outlets available much like how YouTube has the same, but just because an option is there doesn't mean it's a good idea to use it. The fact still remains that thousands of votes from users of low steem (minnows) can never compare to the value of 1 vote from somebody with crazy high steem (whale). It will do you almost no good to attract the low end with this empty promise. The real growth happens when a whale clicks your upvote button and your rep goes up 5 points and your wallet is padded with hundreds of dollars. It's quality not quantity, low quality content will get you ignored possible flagged by these whales. If you don't want to listen to it that's fine.
In the world I live in, I like to call it the real world. We dont sit around and wait for the right person to give us success. We go out and create it for our selfs. Sharing our content with our facebook group does not affect the quality of the content. The quality of the content has nothing to do with it being shared on facebook or any of the social media given to us by the developers of steemit. The users ability to create solid content is not hindered by sharing. I'm not sure how else to say it. The fact that content is being shared to facebook does not take away the possibility that a "whale" as you put it, which I find offensive to trivialize users, anyway sharing does not stop users with high reputation from finding or upvoting said content.
Unfortunately we are not in the real world we are in the internet world. A world where millions are out there begging for attention. I'm not saying you should "sit around", I'm suggesting you reevaluate the way your going about it. Also I'm not saying other outlets are not valuable, I'm saying the intention of an action is typically irrelevant to the way it's viewed by those who are using steem because they don't want to use facebook. It was not me that created the term whale, it's of the communities creation. You can't honestly expect me to believe you think my use of "whale" is some how derogatory.

Great post, Resteemed and Upvoted.
Sounds like a solid plan. The key is to keep everyone actively engaged and held accountable for upvoting and reblogging each other post. Im going to check out the group. I have one on facebook as well where we discuss cryptocurrency.
Dude, so meta. Now we need to get #steemfacebookgroup trending, followed by a facebook group for the #steemfacebookgroup hashtag on Steemit!
Followed You back from Facebook, thanks @nicnicy
