I think Steemit would have more success buying ads directly from influencers in which you pay influencers to post something (or even a few somethings, spread out) about Steemit.com and Steem. I have a feeling that these twitter ads wont convert well, imo.
Paying an influencer and tapping into their existing community to spread your message has far better conversion rates and also allows you to get a more complex message across. Just my two cents. With a bit of luck and good communication, you could also potentially even get a few influencers to start cross-posting to Steem.

Influencers are by far the cheapest way to get more users here and definitely would convert better. We've had plenty of them stopping by on the platform, but most have moved on because they don't get much attention. I've suggested in the past to Steemit Inc that they could provide some encouragement; maybe one day they will get serious about this strategy.
100%. Steemit has a myriad of ways to offer encouragement to influencers who use/promote Steemit and the Steem blockchain:
...
Again, all of this should be done with some sort of guidelines that are clearly laid out for the influencer... X posts per week for Y number of weeks for Z payment/delegation/upvotes.
Steemit is in an incredible position to onboard quality and engaging “mid-size” influencers from Twitter, IG and elsewhere because of the tools at their disposal. It’s a matter of using these tools correctly and with the right influencers.

Yeah it would be nice if @ned actually woke up and started using tools like @steemtaskr but its a shame him and @andrarchy never seem to want to do any real work to promote steemit, nor does ned want to grow up and start subsidizing free instant accounts, and realize that no one is going to BUY an account for a social media platform that MUST be free and always has been always will be.
Ned just HAS To pay and no one wants to hear any nonsense about how its a liability to pay to create new users, no sorry its no liability to ensure the future of your social network, because there is no other way at the moment until Ned pays someone like @pharesim to upgrade his https;//Steeminvite.com to allow whales to pool their SP for free Blockchain subsidized account creation on mass. Until that ius created Ned MUST subsidize free account creation again or steemit will be stunted forever and never recover. We have until June before the` Block One MEOS announcement by @dan who is the CREATOR of Styeem/STEEMIt and has SAID he is IMAGINING STEM and that Steemit is running out of time
We still have trevon james. (just kidding)
That seems like a decent use of resources to me as well.
I also agree with this. It's not like we arent already massively spamming Twitter everyday as is. We need more bang for your buck and more loyalty
This.
