Lol I'm happy to be talking to people like you, you've got a lot good insight!
What you're saying about gaining a following on instagram and facebook is about what I had guessed and I'm not sure my content is professional enough to make the effort worth it at this stage, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future. It makes sense clients would want to see followings on more traditional platforms.
Have you promoted steemit to your instagram/fb followers at all and if so did you notice any meaningful growth on this platform?
Btw thanks for taking the time to respond.
I have tried with steemit but its too hard for instagram. Hence I am hopeful for appics which will be more of the user experience for IG and they are putting a lot of effort into simplifying the sign up etc.
