Hey Steemit/Twitter Freedom Fighters!
We're chugging right along and making consistent progress with this "Steemit-Twitter Marketing Campaign". I, "Captain @transcript-junky", am at the HELM - the "grand facilitator" - using my ADVANCED "Gong Fu Twitter" marketing techniques to DIRECT and COORDINATE the growing TEAM of Steemians and Twitterians who are contributing to this effort. I am a true believer that Twitter is the MOST POWERFUL "traditional" social media tool at our disposal to implement this campaign and achieve LONG-TERM progress, as I have learned through EXPERIENCE and ACTION in running SEVERAL Twitter and/or Steemit accounts, including : https://twitter.com/TranscriptJunky , as well as two client accounts : including https://twitter.com/BitcoinsNGravy) for SEVERAL YEARS. One of the MOST POWERFUL features of Twitter is that it is an "open" network, which means that unlike most of the other social media platforms (where people need to gain PERMISSION (ex. send/accept a "friend request" to consume/share content) Twitter content is available for the WHOLE WORLD to see (for better or worse ;->). Each new campaign update is drawing in some additional POWER-PLAYERS on Steemit and Twitter who have begun contributing their UNIQUE and VALUABLE talents and network-leveraging to further the mission, and the future is looking UBER-BRIGHT. I am STEADILY monitoring the Steemit-related activity on Twitter, and attempting to bring new contributors and content into the fold on a daily basis. My main focus right now is providing an ADEQUATE - yet DIGESTIBLE - amount of ACTIONABLE information and resources to you in these updates - a task easier said than done; but a project in the works (as is life in general). I judge the results of this campaign on the TANGIBLE results which arise out of these updates (in the form of productive Steemit-Twitter activity related to the campaign - including : ReTweets, ReSteems, likes, new followers, etc.). This is my primary focus.
As usual, I am in the process of figuring out ways to adequately CONSOLIDATE the information presented in these updates, so that readers can assimilate some/all of the information presented in a relatively comfortable manner, as well as put it into IMMEDIATE ACTION.. Due to the LONG nature of these updates, it is NOT expected that you will read them all in one sitting. Take your time with them, and click through and share some of the resources made available here (ex. tweets of campaign-related content, profiles of people contributing to the campaign, etc.) Take what works for you, and leave the rest. There are no rules, assumptions, requirements, etc. for using the information in these updates. I'm finding it best to compose these updates in shorter daily spurts, while I also engage with Twitter, so that the workflow is comfortably manageable, and productive. In other words, this is a LARGE task for ME (the campaign manager) AS WELL AS for the reader. But in the end the results will be WELL worth the effort for everyone.
The previous campaign Update #10 earned : 7.269 SBD and 2.472 SP (Steem Power), and along with my standard finance strategy for this campaign I have gone ahead and used most of the SBD proceeds (2.949 SBD plus 2.949 SBD = 5.898 SBD (split between two buy transactions) worth) to purchase points on Steemfollower :

These points will help further promote these campaign posts to reach a larger audience and earn more $$$ per post. Let me also make a HUGE shout-out here to @mahdiyari ( the creator, maintainer, and Steemit witness) of SteemFollower for providing this EXCELLENT tool by which those of us who post regularly can earn a decent amount of steady income on our posts while building our followings and developing our longer term efforts (like this Steemit-Twitter campaign effort) without having to stress too much over the $$$ side of things.
Finally, ANY efforts you all can assist (in terms of upvotes/follows/ReSteems/ReTweets/advice-feedback) are MUCH appreciated, and will help out EVERYONE who is contributing to this campaign, as well as to the Steemit platform as a whole, by extension. I am also in the process of adding new types of valuable data to these updates as those become valuable/practical, and PRUNING OUT those which are less relevant/productive, AND I am finding that it is helpful to update the post in REAL-TIME while the post is active and new people respond and contribute to the effort, instead of having to wait until the next update post to further mobilize the effort. This gives new people incentive to contribute to the campaign IMMEDIATELY. In this way, the campaign is CONSTANTLY moving forward in real-time. Also keep in mind that I am making a continuous effort to provide the ACTUAL Twitter content in these updates (related to the campaign) in a form which makes it EASY for anyone to Re-Tweet the content with one or two clicks from this post (using screenshots of the content whenever possible to add to the aesthetic appeal of these updates), and so these weekly updates are essentially INTERACTIVE in nature, and should be utilized as such.
Thanks to EVERYONE who has become interested and involved in the campaign so far. The future is looking SUPER-bright for us all...
Campaign Progress Update
- I am CONTINUING to comb the Twitterverse for HIGH-OCTANE Steemians posting with the tag #promosteem :
https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=%23promosteem
and evaluating the quality of their Twitter/Steemit content, and adding the "interesting**" profiles to the "Steemit Promotion" Twitter list at :
https://twitter.com/TranscriptJunky/lists/steemit-promotion
.png)
In addition, I have added the new trending hashtags : #JoinSteemit and #Deletefacebook to the mix of "Twitter Scanning" hashtags. The recent meltdown of Facebook, and mass censorship issue of general traditional social media platforms, has been a HUGE boon to our campaign effort, as many disgruntled Facebook and YouTube users are now searching for better social media solutions. We are making a consistent effort to catch these folks on "the rebound".
Please feel free to subscribe to the above Twitter list and Re-Tweet any/all of the Steemit-related GIF posts (and other tweet content) there to help boost the exposure of Steem and Steemit in the Twitterverse.
(2) In addition, I have ALSO directed some of my DAILY Twitter "hashtag scouring" activities towards creativity-related topics (ex. Steemians who create original artistic content : musicians, poets, artists, podcasters) posted in the #dsound tag :
https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=%23dsound
I am continuing to focus primarily on #Dsound as it is proving to be the most consistent in providing quality original content which I can easily tweet out as part of the campaign. The #Dsound tag provides a significant number of original creative works (ex. original music compositions, spoken word poetry, podcasts, etc.) created by Steemians, and all under one convenient hashtag. #DTube is also good, but the TYPE of content posted there is NOT AS practical (and more random) for the main purpose of this campaign, and so more time is waste scouring that hashtag. So I am focusing primarily on #Dsound, but also checking #Dtube every few days to hopefully find some gems worthy of tweeting out. However, on the #Dtube front I am CONSISTENTLY tweeting out the archived podcast episodes from my main podcastnig clients : @bitcoinsandgravy, @mixedmentalarts, and the "Future Fossils" podcast ( @michaelgarfield) along with the growing collection of JUICY Steemit-Twitter promote hashtags, so I think this adequately covers Dtube as well.
[DISCLAIMER] The addition of Twitter/Steemit profiles to the above Twitter list is NOT an endorsement of their content OR opinions. From an EDITORIAL/MARKETING perspective, the goal is to ASSEMBLE a powerful group of TALENTED people who are MOST ACTIVELY promoting Steemit (especially via Twitter) and will help increase the progress of the campaign.[/DISCLAIMER]
Here are some of the new HIGH-OCTANE Steemians added to the campaign Twitter list this week (as a result of engaging with and/or upvoting the campaign content. Feel free to check out their Twitter and Steemit content and support them as we all WORK TOGETHER to build the MOMENTUM of the campaign :

(3) As mentioned above, aside from the new creative works I find via the #Dsound Twitter hashtag, I have begun MORE CONSISTENTLY tweeting out the original content from my podcast clients. The good news is that I have begun a new collaboration (as marketing manager/consultant) on the "Future Fossils" podcast ( with host : @michaelgrafield ), and can now incorporate this third, FINE, production in the campaign posting mix. I am trying to post ONE podcasts from each of these main accounts each week (so basically one every other day), then post them in Steemit Chat and Discord, and use the campaign Steemit promotion hashtags to help give the campaign (and the hashtags) a steady presence and boost. Here are three of this week's examples of posts made from these profiles since the last update. Please feel free to follow these profile on Steemit and/or Twitter, and share their content :
.png)
I've also launched a new series from the @bitcoinsandgravy account called "Tending Bitcoin News". The posts in this series will be published twice per week, and will draw in some more upvote income, and new followers, to be used as additional funding for this campaign. Here is the most recent post in that series :
.png)
I am finding that podcasts are an especially high-quality type of content to share, as they concentrate a LOT of information in one shared piece of content. I am going to be especially on the lookout for some more high-quality podcast productions to integrate into the mix. The three profiles (above) provide enough archived content to post consistently for this campaign, and then allow me to pepper into the mix some of the new, additional interesting original creative Steemit works I find on Twitter. I think we have now reached an adequate level of regular content, so that is a nice accomplishment for the campaign.
I am gradually continuing to explore more of the key (Steemit) art/media related Twitter hashtags, such as #Dsound, #Dtube, #Dlive and others, to find more artists who are creating original works on Steemit (and related Steemit media sites) to be able to tweet out more of these valuable posts as part of the campaign. I will likely explore ONE new hashtag per weekly update into the future to expand the range of the effort, as time/energy allow.
Here is one of the most recent tweets of an original Dsound song I sent out as part of the campaign :
.png)
I have also found some good response from sending out some of my own Steemit photo-poetry tweets, which allows me to hit some of the juicy hashtags related to photography, poetry and art. These are quick posts which people can easily consume and share, and so they are a powerful addition to the campaign. I will integrate some more photo posts into the mix going forward. Allow me to SHAMELESSLY provide an example of my recent poetry-photography post which is part of the campaign effort :
.png)
If you are a Steemit artist (or have any recommendations of Steemit artists whose content can be tweeted out) please leave their profile info in the comments section. People on Twitter respond VERY WELL to original music, video, etc. and so we should take advantage of this to help build momentum.
(4) I am continuing to compose and tweet out some STRATEGICALLY-designed tweets whose copy is written with the intended function of drawing in some new HIGH-OCTANE, NON-Steemit writers (and other content creators) from Twitter (and other traditional social media) to Steemit. The recent overall progressive MELTDOWN of traditional social media platforms (ex. Facebook, YouTube) is a gift which keeps on giving, and I have composed - and am continuing to compose - tweets intended to try and draw people from Facebook, YouTube, etc. over to Steemit. Here are TWO such tweet in action (with their tweet URLs) :

.png)
You are ALL free (and ENCOURAGED) to copy and use this tweets (and EVEN MODIFY them) to help draw new people in. I ESPECIALLY urge you to BLAST this specific tweet out there into the virtual universe while the current EXODUS from Facebook and YouTube is in full force.
(5) I'm continuing to build a list of some of the most powerful Steemit promotion-related hashtags currently being used on Twitter, and testing them for their effectiveness. Here is the updated version of the ongoing list :

These upvotes are VERY MUCH appreciated, and what I have decided to do is allocate a percentage of the total earnings from these weekly update posts to buy points on SteemFollower, which will help boost the exposure of these posts (since, for instance, a $20+ upvote from @d-pend (and other Steemit "power-players") came in on through the SteemFollower platform). I will ALSO make an effort to purchase those SteemFollower points from the SteemFollower members who make such large upvotes, so that there is a further reciprocity and incentive to upvote these weekly campaign update posts into the future, as part of the upvote amount is cycled BACK to the generous upvoters. In this way we all work together for the greater good, and all benefit from the campaign ;->

** I intend to occassionally divert a portion of reinvested SBD per campaign update alternately to the : @transcript-junky , @mixedmentalarts , and @bitcoinsandgravy SteemFollower accounts to help boost the overall momentum of those profiles, which will ultimately help the campaign significantly into the future (due to their mass of high-quality podcast content and entertainment industry reputations). This small cost will easily be returned as a result of the combined income from this content, so it's a sound investment of the earnings.
If you would like to get involved with this campaign in ANY WAY please let us know via the comments section of this post and/or email me directly at : [email protected]. Also, feel free to share your own ideas on how we can leverage the Twitter platform to help expand the reach of Steemit to the wider internet public. I will be adding data and/or sections to this weekly update as the campaign evolves. The more people we can mobilize in this effort the more powerful will be the results, and since Twitter is an "open" network, those results will grow in a NON-LINEAR manner...
Full Steem Ahead!
