This is a community challenge post and a report on my routine advertisement campaign. The challenge is being organized by @dragonslayer109 who is in charge of the #africaunited community. Do well to join. There are many ways to killing a cat but among the many ways lies the most convenient one. To me the most appropriate way to promote steemit is to find a person who is genuinely interested in the project. I have had many ups and downs in my promotion activity. One core element to the failure of most newbies is the lack of passion. Most newbies of-course are fed with only the goodies of steemit and upon signing up fail to realize that it takes time to build on the platform

APPROACHING CAMPAIGNS DIFFERENTLY
So i started campaigning differently. Though the methods used for mass campaign cannot eliminate newbies steemicide( Dying on steemit), i have devised some means to reduce it which i am going to share with the community.
As a steemit ambassador, you are just an information bearer, not a politician. You just have to lay down the facts for your audience to make a decision. If you give too little information, you end up looking like you deceived your audience and if you give too much information on the go, you end up becoming boring. So you make it as simple as possible by giving them the name of the website, what the website does and you give them your contact to ask you any questions that they want. Personally, i am often asked where and how do i get paid. If i am to answer every how do i receive my money to the 100 hundreds of people that i relay this information to, I will never get time for myself. So i basically forward them articles on that to make it simple for me.
NOTE
So a promoter needs to be armed with good and simple FAQ articles that he can forward to newbies who need clarification. Now that i have talked about the little but important aspects of promoting steemit, i will proceed to the main methods of promoting steemit to families. First thing that families want to see is success. You don't have to be a promoter before you start to promote steemit. Your success on steemit is an indication that there is treasure on steemit. So make your success know and it will draw people closer. But if you have dedicated your time and have passion to promote steemit, there are simple known activities you can partake in with little knowledge.
