@the-traveller I'm getting started on Steemit. I'm curious to know if you find more results my sharing things with people or telling things to people. I've read good articles but most are written with the author being an authority.
I just posted a blog sharing an amazing crypto-currency drama that I think most people will never know about and its free if they know about it on the app Crackle. I used my Steem Dollars to Promote it but since I am just working on generating Steem Power I'm not certain if anyone will discover it.

So far I have to conclude that Promotion does not work. Prizes also seem to have limited effect. Check out #Curie or voting trails.
On here you need a collaboration mindset. The most valuable is commenting on other posts adjacent to your topic and only after establishing meaningful connections mention your post if it seems to be interesting to the author and readers. If it is good people will re steem it...
