Is it worth it to promote a post on Steemit?
Well, here are my result...
A few days ago, I decided to run a promotion for one of my blog post. One of my main reasons for being here, is to promote my webcomic: Adventures with Capt'n Heroic. (Even though I really like the platform now that I'm here). So I promoted the Intro page to my comic.
I promoted my page for 3 Steem Dollars. I first tried 1, then 2, but it ended up taking 3 Steem Dollars to get it on the first page view of the promoted post in Art. This in USD cost me about $30.
Well, my Promotion has ended, and I'll be honest. For my particular promotion, this was not worth it.. at all.
I'm not sure if it has to do with my post being a webcomic and webcomics aren't that hot on Steemit, or if it's this way with all promotions. I highly doubt I will try it again with this type of content any time soon, however I may try it with a different type of content eventually.
In total, I paid $3 SD and got back $.06 SD from the original promoted post.
