Everyone would have noticed the new promote button at the bottom of there post page, have you thought about pressing it and paying to have your post placed on the promotion page in hope to get a few more reads and followers. I said I wouldn't do it BUT then I wouldn't know what I was talking about and If I gave it a try then I could possibly advise people if they asked.

I decided to promote myself on my last post
https://steemit.com/disabled/@karenb54/living-with-a-disability
I got 13 reads plus quite good interactions and made $0.08 So for me NO it wasn't worth it, I paid $5 to promote it, well I thought if I was going to do it I might as well give it a real go **I definitely will not be doing it again.
MY PROMOTED POST
I went to search for my post on the promoted page, I had to scroll for ages to find my post, it was so far down there was no way members are going to scroll that far to check out a page SO I gather you have to pay quite a bit to get placed at the top, I really didn't stand a chance and wasted my hard earned $5.
I think the Promote button is really focused at the richer members, the ones who have made money and can afford to spend $$$$ without a second thought.
I think the only way we the Minnows are going to benefit from the Promote button is if other members Promote our posts for us.
If you see a post that you think should have more attention would you press the button to Promote them, I know I couldn't afford to Promote others if there not going to get the best positions, Promoting the post for it to land at the bottom is a total waste of money. If you know different please tell me

We need to help each other more and the best way to do that is to read more, try and read a few on your feed and help the members you follow, try and read more new posts.
Stemmit is not just about writing its about reading too and leaving good comments.
THE MORE WHALES WE HAVE THE MORE WE HAVE HELPING THE MINNOWS
