Post Promotion
I don't have huge marketing budgets. However, in my quest to master the dark arts of Steeming, I wrote this post about TrueFlip and I thought I'd see if I could give it a boost by promoting it. Here's the post. It's not a bad post and does contain a free LOTTERY TICKET for all readers ;)
Dufus, Duh & Doh
I may have got this wrong but I had read that even if you promote a post with 0.1 SBD it will show up on the promoted page. However, like Google I'm assuming nobody scrolls past the first 5-10 results. So anyway I promoted my post with a hefty 2.5 SBD, went to the promoted page for the first tag and it was nowhere to be seen. I scrolled and scrolled (past some hefty posts with 4 figure estimates) and I suddenly thought ? have I completely wasted my 2.5SBD when it seems my post is competing with Coca Cola budgets ?
Well I am if nothing, tenacious / or just daft ! (I never usually make the same mistake more than 3 or 4 times, sometimes more depending on how long it is since I made the last one) in this case about 2 hours.
If at first you don't suck seed, try, try again.. (just keep swimming)
So I thought hang on, maybe 2.5DBD just wasn't enough so I added another 2.5 SBD a couple of hours later. Ok by this point, you may be laughing your socks / pants / hats off at my naivety (and Null is also laughing all the way to Polybius, the soon to be Crypto bank) but I am trying here folks. Anyway any advice, reflections or tips will be appreciated
