Hello Dpollers!

I've been active in Steemit community for quite sometime now; more than a year now, and I've been thinking of ways of how to promote our Steemit platform to the people around my locality. In the past, I've seen a lot of initiative from other Steemians on how they are trying to promote Steemit and to be honest I don't have a clue whether they were successful or they weren't so effective in achieving their goal.

In my honest opinion, whether the initiative is successful or not, I think that the effort could still bring awareness to the masses about Steem as a cryptocurrency / Steemit as a social media platform.

I believe Steem & Steemit together with the other interfaces or Dapps, is already going through a transition. A shift that I think has a positive impact to the current state of Steem and its future. I also think that it's about time to start promoting Steem / Steemit to the masses.

In my own personal effort, I'm thinking to do either one of the following ideas that I have. Maybe you can help me shed some light or deeper understanding on it. I would also appreciate if you could share your idea if you think it isn't covered by my list.

Thank you in advance for your feedback. Cheers!
