The marketing needs to be fixed along the lines of:
"It is a small community of people that are helping to test this new website and provide feedback on how it works, to help turn it into a mainstream blogging/social media site"
It should be viewed as a test model, and all the posts, including mine which detailed the money I made in the beginning should be de-emphasized.
This is an experiment. We are the guinea pigs.

@ats-david made a exhautive analysis and excellent proposal.

For several weeks, there has been no change and no ads. Where are the leaders? "No government, no rules"? We see where that leads!
the leaders are not blogging on their own site.
That is another big flashing red sign.
They are probably busy with the Russian copy of steem they made. The one that has everyones accounts and passwords in it... {facepalm} Half their time and miners will be taken up by that codebase and blockchain now.
I'm sure they will be very busy taking control of mining and recreating the money making schemes that worked so well here in the beginning.
It appears to be a new kind of experimental guinea pig farming... that's in beta...
Exactly! :)
Exactly
I agree with this comment. Especially the last line.
I don't see neither any marketing, nor any evolution of the developments at the moment... As many users I discussed with, I would like to know where Steemit goes at the moment. That would probably help a lot.
Regarding the marketing, I will pose the question - do we want to be doing a big recruitment push right now while the site is not ready? Really all we are looking for right now is more "beta testers".
You should check out this video. I think it is a good explanation of why things are the way they are right now.
Why The STEEM Bubble Was an Investment Round and Not a Product Launch
Also, as far as where Steemit goes at the moment, this post should at least help: Steemit.com Development Updates
Hope this helps :)
Not a big recruitment but some recruitment to some extent. Having a large quantity of users going away during the beta phase and not enough coming in is not a solution. This is especially true when you are trying to conduct some steemit projects where all the active people are leaving one after each other.
PS: concerning the video, it is true. I forgot myself this 'not product launch' item
Since we don't have notifications yet, I figured I'd ping you to let you know I added some comments in reply to the discussion in the thread you started here (re: @lemouth) Curious to know your thoughts if you have time :)
