Hey @nonameslefttouse we managed to get a feature post on steemit. It was only for 24hrs,but unfortunately it didn't maje any difference to sales.

We've never looked in to advertising on other platforms and don't know costs. I'm sure @raybrockman, as the #steemsilverround organiser, would have thought of this, but if you have any tips, please feel free to share.

It would be a shame to see such a great steem project fall to the wayside after just 3yrs.

This is what I see in the comment section even here, as I write this:

@aggroed are you around or have you muted me? LOL!

@aggroed would have all the details and know the necessary steps required in order to be able to advertise within the tribe frontends, since it's basically his baby.

That's probably the best way to purchase visibility now on the chain and trumps paid votes since the ads would last a lot longer and be seen in far more places all at the same time. The tribes also have designated ad slots one can purchase and stay on the trending pages within those tribes for a long time without fear of ever getting downvoted.

The cheapest advertising is right at $250.00 and can go all the way up to $2,500. For this to be a nonprofit project it would have to come out of someones pocket. Honestly $250.00 is another 10 steem silver rounds. We managed to get a post featured but it was only left in the featured section for 24 hours. ( wasn't long enough) I feel like we have exhausted all resources except to pay.

Have you looked into promoting posts within the tribes? Top slot on all the trending pages is there to be purchased. Added visibility, probably cheaper. Plenty of options and this community is clearly earning something posting these daily promotions. Wouldn't be hard to get on Palnet, Neoxian, SteemLeo and many others by converting some of that STEEM. This comment section looks like many are feeling negative and defeated rather than using what exists to help the cause. There must be something you guys can do that's different than what you've been doing. I guess these are my suggestions.

Wasn't aware you had a choice on tribe promotions, when you go to the advertising link, it is very vague. If this was a profit base project, I would be all over the advertising. Not sure what route to take with the project. It is a shame that the platform has ran out of steem! Or maybe it's just our community that has ran out of steem. Either way the round will be minted. It was a little disheartening to only be featured for 24 hours, when you see featured post stay in trending for days and sometimes weeks. Maybe steemit views on this project is not what the community thought it would be. After all, we are trying to push precious metals to a crypto base platform. Thanks for the advice though!

These 'promoted' trending page slots can't be too expensive though?

Pretty sure every tribe is set up that way and I'm thinking Steemit will be, eventually (not 100% sure). You'd just have to hit the 'promote' button and send some tokens to null for each tribe.

You can see two promoted posts there inside the green boxes. The bottom post is five days old. That's a long shelf life for a top slot.

I'm sure me, @raybrockman and a few other will bang our heads together and see what we can come up with. Appreciate the suggestions (and more importantly the interaction) @nonameslefttouse.

Watch this space..... 🤞

Deep breath everyone, I have lived through several Silver crashes, and the people that are left at the bottom are always a solid foundation.
I got busy with life, Actifit....just busy.....
