1,000+ Views a Day from Google to Steem: Witness Update #3!

1,000+ Views of Steem a Day from Google- Witness Update.jpg

Every day Google and YouTube search introduce 1000+ users to Steem through the posts I write on steemit.com and the videos I make at https://www.youtube.com/jerrybanfield. This is the primary value I add to Steem as a witness at https://steemit.com/~witnesses which is in the form of Marketing / PR / Recruitment combined with many secondary support objectives including as about half of those listed in @timcliff's latest guide to being a good witness which I explained more about in my last witness update and my first witness update.

Would you join me in seeing how this works because any of us can adapt these strategies for bringing in thousands more readers in every day?

Case Studies!


  1. 20 days ago I made one post that has brought over 1,000 people a day from Google and related sharing on Facebook and Twitter by itself at https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@jerrybanfield/cryptocurrency-price-predictions-for-september-2017. As of today, this post has 21,661 views as seen in the screenshot above.
  2. A few months before, I did the same thing on another post that to date has over 33,000 views at https://steemit.com/steem/@jerrybanfield/cryptocurrency-price-predictions-for-july-2017.
  3. To help more of our authors duplicate these results, I did a post explaining exactly how I did it which ANYONE CAN COPY going forward at https://steemit.com/steemit/@jerrybanfield/23-349-views-from-google-on-1-steem-post. Note that while the new version of the same post got 1,000 views a day, the old post still got about 500 more views a day also.
  4. While I titled this post 1,000+ a day, I estimate Google and YouTube collectively are introducing 3,000 to 10,000 readers and viewers a day to Steem every day when considering all combined organic traffic sources such as Google search, suggested videos, browse features, and the follow up sharing that comes when a reader shares a post on Facebook and Twitter originally found in Google search. The amount of followers I have is the tip of the iceberg compared to the total that have learned about Steem but have not signed up yet.
  5. Every post I make is shared on Facebook with 2+ million followers and Twitter with 100,000+ followers with videos being shared to 200,000+ subscribers on YouTube. This helps me a lot to rank higher in organic search which helps to get more followers which helps to rank even higher in organic search!
  6. Getting found in Google and YouTube is huge for growth because these results are free and being discovered tends to produce viral growth from the follow up word of mouth marketing. This is what originally sold me on investing in Steem and is likely to also sell a lot of future investors.
  7. I believe getting found in Google and YouTube search is the critical entry point that will draw a huge investor buying 10+ million in Steem within the next few months. This one investor alone will bring the price to $10+ and there will be little warning before it happens. This investor will hear about Steem from a trusted friend that has been following me online for years who originally found me in YouTube search. The friend will use a recent video or post to provide the perfect opportunity to pitch the investment with the self-interested motive of getting huge upvotes from the investor. The investor will be sold on the guaranteed traffic from Google, YouTube, and social media sharing combined with being the only cryptocurrency with true mass adoption potential where anyone with no investment can participate and make a meaningful contribution by posting or developing apps.
  8. Thank you for helping me make these contributions with thousands of dollars in funding for ads as show in the budget spreadsheet at https://airtable.com/shrXuoYTnODWA0QG1.

Screenshots!

Here is how it works in pictures which show where people are finding the posts and videos I make which feature Steem! For you fellow marketing geeks, I did all of these in an incognito window to minimize bias.

Witnesses = Growth

When we write new applications to interact with the Steem blockchain and upgrade our witness servers and discuss the best ways forward, are we acting on the assumption that all of these will contribute to growth? Do we get excited about new apps like DTube and DSound because they provide the opportunity to get mass adoption? Are we each hoping to get a return out of our investment here from a Steem price increase in the future? My answers are all yes. How about you?

The deeper we look into being a witness, the more clear it is that our assumption is that our witness votes are going towards maintaining and building Steem. Our witness votes are deciding the direction of our growth. To get the highest return on my own investment and that of every vote proxied to me, I am voting for witnesses that I see are working the most to grow Steem AND taking at least a little bit of time each month to communicate how that is happening.

If I did not take the time in this post to show the behind the scenes work I am doing by getting Steem found everywhere in organic search which is the #1 place to get discovered, one easily could think that it is all just self-promotion without any significant contribution to the whole. I accept responsibility for this confusion and hope to have cleared it up with this post. I am not a saint and I have made plenty of mistakes in my first 115 days here. So has everyone else. The question is what have we contributed?

I hope this post has made the #1 contribution I make as a witness clear to the 843 total accounts already kind enough to be voting for me as seen at https://steemdb.com/@jerrybanfield/witness along with the about 100 users trusting me enough to set me as a proxy as seen at https://steemdb.com/@jerrybanfield/proxied and to the remaining 353,000 or so users that might be kind enough to make a witness vote for me in the future!

Would you please vote for jerrybanfield as a witness today at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because of what we just read in this post together?

Great job Jerry, definitely THE promoter of Steemit, especially when the prices are down , very helpful for the community

When I look at the witness list, I find @jerrybanfield and @teamsteem at around number 50. This is really astonishing for me because I have been following these guys specially Jerry everywhere be it Youtube, DTube, Twitter, Facebook and of course at Steemit. He's created massive content till date to promote the platform. Since relatively new at Steemit platform, so may be I've not come across other Witness category authors that much, so my judgement could be wrong. If Steemit platform is progressing, there is definitely a strong and well planned teamwork behind it. Anyway, thanks for the update. This is a great write up!

Steem on!

Yasir I appreciate you noticing all the content I have produced in the last 115 days of being here! Most of the top witnesses have been here since the beginning and have built the foundation for us all to contribute on top of! In just two months of being a witness and almost 4 months as a user, I am very grateful to have already risen into the top 50 witnesses and expect my continued contributions will be matched by increasing witness votes at https://steemit.com/~witnesses as consistently happens with other witnesses!

Very impressive! For your contributions, I want to see you at the top in this witness list. Good luck!

Thank you Luis for recognizing all the promotion I do and for voting for me as a witness at https://steemit.com/~witnesses. Every time the prices drop is exciting like the down in a roller coaster because this is our opportunity to invest more for when the big up comes!

its always nice to see the witnesses I've voted for post updates on their activity. I need to go through my list of the 17 witness votes I've cast and check their witness updates this week.

I've seen some key people have noted in their posts that some of the witnesses in the top 50 and top 100 lists aren't very active so I need to make sure my votes are good ones with respect to maintaining the health of this platform.

I thought about setting a proxy for my witness voting but I like learning, researching and doing things myself so I opted to vote for my own witnesses. Had I not done that, @jerrybanfield would have been at the top of my list for people I might trust to set as a proxy.

Thanks for the update Jerry. You're a rockstar. Keep on rockin it brother!

John thank you very much for sharing your kind feedback about me being a rockstar and for voting for me as a witness at https://steemit.com/~witnesses !

Dude HECK YA. I see you just posted this and skimmed it before I start work. Just wanna say: STEEM is sooo lucky to have you! Thank you for spreading the word!

Robert I am grateful you made the original invitation for me to join Steemit and appreciate you voting me up along with @teamsteem in your witness votes at https://steemit.com/~witnesses

Great analysis post to keep steemit afloat.
As a witness it is an objective point to educate and inform steemian accordingly
Thanks.

We still talking Jerry for president! LOL! ;)

@jerrybanfield Awesome work, you're posts are both helpful and inspiring for ways to grow in the community.

I know I've personally seen you around the web much more often recently. And from what those screenshots show, those are some serious SEO gains!! :) Are you running remarketing campaigns right now?

Yes @mikev I have remarketing going for all of my YouTube videos and website! If @steemit would give me access to the Google analytics data I would love to get some remarketing campaigns going for the entire website!

Nice bit of SEO there Jerry!

Thank you Tomas! Would you please vote for me as a witness or set me as a proxy to handle all your witness votes at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because witness votes are the most important we make on Steemit?

Sure thing, I just voted for you :)

The amazing power of Steemit! Thanks for the great write up....

Good to see you posting on Steem again @suppoman! Thank you for stopping by! Would you please vote for me as a witness or set me as a proxy to handle all your witness votes at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because witness votes are the most important we make on Steemit and with your influence, readers consider who you are voting for as a witness?

Mannn @suppoman! We need to get your steemit site ballin also! What can we do to help 😬

How would someone investing $10 million into Steem increase the price 10x? :D
I think you are forgetting Steem has a market cap of $300 million...

Yes and there is only 34 or so million Steem available on exchanges with often less than $1 million dollars a day in total volume. Even consistently buying slow over time would raise the price a lot just buying $10,000 or $50,000 a day for many days in a row. $10 million into Steem in a short period of time would also attract attention from other traders seeing the up trend and wanting to join on in a pump and dump as happened when Steem was released.

jerry how is tom is he doing damm things on you then u can contact me@ javaceo.html.c0.info

@jerrybanfield - as so many others have said, thank you for your contributions to the Steem platform! I am still trying to understand the platform to decide if it is worth further investment for me. I made a post with some questions I had about the author/curation rewards but since I'm new and don't have a following no one has replied to help answer my questions :-(

Would really appreciate it if you could check it out and help me understand how this works a bit better, and when I decide to invest in the platform you will definitely get my witness vote.

https://steemit.com/steemit/@yabapmatt/are-steem-author-curation-rewards-sustainable

Honored you asked here! I will read your post now!

You are definitely on my witness vote list! I see you doing a great job and being present a lot! Keep on steeming!

Thank you for your work to make steemit a better place ;-)

Great job Jerry, definitely THE promoter of Steemit, especially when the prices are down , very helpful for the community

Awesome Post Jerry you always rock :)

While I can see why growth of the platform is a good thing. I also worry a bit. Because this type of hype is also a crucial part of any Ponzi, Pyramid, Multilevel type Schemes.

good information strategy, i will copy right now

I'm a product of your past youtube views...

I remembered sometime last month I stumbled on a video (Steemit; New Social Media and Blogging Website ) that caught my atttention.

As a lover of facebook I thought to myself well then, finally I will start getting rewards from being social, lol.

Since then I have been a fan of you on steemit and youtube.

  • At least a fan to know you also do motivational vids apart from cryptocurrencies.
  • A fan to know you live happily with your wife and daughter and I think went to a zoo with them this past few week... (saw the photo of the Giraffe you took.)

I even mentioned you in my introduceyourself post which i posted last week.

As a newbie to steemit, the best revealing video for me is the video of your workflow... I cant remember its full title though.

Just want you to know those views aint bot... we are all real and we are learning greatly from you bro. (at least I am)

I am definitely voting you as a withness
Cheers!!!

I allready voted you as witness, have you got any idea or info on the growth of steemit? users? active users?

Tnx for promoting the platform, we can all benefit from that!

Gracias por colaborar con esta maravillosa plataforma, yo estoy desarrollando una estrategia que denomino: Marketing por influencias, pero no cualquiera sino por personas que conozca o que ellas sientan que tienen que aportar, véase, artistas, músicos, técnicos, tatuadores, entre otros.

Me has animado, gracias.

I have to hand it to you, you certainly know how to acquire and maintain an audience in social media. To what benefit, indeed, however?

With great power comes great responsibility.

Why do you want to become a witness?

Jerry the more you talk about something the more the power it has!

i am here in steemit because of your sponsor post in facebook...you have a great influences in many of us... you are a brand ambassador of steemit...
hehe

Nicely said as always Jerry. These strategies will help everyone, no question about it!

looks like you are acting as a catalyst to promote steemit ....great job as it is the result of your hard work

this is great..huge dedication..

Hey there, google is the most used search engine and ofcourse, youtube being google's product is the most used video site. Write about steemit tips, tricks on your blogs or upload a video on youtube with some decent SEOing, you will have great chances of hitting first page of search results as the search terms related to steemit are still not too tough to rank for. Nice post.

You inspired me to write blogs and look further into the monetary system. I am mind blown by this. I read your blogs everyday and your endorsement will mean the world to me @jerrybanfield

good post. thank you for sharing, help me because I want to grow with you

Great job,and inspiring

"20 days ago I made one post that has brought over 1,000 people a day from Google and related sharing on Facebook and Twitter"

Just curious: how do you know that a over 1,000 people a day came from Google and relating platforms? Are there some sort of statistics available to see where the visitors of our blog came from? Would be interesting!

@jerrybanfield you are doing super work .I voted for the wittness.

nice post i really like this post
I will wait for the next post

Hi Jerry, I remember you posting a video on how your Chase accoint got closed and they will not give you any explanation. Today i came across a article and i found the answer. Chase does not like ppl investing in Bitcoins. Please look at the article. And thanks for all you good post :) https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/jp-morgans-jamie-dimon-labels-bitcoin-fraud/

eheheh There are not a lot of People like You in here. In my opinion You are Top 3 for sure. My favourite by the way. Great job :D

You have already had my vote! You are one of the best when it comes to delaying people to this platform with simple Steemit explanations and high hopes! Keep me coming jerry!! Thankyou for being a great witness

Great work Jerry !! Steemit needs more promoters like yourself on its plaform. You're the Don King of Steemit 😉

NICE! Jerry is helping grow Steemit, I hear many people are talking about.

NIce work very unique

Fantastic job you are doing for promoting steemit, I'm sure it is paying off and will further pay off!
You got my vote now as a witness. Haven't done such an activity before as im quite new to steemit.
Keep doing such wonderful work!

Keep up the good work! I truly appreciate the exposure to Steem that Youtubers would not normally get.

Ok Jerry! Off the topic here; what's with the hat?!!! Don't tell me it's stylish! And a good morning Aloha to all!
