Many times when I post on steemit it to broaden myself through other social media, meaning what I post here I usually share on like facebook, twitter, linkedin, sometimes tumbl and also on futurenet. People will see my steemit post on those platforms and possibly go onto steemit. Plus I also post to many times showcase what I do as a result. Extra bonus, getting paid for posting on steemit also, slowly building that up, bigger money from this platform will come later.
