Thanks for sharing this @jrswab! It's great that you shared this, and I have followed all of these steps and more since joining Steemit, which has led to me growing a lot in the last month.

I have just launched the Steemit Success Initiative on my blog page, which has a similar ethos to the work you do - help Steemit grow, help its users grow, and reward undervalued users. I'd appreciate any feedback you have on it!
