Will we fund our fifth Steem video ad for Facebook and YouTube which features a pitch to investors named "Which cryptocurrency is the best to buy and hold?" This new video ad covers ten reasons why Steem is the ideal buy and hold inspired originally from the Top 10 Reasons to Buy and Hold Steem! My hope with this video ad is to inspire a few existing cryptocurrency traders to grab some Steem and power it up while also reaching out to new investors just learning about Bitcoin to jump straight into Steem!
As with previous video ad posts as seen at https://airtable.com/shrXuoYTnODWA0QG1, all author rewards from this post will be spent on Facebook and YouTube ads for the post on Facebook and video on YouTube as seen below! To increase the budget for these ads and limit the need to raise money on posts like this, I made a growth project last month following the crowdfunded marketing protocol by @andrarchy asking @Steemit for a regular ad budget every month!

Results
The previous ad campaigns have done amazing on Facebook and YouTube!
- 3,245,273 people on Facebook have seen the ads for Steem an average of 3.68 times per person with a budget of $4,622.37 including 3,238 post shares, 14,999 link clicks mostly to Steemit, and 117,456 reactions to the posts most of which are likes!
- 101,215 views from ads on YouTube for $1,902.84. YouTube is amazing because these views are resulting indefinitely in more organic views on YouTube after the boost in ranking the videos we advertise receive from all the minutes watched!
- Our collective effort funding these ads and sharing these ads with friends has probably resulted in 30,000 to 100,000 new user signups on Steemit since these ads began on June 2, 2017.
Facebook ad results in detail!
YouTube remarketing ads help users seeing previous ads see new ones because it tends to bring a better result to show one person every ad that to just show the ads everywhere!
Thank You!
I am very grateful for the $5000+ we have collectively given in author rewards from upvotes on all my previous posts for Steem ads! Will we continue funding these ads with the author rewards on this post because these ads are reaching a lot of new potential users for a relatively small amount of money?
Love,
Jerry Banfield

What would be, based on your experience, a good FB marketing campaign to do in latin america? I said latin america because my main language is Spanish so I could start covering that part. Would be great to have some guidelines about "what to do" and "what not to do". Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time @jerrybanfield. Nice work!
Its amazing how costly the advertising fees are for facebook . 😞
Agree too!
Nice post AGAIN :D
Thank you!
Hi ,
Thanks for the great content
Just gotta keep on bringing more people over to steemit. I'm opening a restaurant soon which will accept FIAT and SBD in a local mall. My hope is not only to make a profit from running the restaurant but also to increase awareness of Steemit in the local community and show that YES it can be used as currency in addition to being a long-term investment.
That are a lot of new people reached. Good Job!
Mr. Banfield!!
Will you please check out The Steemit Shop?
Shirts, sweats, coffee mugs, mouse pads; all your favorite Steem gear.
This is awesome and I am happy we have The Steemit Shop!
Steemit Marketing Goes Animation
Hey Jerry, what do you think about animated marketing videos? I am running the daily Steemy show with an animated puppet. It is easy to do and looks really cool. I am looking to get a foot into the door to so Steemit marketing with that technology.
@flauwy I would love to bring more animation into future ads!
Thanks for your response Jerry. Can you imagine doing some of your videos wit a puppet instead your actual face? We could develop a puppet that eother looks like you or looks entirely different. After the puppet is done you can still produce daily videos screencasts. But you deactivate your webcam and put the puppet over the screencast instead. Have you had a look at one of my puppet videos with Steemy? You can go as complex as you like and each animation is either automatic or just a hotkey away.
Let me know if you want to talk more about this. I am on Steem.chat and Discord.
Using a puppet gives the viewer a totally different relationship to the content compared to a real person speaking. It is much easier to sympathize with a funny puppet than with a person.
Running ads on Facebook is a very good idea @jerrybanfield. I was actually introduced to steemit by someone who came across such ad on Facebook.
With over two billion people on Facebook, these ads are sure to bring more people to steemit. Go on with the ad... You have my upvote!
Sunny thank you very much for letting us know that you found us by someone else that saw the ad on Facebook!
You're welcome sir
Great marketing
Congratulations @jerrybanfield!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following categories:
Seems like more of a promotion for you, cant blame you for it I am just saying.
Yea, I agree. Nothing against Banfield, nut he is basically promoting himself here. Furthermore he isn't promoting the platform but building hype around the steem currency.
Just my observation
You are certainly right in that I am featured in the ad and the viewer might notice me as well as Steem. The benefit is of me introducing people to Steem through whatever imperfect and awkward approach I use is that while my personal approach has proven to bring in a lot of new users to sign up and follow me, after this original step each new user tends to start following and interacting with hundreds of other people on Steem. As a viewer I prefer videos in the style I do my own videos and trust that there are plenty of us capable of doing videos in different formats such as animated videos that when all our approaches are combined we can count on appealing to every potential user in a unique way!
What u do is magic!)
Like a magic show!
Thank you for your work Jerry
Facebook Ads work.
I say this because i am a product of one of @jerrybanfield Facebook Ads.
In that first video you made,you explained Steemit so well that i had to check in and begin reading more about the platform.
Continue spreading the good news about Steemit.
I am also happy to have launched officially promo-uganda after getting inspiration from you and @stephenkendal
As you promote Steemit on Facebook,be rest assured there is a new country being added on board off-line.
I am now promoting Steemit to Uganda.Any one can check out my first promo post on my blog.
Jarau thank you for letting us know here you originally found us because of the Facebook ad and then you joined after doing more of your own research!
i want to learn facebook marketting. Do you have any paid cource @jerrybanfield?
Yes thank you Jack for asking because I have a paid course at https://u.jerrybanfield.com/courses/facebook2017
thanks @jerrybanfield
You basically have to have a page and then you can use the boost option to promote a post, video, photo. Paying facebook for the amount of people you want to reach accordingly, they've different packages.
Yes Jerry! Upvoted & Resteemed
Thank you Ashley!
Banfield does it again!!
@jerrybanfield for the CEO or VP of the marketing of Steemit Inc. :)
I see your movin up on the Witness list, congrats
Awesome results, i hope more and more people know about steemit.
Steem on!!!! Lets get the name out there even more. Great work Jerry!!
Do you have numbers as to how many new sign ups it produced etc? Views are nice but actions are what matters
In the growth project post, I asked Steemit for access to a Facebook pixel and a Google analytics account because then I would be able to track and show the actual number of user signups initiated and/or resulting directly from the ads. My estimate is 30,000 to 100,000 user signups when direct signups resulting immediately from clicks on the ads are combined with indirect signups from users seeing the ads but not signing up right away, referrals by friends that saw the ads, and follow up from users originally signing up that then become active on Steem. For example, hundreds of users signing up immediately after seeing the ads have become active authors here, brought in friends and family, bought Steem, and now are also likely bringing in readers automatically from Google search. Since these ads targeted, we have got 200,000+ new users which is more than we had total before the ads started. The ads and related posts also make for easy sharing by readers already on Steem to help explain it to a friend.
The key strength of the ads is essentially multiplying the efforts we are all making here already. About half of those following me are directly from ads according to the comments. For every person that took the time to remember to follow me, there are at least 3 to 5 times as many people that forgot about my involvement specifically in the ads and just signed up here with no memory of who referred them.
BUT you promote yourself more than STEEM - Your face 5X bigger than steem, account from where you promote is yours and there is 8 cryptoes except steem on photo. It's NOT STEEM ADD.
@doelist I'd love to see you spend 5 grand on an ad just introducing steemit :) without any factor of self-promotion.
3 million, that's impressive!
Good result keep doing this :)
Hey Jerry you got my vote ! I'll look into voting tonight but hope all swell if you have time check out my blog
https://steemit.com/family/@ryan313/a-real-meaningful-job-that-i-m-trying-to-do-well
This is pretty cool. I've been wondering if content creators on YouTube and Facebook are going to come over to steemit and how that'd work if they already have a large audience on those platforms.
That's marketing and when you combine that with the other blogs and posts that are seen on Facebook... hey @cleverbot do you think Facebook users would prefer Steemit if they understood this is the Facebook of cryptocurrency?
Keep it going @jerrybanfield !!! I think your energy and dedication are bringing a lot of users to Steemit. I been into crypto for the past year and a half and just couple months ago, I saw one of.your videos talking about Steemit and Steem and I can say big part of my decision to be here came from your cheerful personality and seen how invested your are to this plataform. Upvoted and Resteeming!
Very informative as always
Wow! I've never watched an ad about steem be it on facebook or on youTube but there are the links in your post. Thank you!
@jerrybanfield we can do nothing but WIN........Keep it UP !!! It is wonderful to be here on the Ground Floor of the Crypto that will Change the lives of so many people..........STEEM ON !!!
Ich finde es Fantastische wie du dein Image von Woche zu Woche mehr steigerst, leider spreche ich nicht so gutze englisch, deshalb schreib ich es auf deutsch und hoffe das der Übersetze es einigermaßen gut macht. Du bist ein Vorbild und hast Vorbildfunktion
---- Translate ---
I think it is fantastic how you increase your image from week to week more, unfortunately, I do not speak so good English, so I write it in German and hope the translating makes it a lot good. You are an example and have an example

like the post i will reesteem
Really wowed. @jerrybanfield I will love to run steemit advertisement to people in my community. Is there any tutorial on how to effectively run ads. I will like to start with a low budget. Please put me through.
Running advertisements on Facebook is a smart thought @jerrybanfield. I was really acquainted with steemit by somebody who ran over such promotion on Facebook.
With more than two billion individuals on Facebook, these advertisements are certain to bring more individuals to steemit. Go ahead with the advertisement... You have my upvote!
Great Deal! Let's gather as much as it's possible!
@originalworks
I have followed you, do not forget to my blog, and I have also divided your post
Nice post from a nice one
That is some good bang for the buck! STEEM ON JERRY!
really with such vidio ads, we can understand a bit what bitcoin and other. this is very useful for beginners, thanks, posting very good
This is cool dude, appreciate your services :)
Good post and now that I've forgiven you for encouraging bots we're fine again. I had some answers and see the reason for bots and as long as my little votes count for something, then I'm doing the right thing. That is important to me. Ethics in data is my kick here in the UK and it's a goal worth aiming for. Happy Steeming jerrybanfield!
