Hello @cryptoctopus. I am a member of promo-steem and the founder is @futurethinker. It all started with the group of promoters, bringing in more people into steemit. We work with the #promo-steem movement to promote Steemit. @steem-ambassador is the main account for promo-steem they handle the promotion, we are here for the user retention. [At the moment we are counting 525 members.]
And then we realized that bringing people to steemit is not only the main thing but making them active too. So futurethinker added the mentorship part where new and even old steemians are being mentored about steemit generally and most importantly how to write a good article. Then he added the scout section where there are people who are looking out for new steemians who are on steemit already to bring them in and help them out too so that they can be more active and also write good post.
We have encouragement boost section, where we encourage posts that attended the feedback sessions of mentors by giving them little upvote from the community account (@promo-mentors). We also have curie and ocd curators in the community. They try to look into community member's post if any of it is qualified for the upvote. We are trying to make even promising authors to stay on steemit.
The community is already contributing to increase the value of the steem blockchain and with your support, we are going to do more.
Thanks.
