Thanks @apsu, since I got my Steem from posts I do want to explore deploying some of it back into the platform as post promotions. The last episode's promotion cost more than the post's payout, but I acquired some quality new supporters and made cool new contacts. Just hoping for more of the same with this episode!

But I do agree @apsu, a better promotional effort might be via bots, but I have not tried that and don't know much about it. The promote feature does increase exposure some. As a booster of revenue, its not.

Well luckily there is no one single way to be successful on Steemit OR even use Steemit the right way. :)

Good luck for the future and hope you'll find the most suiting tools!
