Have you recently posted, or attempted to post on Steemit?
You may have noticed a new button at the bottom of your post which is labeled "Promote".
This button allows you to spend your hard-earned Steem Dollars to purchase space in the new "Promoted" tab, which all users now see along the top of the Steemit site.
As of this time, there are only about 4 posts under the "Promoted" tab, leading me to wonder as to how many are even aware that this is available- I know I didn't!
I spent some Steem Dollars, and was immediately in the category, on top of posts that were many hours old.
Could this be the right time to get into this new means for self-promotion of content on Steemit before everyone else realizes it? Perhaps.
It'll be interesting to see exactly how this "Promoted" tab will alter the future earnings on the platform- will this make it ever more "Pay to win", or is it exactly what we needed to combat the lack of visibility on posts WHILST helping to fund Steemit and draw new users?
Time will tell.
