Its one of the single most under talked about practices, and sadly the practice that causes the most growth in both the very legit bitcoin and a lot of garbage scam coins. 

As the title suggests, that practice is none other than marketing the coins you are holding.

People see me do it all the time and they don't even realize.

If you want a coin to succeed, do your research about it so you are knowledgeable and then share that knowledge. People flock to this.

Its not hard to do and I am going to prove it by example.

<h1>Linkedin Marketing for Steemit growth</h1>

Lets face it, every single person on the steemit platform is invested in cryptocurrency. Thats half the point of being on this site, to write and get steem dollars and steem.

So how does one market the steemit platform on linkedin?

<div class="pull-left">https://steemitimages.com/DQmYRnHp3SCMCbU3HK2SD7fDjDM71dtGrYsioMWykoR6FYN/image.png</div>

Its very simple. 

First you use linkedin pulse to write an article explaining steemit to people. 

Explain to them that joining is free. Explain to them how to join anonymously. Tell them benefits of writing here. Tell them about SEO. Inform them about all that is steemit.

Chances say, your article won't get a lot of views. Even me closing in on 14,000 connections barely had 25 views of the article. 

<h1>Gaining article views</h1>

So after writing an article, you have to draw interest to it. 

Now the thing to note here is that linkedin uses a system that promotes content without links and photos in it more than content with links and photos.

So when making a post, you don't want to link to the article at all.

Instead you want to make an enticing offer. As you can see from my image, my offer was to earn $100 or more per article.

As you can also see, this has brought over 150 comments. These are people asking me for more details.

First I utilize this to connect with new people, then I send them the link  privately to my article and ask them to share.

My 25 views, has now jumped to over 100 views, over 10 likes, and 2 shares.

Still not nearly enough, but this jump has taken place from 25 to over 100 since 18 hours ago. I expect both the post and the article to get a lot more shares and likes of the coming days.

Never underestimate the power of sharing your coins and their projects. Others join when they feel they are joining someone educated on a topic. Utilize this!
