My Billboard is Picked out! New #Steem Billboard coming to West Seattle Bridge, Washington State, USA on 9/11!!! Let's turn Seattle into the Steem Capital!
1. I have been looking for a cost effective method of getting MY ENTIRE STATE onto Steemit, and crowd-funding billboards seems like the best way to do it!
I have been doing marketing and web design fro a little over 12 years now and have met some very awesome people in that time period, most of which are the backbone of my career. People such as Mike from Lamar Outdoor Advertising are the reason I can call myself a success, these individuals always go above and beyond to make sure I get my goals accomplished and for that I thank them very much.
With that being said, I have reached out on behalf of Steem and will be purchasing a billboard as I posted about around 4 weeks ago. All the planning is almost complete and the board is scheduled to be paid and printed in the coming weeks, then placed on the bridge starting 9/11 until 10/11, while I would love to go longer this board is being given to me at a large discount and taking up more than 1 cycle most likely won't fly unless the board doesn't get renewed by someone else.
This bridge has EASILY 20,000 people driving over it daily, if not far more, and at certain times of the day it's deadlocked traffic, so the click through rate on these will be through the roof!

2. The first billboard is going to be paid for by me, out of my pocket. (yes I got a massive deal, this time.)
Don't worry about feeling as if this is or is not a waste of the Steem funds because the billboard is coming out of my USD reserves, not anyones Steem. This is simply my thank you to everyone in the Steem community that has supported me this past year. I appreciate the hell out of all of you. And besides it's not SUPER expensive, like I said, Mike threw me a good deal I couldn't turn down!
3. Beyond that I hope to use any earnings from posting updates about new boards and plans to buy bigger boards and more in better areas!
Down the road as my SP grows I plan on bootstrapping this project a bit further and trying to make it as automated as possible, I'm even trying to get the head salesman of this company involved so he can simply crowdfund billboards on our behalf, and ALWAYS get the best deals! ;] Wish me luck everyone! I will drive over the bridge soon once I know which billboard it is and grab a photo for everyone!
So join me on this journey and lets turn Seattle into the Steem capital of the world! #Seattle is already a massive tech hub, all we need is some marketing for Steem!

heya, very good initiatives lately!
however, when advertising the platform, Steemit has to say no to 3rd party ads that use the phrase "Steemit" to cover us from liabilities. Please modify the banner to user alternate terms. "Steem" as a public infrastructure and token is totally free from our concerns.
Thanks for understanding
Good to know, thanks for the input @Ned, will do! Steem it is!
edit: i'm still allowed to use steemit.com correct? Or shall I get a domain for the in-betweening?
Thanks!
this includes steemit and/or steemit.com
I wish you all a wonderful time there 😘
Steem ON!
Totally understandable, perhaps I'll do a @zappl board instead... hmmm or just buy a fun domain..
Could you play with Decentralization or #aggroed ?
I like the concepts of helping others (esp. minnows) and decentralized or peer to peer networking! 😃
If I can get the wording right I feel like Zappl avenue might be best, reaching out to @zappl team already about this idea see what they think.
Maybe being mysterious would work better. Look for steem IT'S worth it.
Hi @ned, billboards are my "wheelhouse" but that has taken a back seat while I'm building out @steemsports, I would recommend the billboard advertise steemsports.com as it points, in the interim, to our Steemit blog, that way it absolves Steemit inc from liability and sports is a good draw card to bring people here as well.
does this include wearing t-shirts and handing out flyers?
Hi @Ned, I am in the middle of creating flyers to promote Steemit in the UK. We have done an artistic version of the logo so I think we are OK with that.
We can get around the URL issues using redirects etc but for ensuring people know of the brand I'd rather not. Is there a way I can send them to your team for approval?
This is great, may I use this on my FB page?
Of course!

Cool
Good luck and would love to see this go bigger but IDK if the USA is a good market or not crypto may get fully banned and then never hit masses in the US
You can advertise Steemsports.com if you like... I can point the domain to the https://steemit.com/@steemsports and thanks for trying to revive my billboard legacy!
Hi @thecryptodrive, are you the founder of @steemsports?
Best,
SF
