I think what could create some tailwind is promoting some of the good Steemit content here (and its rewards) to external sources, linked with all the possibilities Steemit offers. 

Here is what I achieved by just tweeting Steemit articles: I received over 500.000 tweet impressions for Steemit articles -> considering this was achieved with no Penny spent but just a bit time, the outreach of a proper and payed marketing campaign using quality content of Steemit could be truly significant and could boost the interest, account numbers and the general acceptance of Steem.
