I was planning on posting this AFTER I got my first billboard up but seeing as crowd-funding is becoming all the rage today I might as well make a post about my idea and current standing with my own " Steemit Billboard Campaign".
I was hoping to provide you all with a billboard in quick fashion that did a good job, but it seems that I wasn't the only genius with this idea and don't wanna miss out and look like a copycat or anything lol so here it goes:
Last week I reached out to Lamar Advertising (They recently bought out clear channel in my area) in order to secure pricing for a billboard of decent value in the Greater Seattle Area, I have since upped my estimates on the price to be around $3,000 USD and am 100% going to be funding this out of pocket, as soon as I cash out a bit more Steem obviously, as I am $1800 short still.
Anyways, I wanted to share with you guys my information so far so you can help me in deciding where this baby should go! I already have a design put together that I also have business cards made for and am doing a shirt that is the equivelant as well, so they will be a trio package of the same sort of layout/content.
Without further adue, here is the Billboard design I will be using, along with the business cards coming from the printers later today:
Steemit Refer-a-friend cards, will upload the .PSD files as well.
I don't want to post my T-Shirt design just yet, as I would prefer to have physical images of those to show off my idea better, but be sure to check back later for when I do a post about those! They will be awesome!
Back to the billboard stuff for a moment though; I will spend $3,000 USD of my own money for 1 billboard in a decently populated area of Seattle for 4 weeks, but the amount they charge for THE BEST placement is usually upwards of 20-30k per 4 weeks. So all the money earned from a chunk of my future posts will be dedicated to getting Steemit billboards around Seattle whenever I can spare it, the first one is my thank you to Steemit, @Ned, @Dan and everyone who has every upvoted me! Thank you!

edit: right as I hit submit, the representative emailed me back and now were talking about possibly a $5k billboard which would be this one, right off the free way:
