How to Become a Steemit Legend
Ok here is a simple equation to build a successful blog on Steemit!
- Strong Following + Quality Content + High SP = A completely lit blog that all of your friends will be jealous of once Steemit goes mainstream!
Life is simple and simple is never easy, and all three of those variables above are now where easy to develop!
Especially the trial of obtaining a high amount of Steem Power, but if you put in the right amount of time, mixed with a positive attitude and hard work, you will start to see progress in no time!
So How Do I Gain A Strong Following?
There are a few ways to build up your followers, but the method I found most effective in my 8 months on this platform, was pouring all of my energy into making friendships! Once you realize it's not about the amount of followers you have, but the quality of supporters and friends you've made, then you will be heading in the right direction!
If you can mange to befriend a few authors and curators that will support your every post, then all of the other hundreds of followers you will get in the future will organically fall in line!
Joining discord communities and living in the comments of your favorite authors are your greatest tools in your quest for Steem Glory. Utilizing the comment feature is a double edged sword, in that you can quickly turn into a spammer who is very susceptible to flags!
Heres How Not To Comment!
- Hey @waphilip great post! I just upvoted you, so please upvote me back!
So what was great about my post?
Did you even read it?
What value did this comment add to whatever I was talking about?
Not only am I not goin to upvote you back, I might even get my buddy @overkillcoin to feature you in his next spam rant animation so flags can rain down on your very annoying and shallow comments Muwahahaha
If you don't have the time to properly read an article, or don't have anything constructive to add to the conversation, then it's best not to comment on that post! You are most likely doing more harm than good.
Heres How To Properly Comment!
I think one key idea that most new people (funny enough) miss is that it's supposed to be fun. No one can keep up flowing posts day in and day out for months if they don't find joy in what they're doing and are just in it for the money. Something that relates to the networking and community building that you refer to in this post.
I take your advice to heart, if you by any chance are into travelling, vlogs, fitness, self-development etc feel free to check out my channel, otherwise, solid content and keep the good work up brother, I'll see you around :) - williamwest
Do you see how @williamwest found a way to add value to my post, while still promoting his page?! Will was very sincere and added value to my post through his comment, which to me opened a door for a possible friendship in the future as we continue to interact with each other on and off the blockchain!
It's also important to note that I upvoted Will's comment to the top of my post, which indirectly advertised his blog to whom ever decided to swim by for that day!
You see how far a quality comment can go?! Will was the inspiration for this post so please go checkout his page if you get a chance :)!
Just Be Patient
It's a long process to grow from a minnow with nothing into a full grown dolphin with 100s of supporters, but it's a journey that has a ending, which if you play your cards right, will be a positive one!
My advice is to be patient and don't concern yourself with high payouts for the first few months! Focus on discovering what your passionate about and creating interesting content!
Focus on finding new communities to join, that will not only make your better at your craft, but also introduce you to talented authors you can't wait to support and grow with each and every day!
Focus on finding efficient ways to grow you Steem Power so you can not only have a source of stable income, but also have the influence to bring those up who deserve it!
Once you realize that this community isn't all about making money, but rather an avenue to connect and grow with the few of us who believe in the future of crypto and Steemit, then this will all feel less like a job, and more like a life style that will pay dividends in the future!
