Steemit can be hard, but it is easier than you think to grow like a weed. Here are my favorite ways to grow faster on steemit and grow into a whale in no time!
Focus Focus Focus!
The thing people don't understand is that there are people out there willing to upvote your stuff if they have an interest in it, and you have to focus on a certain theme on what you write about. Maintain a guideline on a few topics you want to write about that seems to get a good reaction from the community and is something you enjoy.
Not only does this make things simpler, but it allows you to write and study more on certain narrowed down topics which will equal higher quality content that the community will appreciate. Remember, Quality over Quantity. Trust me, when people notice you making quality content and the right person swims by and sees it, you will thank me later for telling you to focus and make quality stuff. It makes a difference, it really does.
Use Whale Voting Bots and Services to YOUR Advantage
One thing that will really give you a boost is whale bot voters like @randowhale, @booster, @minnowbooster, and @discordia. Services like this allow you to pay the bot to upvote your post with a whale voting power, which will boost your post up. Each bot has it's own unique way of working, so before you use one, look at its guidelines and how it works before you give it a shot.
Also, If you use @minnowsupport in the discord chat to vote on your posts to give it a good boost. Go to their page to figure out how to use it.
C'mon BRO! Make Original Content!!
One of the biggest problems on steemit is we have so many new people on here copying and pasting articles in hopes to make money off of it, and using other people's content without their permission. This is not the way to go about it. Make your own content that comes from your heart.
The thing is, many of the well-established people on steemit don't want to vote for your plagiarized content, so don't even bother posting it. The @cheetah bot will comment on your post and potentially flag it if it detects plagiarism, as well as @steemcleaners. So it's not worth stealing content...Trust me. This is also one of the things that is part of the steemit etiquette as well.
Follow the etiquette!!
One thing people can't do, especially new people, is follow the etiquette. I highly suggest you read @thecryptofiend's post on it here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@thecryptofiend/the-complete-steemit-etiquette-guide-revision-2-0
Be consistent!!
One of the things that fails people all the time on steemit is they give up. You can't give up, steemit is hard to grow on and takes some time, but you have to be consitent and pump out decent content and eventually you will get noticed more and more by well-established people on the platform, and you will grow more and more. Don't give up.
Well anyways...Good luck, and get ready to grow bigger!
