How to Get Followers on Steemit

in basictraining •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello guys, today we are going to talk about how to get followers on Steemit. This is one of the most frequently asked questions for beginners, how to gain an audience because this is the most important thing that you can have on Steamit account. People who see your posts popping up on the home screen. So how do you get people to follow you?


*#1

First of all be persistence. What I'm doing is this is very important, I am writing every single day. I am trying to write only quality posts. This is not always possible but in most of the time, it is. You don't have to invest hours in your quality post. Sometimes just a small post that you created in 30 minutes can still be a quality post. Just find a topic that is interesting. Write something about it. Style your posts. Make it look nice and cross-promote it as much as you can.


#2

You can cross promote on Facebook on Twitter, on all your social media and make sure you share your content with other people.

#3

Write comments on the articles that you are reading. People will often just follow you for your comments rather than because they like your posts. It will be very difficult to find your posts but it will be very easy to see your comments when you are writing on their posts. They will get a notification and they will see your comment in their reply section. And you should always respond to all the comments except when they are inappropriate or aggressive or just spam.


#4

When you are just starting a new account. You should write an introduction post. That is very helpful to find people initially to follow you. You will not get hundreds of people following you but you can make a little bit of money. Make sure you do it well. Make sure you use "introduceyourself" as your main tag and a good thumbnail, with a good headline. A photo of yourself, of your family or something that you do for work. Just make sure that it looks nice.


These are all good things you can do to sharpen your profile. Write every day and make sure your posts transmit some kind of message. You need to be persistent and create tons of content. You need to do it to get recognition on Steemit. Don't think it can just happens overnight. It is a process and it will take time. Good luck to you all.

You're very welcome! @faisalrajput

thanks for the article!

Your welcome! @fantasyman

Awesome you now hold contests! :) I agree with the commenting and not just spammy comments because you remember what they say about a post you've worked on. It's a good way to connect and not just follow, coz we all have followers who are just there but they may have already forgotten about you.

I actually remember you coz when I was starting you replied to me and you were also commenting on my posts. I appreciate that :)

I absolutely agree with you, it's better to connect with people and not just follow. Yes, I remember you too. I really like your writing!. I'm very happy to see you doing really well. Keep it up and you'll be a big whale soon! @wanderlass

Thank you! I'm also glad to see how you're growing so fast here. You have also made your followers engaged. Great job! See you around :)

very helpful tips I am glad i came across this page

Thank you! @cyrexxlm

Your post is very inspirational. Writing is difficult, but not imposibble, I said that because the people do not have the habit to write quality content, you are right when you said "I am writing every single day" persistence, it is the real key. Thank you for this post. I´m going to try your strategy

You're very welcome @pescalante63. Just find a topic that you like and keep reading. Wish you luck!

Hello friend thank you very much for your message, excellent recommendations, good luck for all..

Don't mention it, Good luck to you as well! @marioberlese

Nice post. I appreciate it.

So far, I don't have any problem getting followers. I follow back, every
time. If you do me the honor of following me, I WILL follow you back.

The problem being that I get a lot of less than admirable followers. I get spammers and slammers (really, 20 posts in a day? You spent some serious time with that, didn't you?) Urrggghhh it's like clickbait. But the solution is pretty easy. Unfollow is my friend!

Thanks for a wonderful informational post. Very enlightening.

Agreed with you.... and your solution is so that easy......

Your very welcome @budinurdin

Yes, but sometimes we can get some good visibility. We take our chance! Just ignore the spammers! Don't give up! @bigtom13

Good to know that, its definitely not easy to write something quality daily but by consistent training we could do it.

Yes, I think if we keep at it we will do really well! @keithmontallana

I need this advice, thank you so much!

You're welcome @mk3jetta

You’re very welcome @skullangs

I have a query @vaansteam, a couple of days ago I was scrolling @coolguy123 back through his archives. Now if I found the post I had expected to, and I did, and I liked it, and I did, would a vote now for a two month old post still help @coolguy123 ?

Only new post from 1-7 days hope that help :)

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Ah well. Thanx for info. Some older posts are definitely worthy of votes, and with the variety and number of members, one week is not enough to read many. That's how I found @coolguy123 's post. He was commenting, he made sense, I visited, saw another of his that led me to believe it was a follow on from previous, so scrolled and found the one I wanted two and half months back. It was worth a vote, and should be up for one. Taking and resteeming your How To blog from five days ago would lead me to believe you've done others awhile back, and I would hope as good, so I should be able to scroll back and find and if helpful to me, vote, and that should still count today, I reckon.
One would hope that posterity might dig out old archives and paste together an e-book for sale or for free, it for high end printing as coffee-table/lounge perusal.
Now, obviously should someone want to copy/paste all my 'grammar' blog, that's fine by me, but one day when I've sorted and typed all these notes, I might want to copy/paste and publish an e-book, for whomever. For instance.
Some of these travel blogs, like @hanen in Egypt, or @lilygolightly in Siberia, would make wonderful little coffee-table magazines. Sometimes one just wants to sit back and read with a glossy in hand, not crunch over an android and scroll, looking, surfing . . .

Thank you @simon62 for taking your time to write such a long comment. I wish you luck with your dreams and business.

Ha, it is a dream when you think it so, but becomes a future reality when it is participated in, by first, talking and spreading the idea. Pass it around, before you cross it off as a dream. All manifestation was first dreamed. Cheers.

Have you come across @rewardpoolrape or suchlike? I found two others doing same copy/paste, and when I checked back they write no blog. Do they gain, how to they gain, what do they gain? Just seems bl--dy silly!

Really helpful @vans team. . Nice post

Thank you so much, friend! I always appreciate your comment!

Thanks for the great information. As I read these how to be successful on Steemit it seems to be all about the content! I'm looking forward to becoming a successful Steemian with awesome content. Now to sit down and write all those post ideas bouncing around in my head! In Health! T

I'm glad you took my advice. Hope you will do really well on Steemit. Good luck my friend! @tamala

Another helpful read. I will use some of your suggestions today, some I will get to over time, all that I have read from you so far has value, there is no doubt about that. I would say my primary goal here is to simply be me, I will process info and work out the details. Best.

Yes, Just be you. I sure you will do a good job!. And thank you for your wonderful comment! @dougj34

Every of your words encourage to me ! Thank you.

I'm happy to hear that! :) @suhtetaung

Thanks for the info, it really cool..

Thanks, I'm glad :) @chuksytim
