"Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re are absolutly right" ~ Henry Ford.
Whats Up STACKERS!!
This is one of the most talked about subject on "Steemit", "How do I start getting tons of upvotes from Dolphins and Whales?"... (minnows also). 🐠🐬🐳
There are many factors what makes people "upvote" your posts regardless if you have great V.S. bad content.
Too many people think that content is everything but thats not the only reason why, it only plays a small part on this platform.
In any Social Media Platform that your on such as Facebook, Instagram, andSnapchat etc, you need to start "Playing The Game". 🎮
What does this mean? You really have to learn how things work in the "Social" aspect of any platform. Let's talk about Facebook for a minute. So many people spend all day trying to get "Likes" and "Followers" on a daily bases and 90% tend to fail at this. 🙇🏼♂️
Facebook has an algorithm, the more you engage with others by liking and commenting, the more of these people will see your posts when you publish.
As you may know, I'm very active on Social Media and tend to get 300-1500 likes a post on Facebook. I let alone generated around "500,000 Likes" last year on the "Evil" Facebook! 🤯
For example, if I posted a picture of a "Hummer" (I own one 🤣) and another person posts the same thing, I would generate 100X more "Likes" than he or she ever will with the same followers. Why is that?
The reason why is because I "Played The Game" on facebook and interact with hundreds of people a day and when I post something, they will see my posts.
So what does this have to do anything with Steemit?
It's a little different on Steemit as there is no algorithm and only a "HOT" feed that lasts about 5 hours if you have enough upvotes.
What should one do to get more upvotes from Dolphins and Whales? I had to learn the hard way when I first Started because I was making pennies in the beginning. I didn't care much as I love "Social Media" and "Cryptocurrencies" and seen Steemit as just another place to post my content. 👨🏼💻
However, I wanted to "Play The Game"! What dolphins and whales look for on Steemit can be based on many things depending who they are. 💁🏼♂️
What we want to see is that people not only post "Good" Content but what are they doing to help build the Steemit community. Are they "Powering up"?, Are they promoting "Steemit"?, Are they "Active" by upvoting an commenting on others people posts? Are they giving back to people? Are you making their lives better? Are you making it fun here? ... I can list hundreds!
"Powering up with Steem" is one of the most important things to do if you want to start getting more votes from "Dolphins" and "Whales".... Simple as that!
Let me tell you why, if we see you powering up and giving back "upvotes" to the people of the community... we tend to do that back to you because you are helping others grow!
Why would "Dolphins" and "Whales" upvote your posts constantly if we see you powering down every week and upvoting "pennies" to others (milking the system)? To me that is very selfish! 🤦🏼
Don't get me wrong, if you are a "Minnow"... you can work your way up just like everything you do in life. We all did, including myself. When I first started, I "Powered up" everything for the first 6 MONTHS without ever taking any profits! 😳
That's what I had to do to get the attention of the community and became one of the "Top 1000 Steemians" in several months, heck I dominated it... from a minnow to a "Dolphin" in 3 months! 🏆
So guys, if you want to win... follow my philosophy and study all the people who are doing well on this platform... in no time at all, you will win!
So in other words start "Powering Up", it's ok to take some profits here and there but when first starting out, your goal should be between 5,000 - 10,000 Steem Power in 2018! 📆
Hope this info helps many of you out... I know this is a long post, but I wanted to help all the newbies and show them what it takes to become successful on Steemit. Heck, you can use this philosophy in life and it will work the same way. Thanks for reading Steemians! 📚
Have an awesome Sunday and "Keep on STACKIN"! 💞

@odesanya, it's is not about how much Steem power you get back, rather, it is about how generously you enpower others to maximize their stay on Steemit.

Right, but it's still more beneficial to get SBD now, since you can use the market to gain even MORE steem. Once the SBD falls below steem, it won't make sense but to 100% power up on every post. Unless you are reliant on Steem for your income.

Yeah, @kaylinart I have been here a month. And really active in the last 3 weeks with blogging twice a day and commenting. I haven't earned much but the thought about cashing out and powering down has not even crossed my mind. I feel convinced this platform and the people within it are going places. And it's a great investment with powering Up and a great investment in the people here and interacting and connecting with them

What an eye opener. I was much concerned with the content of my posts but least did i know that the more i play the Game the more i get familiarise with the game and the more people recognise me. I thought i had not really earned anything so i can not contribute but now i know that even the little i can give to someone matters. And am on my way to power up in other to be able to contribute more to the community.

That's true.You not only have to work hard on your content but your behaviour too.
My philosophy for steem and in general for my life is
If you will keep powering up, you might not see much results in the recent days so you will have to be patient like a marathon runner but after that, you will get payouts like a Sprinter.Then your hard work and patience will pay off.
I joined just two weeks ago, so I am fully following this approach.

Mmm getting to 5000 sp will not be easy, but I'll try :). I fully support your philosophy, I am not as good as you or others, but for many months I have only done power up and supported many people. I removed something last month but only because I had to buy some coins, now I'm holding the SBD hoping that the change returns favorable.

Thank you Charles for tips! This one luckily i already understood before. Steemit is a social platform and without being social you won't success.
Sometimes i see people with not so little SBD and low SP. Not powering down ... And sometimes i think that they don't even know how and why would they. I convert SBD to STEEM and power up every time i'm on my PC and i have some SBD. Trying to swim like a dolphin ... :D
5k+ SP is my plan for 2018 maybe 10k? Who knows?

When you make a post, half your rewards are given in STEEM POWER, which gives you ability to give higher upvotes and collect curation rewards on your upvotes.
Consequently, one can buy steem power with bitcoin or litecoin.
Some guys withdraw their steem power, which is short sighted in my opinion.

Thanks for your update on the most important part of getting people to stick with steemit. I found it very hard to begin with, but I try my best every day.
I try to write 4 decent posts every day, but just like everyone else some days it does not work for me, so I reduce my posts, and not my quality.
I have recently managed a few chats with some some friends I made on here, through steemit chat, but it can be awkward requesting a chat through a reply to one of their posts, as most of the time we are not online at the same time, but it does work well when you get to manage a nice chat discussing mutual interests.
I love steemit more and more each day, way to go, just keep loving it.

How much is 5,000 to 10,000 STEEM Power in USD? You sound right, because although I've only been on STEEMIT for less than a week, I've posted 41 times and I saw only $2.84 in my Account Wallet. It was free to join but I had to look for good articles like this one to learn how to play the game. Now I know what to do. Time to power up! Thanks @stackin :)

It's funny, Charles, you and I joined Steemit around the same time last year, but I never really put a lot of effort into it beyond simple investigation, and a bit of playing around.
It's great to see how well it's worked out for you, and I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't use it more over the last 7 months! No point looking backwards though - have already begun shifting my usage patterns the last week or so and am now finding it so damned addictive!

Know what's insane... Some of the originals (arrived in summer of 2016) have way less SP than many of the relatively new playaz in the game. Why? Could it be that they didn't have an aggressive mindset from the start and got lax in their Steem goals?
Now I'm not saying this to point fingers or make anyone feel bad. But there's a lesson to be learned for new comers. Treat Steem as you'd treat a Microsoft stock in the mid-90s or a Google stock in early 2000s.
DO NOT LET THAT STEEM GO! ☺

Wow - I had no idea that Powering up played such a crucial role. I have not powered down a single time... and I won't. I want to HODL til Steemit is in the triple digits. I am using my Steemit account as my Savings account. I actually just won a court settlement for over $25,000 - $50,000 -- CND.. (it's a class action suit I am involved in) - and I am planning on using 10% of that to buy steem when it comes in later this spring. I have been telling everybody I know about steem. I am even going to start teaching classes to people who come to my husband's Bitcoin and CryptoCurrency Meetup groups and who are interested.

Your definitely right man with this commentary. I also think you do need to engage with those whales/dolphins on a regular basis.

Also engagement is important..
The biggest thing that helped me was finding people who were just as new as me, and becoming friends.. The ones who powered up now have more power to vote you with, the ones that don't power up usually stop posting.. Find the people who will be interested in the things you say, and become friends with them. Maybe they will be whales someday

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm a week old here and still learning how all of this works. I've had a ton of fun meeting new people with similar interests and I've learned so much on new topics due to the fact that steemit is all about content and information. It's been a good relief since Facebook can be very petty at times. Like you did when you started out, I'm just making pennies here and there and then I see these posts that get hundreds of dollars. It's very encouraging to hear that you also struggled at the beginning but are now guiding others to achieve the same things as you. Keep up the awesome work!

I am fairly new here and trying to reach out and network.Myself and my fiance @bunnymoney stumbled across your post this evening. I wrote an article today about this and if you would be so kind to read it and give me your input since you have been here a while, I would greatly appreciate it. I aspire to be on your level here on steemit and judging by your posts, we think quite a bit a like.

This information of your is really a great help for a newbies like me. I don't really relying on how much income would be given back for my posts .all that matters to me is the freedom and knowledge to be shared with others that I can share. I'm fond of art and music also a traveller and nature -keeper one. This platform makes me feel free. Thank you @stackin

Great advice, as always! I am so excited to have taken your new years advice. I focused on followers, connecting with at least 25 a day. I kept my goal of 250 followers by Jan 15th! Thanks for the tip! I am also glad to have my daughter @prettydecent give Steemit a try. She is loving it. Thanks for the encouragement! Stackin the steem is the next goal. Blessings

In defense of some of the "upvoting pennies" I have to resort to that from time to time or I can't get my vote power back up over 50%. I know that is a COMMON problem. The more engaged you are, the thinner you have to spread your votes, yet (to me) it still makes sense to upvote myself at full power before a post pays out as I am trying really hard to earn steem to power up...
There are conundrums, I will leave it at that!

I need to help more people smile.
I want to be a whale.
I need more steem power.

It's about time someone keeps it real about how to get votes. I'm tired of people only saying good content. It is way more about being social to get upvotes. I know cats making bank and all they do is make videos praising steem and how steem is so good, and bitcvoin is going to the moon. No shit we all know steem is the shit and bitcoin is going to the moon. looooool

Thank you for sharing this with us. I for instance I really didn't know that powering up helps alot. As you said powering up help the dolphins and the whales to upvote you. This fact I didn't know. Really grateful you shared this,I would now turn my focus more on powering up most of the time than to remove the little I get.
I hope you would deliver more of such post in order to help we the starters to pick up. Thanks again.

Thanx stackin.. Interesting post.. You are so interested that I start following and resteemd after reading your 1st post.. So now my goal is 10000 steem power.. But i am confusing about something.. Can you please help.. I read many posts about how to buy steem piwer regarding sbd price etc.. I am bit confused.. Simply a question we should buy steem power daily with one or 2 sbd we earn daily as i only earn pennies daily, is it better? Or we wait sometime or follow some special strategey..? What to do now.. I am posting less and commenting daily on many posts..

Excellent post! I’m pretty new to this platform but it seems like a very cool and engaging place. I am in YouTube and it’s fun to make videos and do live chats. But this is a whole different level of appreciation for the content and relationships that can be built here. I have two young sons, work, and trying to make a marriage work. But I will definitely promote the community and the movement! 👍🏼🍺🖕🏻

Great advice mate. To get to top 1000 in 3 months is insanely impressive. I'm no where near there but certainly plan to be at 10,000 SP in 2018.
Hell if I can, I'll strive for 15,000 SP in 2018 :P

Help to other always gives return in the long run.
I agree with your philosophy, but same time to grow up fast we have to more smart than the other. We have to do some smarter things, but not the wrong things. If we have the power, more persons will follow us and we have to help them.
I like your thinking very much.

Great info as always. I've been pouring 100% of my Steem and SBD into SP and finally starting to make a dent in my climb to my first 5000 SP. I just reached over 500 followers and it was not easy because I am selective about my feed so I'm not following everyone because I don't want to miss any of the important posts by @stackin or the minnows that I'm supporting.

Awesome ass post.
I used to write here everyday as a starving artist, thinking that my big break will magically come one day.
Then it hit me like, Steemit wasn't really made to be fair. If it was fair, then everyone would get the exact same payout everyday.
But that wouldn't make sense.
So as with life, that is unfair as fuck, if you want to get a head start to win... then stop playing fair.
That's how I eventually decided to just keep knowing people here.
But of course, I still love to write. I write to help and contribute here.
Disclaimer: When not playing fair, don't be an asshole.
Good one @stackin

Hey @aldentan you present an "angle" I hadn't really thought of. And it seems very valid. And what you said has made me reflect on my first month here. Because now that I think about it, I see some Steemians who get $100, $200 or more payouts with blog posts that are sometime just par or even less.
But like anything in Life ,sometimes being successful or getting ahead involves NOT just sheer Ability and Skill. But also how you connect to people, how they connect to you, getting to know others and being able to relate to them, and actually becoming friends with them etc..etc..
It's a full combo of things. Thanks again for shedding light on this as I'm learning each and everyday

What you are actually saying is you need to invest MONEY INTO the platform to get enough power to get noticed. Producing 'valuable' content feels like a waste if the next person would make 100x your reward for the same posts. Curating makes hardly any sense if you don't have whale bots spamvoting your resteems.
