Hi Steemians,
CONTEST: All for One and One for all (#AFOFA) #01
Hi Steemians,
Finally, here we are. Its the CONTEST DAY of #AFOFA Contest#01. AFOFA contest is designed to help minnows grow their Steemit accounts by getting crowd UPVOTES on their great content. Once we generate significant amount of SBD from this contest, a portion of it will be used for rewarding contestants of future contests.
By participating in this content you become eligible to win an amazing prize of upvotes from the participants of the contest and surely more followers!!
We noticed so many original content creators on Steemit platform, who create great content and add value to the Steemit platform, however, their post go unnoticed due to high traffic on the Steemit social platform.

This is a fun way to promote those content creators, who are underdogs on this Steemit platform.

Hello Steemians,
For #AFOFA #02 series I want to take a pause because I see almost 0 participation from participants & steemians during #AFOFA #01. There is no point moving forward without analyzing the reason behind this failure. I'm going to analyze it and we will surely see #AFOFA again in a modified way so that the community will accept it. Till further notice, there will be no #AFOFA series.
Thanks!
Steem ON!

Heart to Heart
-- Dear #AFOFA contest Participants, I hope everyone is doing well. I'm writing this to followup with all the participants, who still not submitted their entries. It look a lot of efforts & time to drive traffic to this contest so that the minnows/ participants will benefit with better recognition/followers/networking on Steemit platform.
I'm highly disappointed that only @tonoloway-nation, @truedwell and @vinesh submitted their entries so far!
We need to be passionate about whatever we are doing. If we are not dedicated, then how can you expect that your followers will show interest?
Each participant is a pillar of this #AFOFA contest and they need to be willing to help each other and every minnows on Steemit.
This is the very reason, that today I didn't announced #AFOFA contest#2.
I'm still optimistic but without support from participants and Steemit community, my vision for the future of #AFOFA contest is still clouded!
Steem ON!

-- Dear #AFOFA contest Participants, today went through all the posts and I liked @vinesh Bitcoin Hardfork or Softfork post. As I'm the only voter and I see no participation from other participants and Steemit community. I'm declaring @vinesh as the WINNER of this contest.
P.S. @vinesh, please share link of any new post of your and I'll upvote it. I request my fellow #AFOFA participants to do the same.

Hi @cryptoqu33n, I thank you for giving me a platform to showcase my posts! I appreciate your time and resource spent on AFOFA.
I'm sorry that I didn't check your post earlier. I've not been a regular user of steemit. I had my priorities away from steemit and I wish that steemit has some method of giving notifications about mentions in posts, so that the user is aware of it.
I look forward to writing more posts in future and be a part of the next AFOFA!

@manas-- I'm still working on my post but in the mean time let me answer your question briefly. There are two approaches to gain followers and steem power (reputation).
In first approach people randomly start following everyone and ask them to do the same for them. In my opinion this approach will only give you followers but its of no use as it will not give you reputation!!
Other approach is to create good content for steemit platform and it will attract whales ( investers with big accounts) and when whales comes to your post, then will bring followers to your post. You need to work hard on your content. Followers will come to you eventually.
Respect your followers and make a bonding with them.
If you have any other question, then feel free to ask.

@manas1 - I visited your post. Content is good however you need to work on formating. I recommend you this amazing post by @smackit on improvising writing skills. You need to follow his strategy step by step. Writing a good quality article initially takes a lot of time, however, with practice, you will be able to cut it short.
One more thing, I want to remind you, that I can see that the pictures you used in your post seems to copies from somewhere. I strongly suggest if you use someone else picture or artwork, please give them credit in your post.
Remember there are no shortcuts to success.
Steem ON!
