Keys to Success on Steemit

First, I think one of the keys to getting people to find, vote and comment on your blog is for you to comment on their blog.

Second, if you comment I suggest you ask a question, which suggests you read the blog and have an opinion about its content.

Third, use their name like @pocket-change because the platform notifies you when some one mentions your name or replies to your blog with a comment. So using their name doubles your chance that they will notice you left them a comment. Thus increasing your chance of engagement.

Fourth, Seek out people whose interests are near yours or whose work you find interesting regardless of how it aligns with yours. For example you write about money. But you could still follow a photographer of airplanes, flowers or cities around the world if one of those things interested you.

Fifth, Remember, You are seeking engagement, people who like reading your work and you are looking for people whose content you like.

Sixth, Steemit is a social-media platform, so engagement so people discover you is key.

Seventh, The good thing about Steemit is there are about 1 million accounts.

Eighth, The bad thing about Steemit is that there are one million accounts.

Nine, Honestly, it might take more then one comment for people to swing over to your blog, but it’s a start.

Ten, be patient and always be the best version of you, when you write posts, write comments or answer questions. What you write becomes representative of who you are, and people will draw judgements based on your words.
After looking at your blog I like the way you write, and I find the subject intriguing. I want to upvote it and read some of your other posts. And that all started with your comment.

Eleven, Exposure.
I also would recommend you join the a Community of like minded people, those people have already decided they like articles about money and your articles which now are seen by your 50 followers will be be seen by almost 600 people who subscribe to that community.
You might also join the decentralize-finance community.

Twelve, If you comment on daily diary posts you can get an upvote from @steemcurator01 !! 😊

Good Luck!
