If you just joined #Steemit and you would like to move faster, please, follow just 3 steps for making a really fast start.
- Comment posts - the first and major step.
but not with just "thank you" practically about nothing. Please, carefully read a post and make constructive comments and you would always be a benefited for. For your smart (funny) comments you will always get Upvotes and followers, even if it's old posts
Why am I considering a commenting as a major step? Because beside to get upvotes, you should start to think how to grow your followers base. If you would only post-post-post, how your potential followers would know about you? and you don't have a luxury just post and wait one perfect moment when people would start to resteem your post for sharing your words to others. Instead of waiting that perfect moment you should create your visibility with your posts.
I don't have any whales in my followers and my probability to get valuable upvotes for my posts equals to 0. But when I comment a Big Fish post, I get a real chance to bring my words to a bigger audience and as a result, earn bigger rewards.
Upvote posts for supporting users and they will support you. Do remember: we grow together
How to vote with less power without burning yourself, read my postResteem posts which are a matter for you. It will improve your own blog visibility and would allow you to make some extra money
One more extra: ask questions. I mean it. Ask questions in your posts and in your comments, start discussions and be active in your replies
.... and, please, don't begging "follow me/I follow you" "upvote for upvote" etc.... it does work on other platforms but doesn't work on #steemit and would only make you look silly

If you feel this post is helpful for you, then comment my post and resteem it for your brothers-followers
Thanks for this post allfabeta, it's really helpful for new bloggers to have pieces that help us get started. Do you know if anybody blogs about the tags to use on Steemit? This is the thing I am finding the most difficult to get my head around!

very good tips, allfabeta. So, you don't suggest buying Steem to power-up? and how about self upvoting

I did buy Steems for my Steem Power up. It works for my. But I did it for supporting my followers but not for making some extra money.
If I would suggest to do this for others? I don't know. If you have money which you can put here without any pain if they would burn, then my answer is Yes.
In other cases you should understand all your risks, including a risk completely loses these money

@allfabeta, precisely the correct approach to start out with... engagement is what will help build a following in the long run... the whole "begging for votes/follows" might earn you a few cents right now... but those people tend to disappear very quickly when they discover there's no "easy money" here.
Part of our responsibility as Steemit citizens is also to sometimes flag abusive use of the site (as I just did with another comment here).

IMHO, if you a newbie or minnow comments are paid better than posts.
Let's see the true: how many whales do you have in your followers? I have zero, so there is 0% probability what a whale would see my post and upvote it. BUT my comments in Big Fish blogs could see a lot of whales (potentially), so rewards are always bigger and probability to get a bigger upvote is higher

May be something would change now. I don't know
