Hello, fellow Steemians. Today I will share with you the secret to my little success here on Steemit (at least to my eyes). I have been on this platform now for a month (and a couple of days) and 900+ of you has been kind enough to follow me on my journey here. First, I would like to say that this platform is simply amazing!
The community as a whole seems greatly involved. Whether you are here for investment purposes or simply consuming content, you are going to be making money. Just a click of an upvote button and voila! You get rewards!
It makes spending time over on Facebook and Instagram feel like a waste of time. Steemit is the future and the future is now!
Some of you might already have visited or read my content from my small but growing Travel Blog, Always Wanderlust (https://www.alwayswanderlust.com). I simply write and produce content born out of my passion for photography and writing - making next to nothing in return for my time and investment.
Now here on Steemit that has completely changed. I am rewarded for producing content! Now there is even more motivation to kick it up a notch!
Since I myself am a newb, I have made lots of mistakes, had a few successes, learned from it, and will now share it with new Steemians just joining the platform.
23 Tips For Hitting the Ground Running on Steemit
1. Invest in Steem – I realize that not everyone has the capital to invest in the platform, but if you do, put down your own money and convert it to Steem Power ASAP. This platform is poised to explode and attract more people. Investing also gives you more advantage on this platform with the power of your votes! I personally have been putting down my own money because I believe in the platform and you should too.
2. Do not beg for upvotes or do a follow for follow – What works on other social media does not work here. Besides, it's simply annoying. You will notice that I never ask for your votes, you should not either. You will never get anywhere spamming here on Steemit.
3. Join PAL (MinnowBOOSTER https://discord.gg/k7fWQD7) on discord channel – Discord is a chat app you can download or use within a browser. The PAL channel is a good place to network with established and new Steemians. There is an upvote section where you can get free upvotes from their bots every 12 hours. Just type $upvote (and the link to your post here).
4. Use @Originalworks– When you post a new article reply to it yourself with @Originalworks. You will get an automatic upvote from the account.
5. Use 50/50 Split Rewards instead of Power Up – This is the best ROI as of now. Setting it to Power Up is dumb. I made this mistake by accident on three of my posts – I have missed on SBD rewards. Maybe they will change this system on the next hard fork but for now, you’re going to lose money if you Power Up.
6. Be genuine – Please read the article and know what you are talking about before replying to posts. Do not spam with follow me or check out my stuff or anything of the like. At least give a coherent response to let the author know you actually read his/her content. Just commenting for the sake of commenting to get rewards is annoying.
7. ReSteem your posts with ReSteemit – This is another free service meant to help planktons and minnows. Simply change/replace the https:// with “re” and press enter. For example https://steemit.com/travel/@adonisabril/exploring-the-town-under-the-castle-on-the-rock to resteemit.com/travel/@adonisabril/exploring-the-town-under-the-castle-on-the-rock
8. Join Qurator - @qurator is a quality content curator in the Steemit community. For a small registration fee, you will get one daily upvote from them worth more than your registration fee!
9. Publish your Steemit Account on other social media – I was flagged by the @steemcleaners account and lost out on rewards (as well as my upvoters) because I did not do this. While I disagree with what they did, I believe such a service is necessary for curbing plagiarism and spam on the platform. Check out my Twitter account to see what I'm talking about - https://twitter.com/WanderlustAV (links back to my Steemit profile).
10. Use Upvote Bots – The voting for yourself and buying votes from bots rather threw me off when I first joined Steemit. However, it is unavoidable if you want to progress on the platform. Whatever your stance is on the matter there is no denying this is your only (at least for me) path to the Trending page. I have noticed that whales are too busy voting for themselves and exchanging votes between each other - there is virtually almost no way, you as a minnow can get up there. There are exceptions but it is not the norm.
11. Join other communities on Discord and SteemitChat – A lot of networking occurs outside a Steemit. If you are just starting out it is good to join other communities to get you on the ground running. The most useful ones when you're just starting out: Utopian.IO, SteemTrail, Qurator, and Steemit Bloggers.

12. Produce good content – This is obvious but one that needs mention. Whether you are a good writer, photographer, or videographer, make sure you put your best foot forward. More good content is what this platform needs. I do photography and travel writing, so you will see many picture posts and stories about travel from me. You might be good at something else and whatever that is, I am sure you can contribute to the community. Plagiarism, while could be a talent, is not tolerated so do not do it.
13. Participate in photo contests like @photocontests by @Juliank – Best free way to get free rewards and exposure, which in turn get you more followers.
14. Join Steem Follower – It’s free to join. It is a voting exchange platform. You get the same votes per each upvote you give on the platform. An easy way to get bigger rewards (you get author rewards instead of curation).
15. Join Steem Engine – Want more followers? Join Steem Engine. It is also a voting exchange service like the one above but with the addition of followers.
16. Post at least 4 times a day – It might seem like much but when you are just starting out, you have a lot of catching up to do. It also returns the most rewards for self-voting - self-voting seems to be the norm here and widely tolerated. The jury is still out on the morality of self-voting but: "Dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore. You got tornadoed to the Steemit universe." If you happen to have good photos, jokes, stories, etc., Post them about 4 hours apart during the day. Keep an eye on your voting power though.
17. Vote at least 10x a day – Go read and consume other Steemians content and vote accordingly. Voting gives you curation rewards and shows that you are involved in the community. Again, it is good if you invest in some SP (Steem Power). Once you get past 500 SP, you can control your vote’s percentage.
18. Keep an eye on your voting power at https://steemnow.com – Do not just vote blindly hoping to rake in curation rewards. Make your vote count. The less voting power you have the fewer rewards.
19. Post on Busy.org – Busy will give you an automatic upvote (when you use the tag "busy" and post on busy.org) proportional to your followers so it behooves you to follow this guide and build your following.
20. Follow other Steemians – Do not stand on a pedestal thinking everyone owes you something. This is a community and not made for solo acts. Do not SPAM with the follow for follow tactic.
21. Check out for grammatical errors – Nothing says bad content like bad grammar. I use a tool called Grammarly (https://app.grammarly.com) – it has an extension for chrome. It detects grammatical errors on the Steemit or Busy editor; in fact, it detects all grammatical errors in anything you write within the Chrome browser (Facebook, email, etc.). A must-have in any writer’s arsenal!
22. Format Your Posts – Spend some time making your posts visually readable. Learn a few Markdown Styles (https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/). You want your readers to be glued to their screens reading your posts.
23. Be patient – It takes time to grow an audience. I have some experience growing an audience travel blogging for nearly 2 years and it is the same here; it is going to take time. Do not treat the platform as a get rich quick scheme.
I was just thinking about redesigning my motorcycle :)

Wew. That is a lot to take in. I am new at this. I need to just take one a day and read and try to understand. When you are really knew, words like platform, blog, and bots can even be confusing. Remember us older folks didn't even know these words much less use them. Thanks for the info. It will take me a few days to learn all this. This article will help me get there.

Yeah, it can be confusing at first. Logic is thrown out the window sometimes. Bots are basically Whale accounts (the ones with huge voting power) that sell their votes in exchange for SBD or Steem (money basically). Seems massively corrupt but when you put it in the context of the decentralized Steemit platform it makes perfect sense.

Hey Bro, thanks for the article, quality content, this took some work. I have a few things to add:
a) I personally do not think that you have to post four
times a day
b) Quality content is a big thing, you are promoting it but I see you posting stuff like a single picture with one sentence about which plant it displays earning 70$+, I do not necessarily think, that this is quality content nor do I think that this post is worth 70$. It is about your great networking and more betting on quantity
c) I think one thing which you did not mention, but you are doing, is to brand your posts with steemit logos, or do stuff like you did with your motorcycle. People like that!
d) Contribute to the Steem Community by promoting Steemit somewhere else, this is huge.
Keep it up (:

Well, you have to strike a balance. To grow my Travel Blog during the first six months, I had to be a prolific writer then eventually what was 2-3 posts a week dwindled down to one a week and once every two weeks. Once you have a following you can dictate the amount of content you are putting out.

Woah! That was one long list. I am still working my way around here and this is one of the first articles I read. I have to admit, while you have done everyone a favour by compiling these tips on a single page, I am slightly overwhelmed and intimidated. I am still trying to wrap my head around voting bots and wary of joining communities that will give me free upvotes. I may be totally off the grid here, but it feels like cheating? I am very new to this entire Steem scene so my doubt may come across as silly or may raise eyebrows, but I was of the belief that only good content and genuine audience would be enough to break through all the white noise. Some of the tips you mentioned here look not only like a lot of work but also sound unethical. I'm sure you aren't doing anything worth frowning upon but at a first glance some of these tips (automatic upvotes or exchanging upvotes) are making me skeptical of this whole thing.
But all the other tips about being original and not spamming are something that I second wholeheartedly. I am also eager to check out the other links that you have shared to help me increase my reach.
In general, thank you very much for being so meticulous in your tips and in particular, if you could answer my doubts, that would be great!

Just observed the trending page...Basically, self-voting is widely accepted. The problem is, we all share the same rewards pool. Some votes here are worth more than others - while your vote may count to 0.1 SBD a wealthy person (whale) with massive SP can basically vote him/herself 300 SBD and much more! Yes, self-voting and buying votes from an outsiders view is unethical - there's a whole ongoing discussion about it here on Steemit. But, think within the platform, how you would succeed. Can you compete with a 300 SBD vote on subpar content that's guaranteed to hit the trending page with your 0.1 SBD vote and great content?

I kinda get your point. I have been posting on and off and from the way the site grew exponentially, I thought I had hit a holy grail with Steemit.

But boting and paying to get more attention seems so wrong to me and not what i expected to do on steemit at all...

Wow ! Super Tips für jeden Anfänger wie mich, danke! Werde mir das Eine oder andere rauspicken, vor allem die Formatierung meiner sehr unbeholfenen Beiträge. In irgendwelche Push-Hilfen zu Investieren, kann ich mir leider noch nicht vorstellen!
Aber Steemit ist einfach genial, Hoffentlich wird es auch im Deutschsprachigen raum bald ein wenig größer!

As a newb this is one of the best posts I’ve read! I’m only two weeks into my journey and still trying to grasp everything. I’ll be honest, It can be discouraging putting out high value content and seeing zero views and interaction. I was considering calling it quits, but this gave me a boost in motivation to press on and try even harder! Thank you very much.

Before developing your own way, it is good to see as many success stories as possible.
Everything does not fit me, especially 4 x day posting.
If I do that, I will feel like I am doing a business.
My way is enjoy steem and let it make money.
The other points, I will try.
Thank you very much for sharing.

I've tried the voting bots but I'm still contemplating about it. Someone told me that they do not like it because they will think that my content is cheap. But how on earth can we minnows stand out with all the thousands of posts. It feels like being recognized by a whale is a bet in the lottery. I used the bots in 2 posts and it felt good to see some amount and votes on something I've worked hard for.
Sorry I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining. I haven't slept trying to figure out how to be successful here and I'm glad to have found this. Thank you.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
That's BS. Look at my wallet. Look at this post. All voting bots. I've had good experience with most of them but today I'm having issues with @buildawhale (mistakes will cost you) - avoid this one for now and stick to lays and smartmarket. Both are very reliable.
Seriously. Just look at what's on the trending pages. They're all self-voting and circle jerking whales. How are you supposed to get up there without whale/bot votes?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Exactly. I'm really excited about Steemit but it can be frustrating when you've worked hard and then someone who doesn't gets lucky to get a whale vote. I really want to be successful here and feel like I can't let this opportunity pass. I felt guilty earning 10 dollars for the bidded post, but you're right, even those in trending use these services.
I will follow each steps you said here, except I can't invest in Steem at the moment. Thank you.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Well, you and I (I'm assuming) don't know any whales. The evolution of Steemit now as it stands, favors those with High SP or those with enough SBD/Steem to buy votes. So you shouldn't feel guilty or any less for using the service...frankly, in the end, the bots and whoever is running the bots are the winners. Not you or I check @buildawhale for example...gobbled up 15 SBD from me because of a simple mistake. Choose your bots wisely.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
We go into why we cannot do refunds anymore for user errors in the refund policy. It isn't because we want to keep your money, it is because how the bot tracker works users bid based on how much SBD is sent to our bot. They don't know or care if it is an invalid bid or is refunded, they stop bidding when the window looks full.
I am working on a solution that would allow the bot tracker to accurately measure our bid windows and allow us to offer refunds again but as it stands, the site is out of my control does not report invalid bids and issues that cause refunds. There are also users using clever tricks to exploit bots that have refunds.
I am sorry about that, but it is not because we are trying to steal your money. Too many variables out of my control that caused me to have to stop refunds. In the past, we handed over 500 refunds out manually but the bot tracker changed the game dramatically.

That's a lot, thanks for the warning. And yes, I don't know a whale so I guess we have to rely on the whale bots :)

Perhaps you can also make an article on how to avoid costly mistakes. I know someone who also uses boosters to gain upvotes and he lost a few SBD just because he forgot to include the post link.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Human errors are bound to happen on the platform. There aren't any safeguards in place as of now. I accidentally sent 15 SBD to @jer because of an Autocomplete on the transfer section. It was meant for @jerrybanfield just sucks how some bots don't have automatic mistake detection.
