2000 Followers! Wohooo, what a fantastic start to 2018

Hello friends... how’s it going on Steemit?

Wonderful start to the New Year for me, now that I have 2000 followers on Steemit :)
2017 was a kickass year for all of us Steemians. Being a rider myself I got to travel a lot in 2017, the past year was good for me. 2017 was a year that showered me with happiness, my efforts started paying off, as I had joined Steemit in June 2017, which is just 7 months ago and looking back at the journey so far...all I can say is, it was fantastic.

Check out my Introduction post which itself was the first post I ever made on Steemit https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bikergirl/bikergirl-from-india-joins-steemit-and-i-m-thrilled-to-be-here . It was a huge boost for me since I got more than 400 Upvotes and a lotta comments from the whole community.

@firepower introduced me to this amazing platform... where soon after, I started posting about my travel stories and also got to share my life experiences through my photos and blogs.

More than just a social media platform, Steemit changes lives, I got to visit South Africa the past year from the earnings that I made from blogging on Steemit alone, check out https://steemit.com/life/@bikergirl/how-posting-on-steemit-paid-for-my-flights-to-a-south-african-adventure I mean can you Imagine, how happy I was, the level of support this platform gave me, to follow my passion is beyond expression.

The waves created by Steemit was unbelievable for a lot of my friends. I can’t thank you enough People, all of you guys In this community were very supportive. As gratitude to all the support that I received. I wanted to help the minnows on Steemit in return, and that's how I started a new contest called #Mytripcontest. It is doing well so far, If you haven’t seen It yet please do check it out at https://steemit.com/contest/@bikergirl/mytrip-contest-1 this contest happens every week, you are all welcomed to participate and win!!

How did I get 2000 followers?

• The biggest thing is interaction, quality, and consistency.

• I also make an effort to learn from others. I ask questions when possible, and implement strategies that I see working for them.

• Make sure you are following people and interacting with them. Respond to their comments and upvote their photos. And do not just use cliche responses, but be genuine.

• Definitely stay away from “follow me,” or “check out my page” type comments.

• And, I always make sure to be myself. Post quality content, that way people respond better when you allow your personality to shine through and don’t just treat them as someone to get likes or follows.
