As a Steemit user, we abide by no rules. There isn't a governing body and there are no regulations telling us what we can and cannot do. But that doesn't this is the Wild West of social media and anything goes. At least, not for those looking to be successful as a creator on the platform.
In today's video I'll explain 5 things you should be doing to build your Steemit account and make the platform a better place for everyone.

I agree that once you put your money where your time is, you will spend your time more wisely. I know that once I purchased STEEM with my own $$$'s the way I viewed Steemit.com changed drastically. I replied to every comment, upvoted every comment. Posted regularly. Original content, sourced my images, sourced my quotes. I've been watching my investment and influence grow over the past 200 days.
Thank you for this video. Lot's of good advice! @ironshield

Thanks @ironshield. I'm with you 100%. There's a lot to say about investing into your future and Steemit is no different. Sounds like you've done everything by the book and it's paying off nicely. You're a great example of how things should be done here on Steemit and in business in general. Keep up the awesome work!

Fantastic advice, @brandonfrye! I spent most of your video saying "EXACTLY!!!"
Keep up the good work: this kind of content is definitely adding some value - one of my favorite lines was "this is a community, not just a way to add to your bank account." I go through so many posts that are just a youtube video plopped into a Steemit post with no explanation and no interaction. Ack. I always feel like someone is trying to scam me or something.

Exactly, I think people are starting to recognize the difference between people who genuinely care about the Steemit community and those trying to make a buck. Great interaction and getting to know your following goes a LONG way and really helps you to become a better blogger/vlogger. :)

Somewhat. I plan to do a post about upvote bots very soon and my thoughts on using them. Overall I think they’re great for new steemians though.

I really enjoyed this post and I follow some of the same great habits you mentioned in your video. I found some of the same behaviors on the platform such as those who only post their content and do not reply to comments, much less upvote those of us who make a point in adding to the community by commenting and providing their thoughts and ideas on the material presented.
I am saving up my steem power and putting my all into SP. It's not a lot right now but over time it will grow. I plan to be here for the long term so I know I will eventually see some increase.
I thank you for providing great content that I enjoy viewing!
Wishing you the best in 2018!

Thank you for your post. It is interesting to see your 5 things you think everybody should be doing. I only doubt about your idea to post it on facebook, twitter, etc. Do you think steemit is ready to go mainstream (or should it be called mainsteem?) or it should be smaller and grow internally, fix the initial issues it encounters and then go mainstream, maybe becoming a next facebookish platform? I'm curious about your thoughts about that.
Happy new year!

Hey @markpu, great points. I personally feel that a lot of people could benefit from using Steemit as their go-to social platform... especially those who have struggled with building a following (or earning ad revenue) on other sites. Does it need to go mainstream? No, not really. I don't think that is necessary for the success of Steemit. But for those of us who have a following on other social sites and want to "share the love" with those people, then yeah I think it's appropriate to share with them.
Great question and thanks for your thoughts. I hope you and your family have a very Happy New Years! :)

I have to agree with you. On steemit you can get followers by making good quality posts, people don’t have to know you. I ‘met’ some people here that I directly liked because we shared a same passion and felt like they are nice people that I wanted to be connected with although I never met them in person. In e.g. facebook you have to know people in real life to build a network.
I’ll discuss steemit with some friends the upcoming days and see what they think about it. We usually use whatapp to share ideas and stories with each other and I’m curious what they think about using another platform (that even pays them to read and like stories).
Maybe it’s because I’m still a beginner and don’t know how to use steemit properly but my feed can be flooded sometimes with posts. If I would be following more people, how can I read posts by the people I really like? Maybe steemit has a solution for it, but I haven’t found it yet.
