We all know that we need a certain amount of followers to grow, to be popular, and to earn money. If you've got no followers or few followers maybe getting upvotes is very hard to do. In some websites or social media platforms they send emails, spam people and do a lot of marketing effort to gain more followers. Here on steemit some people do a lot of efforts to post a great content to gain followers. Yes! That is quite effective, but the question to that is, how many good contents you need to do to have thousands of followers? For how long you need to do it? Probably it takes years, and if 1 year is 365 days and your target consistency is to post 1 content per day then it's going to be 365 posts in a year. Wow! That's a lot of effort. Some people do spamming and beg for follow and upvote. Like what I've mention on one of my posts it's not effective in the long run. Obviously, no matter how good your content is and no matter how long you write it, still it will not earn a lot of upvotes without the help of followers.
It's been 1 month and almost 3 weeks now since I posted my introduction post (but it shows posted 2 months ago even I just posted it 04/11/2018). Since then what I always do is read, read and read. I keep on reading others posts to learn how to success on this platform. One example is by posting good content and being consistent on it. Being consistent on writing was a bit hard to do since joining steemit was the first time I write about articles. I've been using facebook many years but posting articles is not what I do. I also learned from the good people that the key to success here is by means of followers, I mean a lot of followers. All of them says the key to gain followers is by producing good contents. Yes, I agree to that! Some says you need to interact to people. Yes, that's true. So what is the KEY to gain followers the fastest way?
When you posted a great content especially when the title is very eye catching, you will surely get some followers. But the thing is when you posted your blog it will just appear on the feeds just for few minutes or maybe a few seconds especially when you used tags that are very popular. So later your post will be at the bottom of the page where people will not gonna notice on what you've work hard for. So what you should do then? Let the people visit your feed. But how? Remember what other people says to gain followers? Yes, you're correct. You should interact with other people. How? Very simple, visit others blogs especially the one that you've interested in. Make a comment on their post or make any suggestions if you find something that could add up value to their posts. The possibility to that is they may also visit your blogs. So if you have good contents then getting them as your followers is more possible.
Base on my own observation the people who will follow you easily are the beginners on the platform. So if you commented to them and give some advice they will surely follow you. You should also have an open palm. I mean give them upvotes not just comments. Got that? My hands are tired and I feel sleepy now so let me finish this now (it's 4:30am when I started to write this and its now 6:00am). Here's the summary : GOOD CONTENT + INTERACTING TO PEOPLE + FOLLOWING AND GIVING THEM UPVOTES = A LOT OF FOLLOWERS = SUCCESS ON STEEMIT
If you find this useful don't forget to upvote and resteem! Thanks for reading! It's time to sleep now ☺️☺️
