Sadly, the fastest way(and maybe the only way?) to grow on steemit is using bot. Even if you write good articles, the chance to grow is slim. Most of the time u won't get any upvotes or comments even if your write good articles. Check post on trending and hot, most of the time they're using bot to upvote their post, that's why they can become success on steemit.
