I'm creating a guide that would help all the newbies in steemit grow after they have exhausted the charity tag everyone welcomes them into the platfrom with. I will tell you it wasn't easy ending my first day with a reputation of 41. If i had come into the community with the full backing of whale, that would have being a different stories. As the whale would restreem my post so that his reputation would do the rest. I can tell you i work sweat (but no tears) to get to where i am. How did i do this? I will tell you.

And that comes handy in Steemit. Share link of your post everywhere you go, even when you comment. If your humor is good enough, whoever's post you interrupted would probably joke by at it. Like
