I honestly do not know how I have reached this many followers. I have tried to be as active as possible and communicate with fellow steemians. I have been commenting and writing posts.
The best thing to do is NOT to expect to be the best steemian or be extremely rich in a short period of time on here. It may take a lot longer than you think. Do NOT expect all of your posts will receive upvotes or that people will like them! You need to keep engaging on here and build your account slowly.

That is my advise for now. Enjoy being on here successful people.
