SteemFollower - A New Dimension to Your Steemit Journey
I run a show on the Whaleshares server on Discord called the Promote Your Post show. It is a live event where I invite people to come along and show off one of their posts, so they can grab some extra upvotes and resteems. It was in one of my shows that @reko brought with him a post about the SteemFollower service, which he promoted.
It seemed like an interesting concept but I never found the time to do a follow up, and so left it behind without really looking into it. I was speaking with @reko recently and he happened to mention SteemFollower to me again and how it had really helped his Steemit journey. This time I checked it out and registered. And I am pleased that I did.
The great thing about Steemit, in addition to all of the amazing content and people you can find, is that there are also other add-ons, scripts and services that Steemians create, often in a third party capacity, to give Steemit new dimensions. SteemFollower is a great service I would recommend without hesitation. It can be used to compliment your Steemit experience.
How Does SteemFollower Work?
The way it works is that on registering, which is a very simple process, you join a community of people already on the Steemit platform. SteemFollower uses Steemconnect as the interface, which is a very trusted and secure site. Here you can browse posts from new, old or very established Steemians. Then if you find a post you like you place your vote on it. SteemFollower will then connect to the Steem blockchain and cast your vote on the post. The great thing about SteemFollower is that you will not only earn curation rewards for voting on posts but SteemFollower also gives you points for each vote you give. You are only allowed a certain amount of votes in any 24 hour period, depending on your Steem Power.
These points will either be used by people in the SteemFollower community voting on your posts, so it's like a form of advertising. SteemFollower will display your latest post. The post that will receive the vote will be your last edited post. Or you can use SteemFollower's internal market and sell your points for SBD.
Putting SteemFollower In Context
It is important to note that the SteemFollower service is not an upvote bot or booster bot. It is an entirely separate interface that connects to the Steem blockchain and offers a service all of its own, where you collect points in addition to curation rewards.
SteemFollower should not be used as the only place for sharing your votes. Obviously there are only a limited amount of people using the SteemFollower service compared with members in the Steemit community, although SteemFollower is constantly expanding its reach with 14,585 registered users now.
However, there is no reason why the service can not be used in conjunction with the Steemit platform. That is what I do. SteemFollower has in effect created a parallel system of vote giving. In fact the service has helped me use my vote power much more than I would have done without it. SteemFollower has made me realise how much I never used my vote power and what a waste that was.
The service was conceived by @mahdiyari. He has also set up the Steemians network on Discord where you can approach moderators or other SteemFollower users for help and assistance. You can also directly speak to @mahdiyari if you need further assistance. A link to the Steemian chat server is here https://discord.gg/h6DKj6c.
