There has been many articles teaching how and what to do in order to grow on steemit. Many has been said but my primary focus today is to lay a foundation to the Ghanaian community and anyone concerned about growing on steem with the nitty gritty of growing up on steemit. Steemit is a new technology and the like is not seen anywhere around and as such most successes are experimentally based. Among all these experiments, there are core values that stay true to all these successes. I am not going to highlight all the values for one article is barely enough to fill the space.
Readers are great writers. For some time now, i realised the more i read, the easier writing comes to me.Readers are able to engage their audience and to build a connection. Steem is similar to Facebook and all other social media. Every user craves for attention and as such if you care solely about your work, no one will care about them for you. You will run solo no matter how good your writing is. As a newbie or growing author, the best place to get you noticed is thorugh communication through comments.
Use the discord channel to build your established relationship and be a team player. Most at times when you introduce someone to discord, he or she feels like, i am a writer not a chat buddy. They solemly contribute in the chatrooms. The truth behind communication in the chatroom is you stand to get noticed and build relationships with promising authors and already known ones. Steemit is many things and it will treat you exactly how you treat it. Engage it and you will be engaged. Below is a link to a tutorial written by @sykochica on how to get started on discord. Link
Use steemtools.com to make things easier for you. The blockchain has many tools and applications you will never noticed if not for this wonderful site that brings them all to one place and give a summary as to what each individual tool does. Remember;
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.
Bill Gates
So with the tools, if your method of operation isnt efficient, you will magnify your inefficiency. Use it to help make the work easier and interesting to you. Below is a simple introductory post about steemtool made by @roelandp
Consistency is the last advice i will be laying down for growth. A friend of mine ones told me, to be able to make a million dollars, you have to learn how to make a $5 note consistently. I didnt understand how a five dollar note could make me a millionaire till i heard the continuation; He said, consistently multiply your effort and keep saving and its actually true. I started with steemit making $0.01 per post and with consistency, and persistence, i multiplied my effort and i now earn something higher than that.

My closing words will be the fuel of growth is your mindset. Set it right else you wont have a mind at all. Have a blissful day.
