Excellent post. I joined Steemit back in August 2016, and figured out pretty quickly that making friends was key to getting upvotes. I spent a large chunk of time commenting on other people's posts and interacting in the chatroom, and most of my posts made decent money. I even paid a $300 vet bill just with money I earned on Steemit.
Then, I took a seven month break because all kinds of crazy things were going on (which I wrote about in my re-introduction post when I came back), and discovered that most of the people I used to always be able to count on for upvotes were not re-appearing (a few did, but not many).
So, I am re-building my following ALMOST from scratch. It's harder now that there are more people on Steemit. It's not as easy to get your posts noticed. But, I did it before, so I know I'll do it again. It just may take longer this time. :)
What you're saying makes sense. I find it takes a regular, persistent presence to make a difference. It is really about building a relationship with people and giving them value.
Thank you for sharing what you did. That means a lot. I look forward to staying in touch.

Thanks, @terrybrock. I'd like to stay in touch, too. Consider yourself followed. :)
Thanx!
yeah, consistency is really key as you mentioned here.....I forgot to emphasize that.
stellabelle, you rock! Thank you SO much for such great information you shared. You did a marvelous job with the interview.
I'd love to do more interviews with you in the future, if that would be alright with you. If you come up with some ideas perhaps we can kick it around the come up with something that you think would be very helpful to people. You and I share the attitude of being of service to others. Thanx for how you do that.
All the best!
wow thats great advice ,hoping to also reach where you are.
