If people can't see you, how can they upvote you?
When I started Steemit, I was looking for ways to get noticed really fast about the content I was posting... I quickly realized that most people tend to gravitate to content that makes the "Trending" or the "HOT" feed.
I thought to myself, how does one get on those feeds?Β
So let's start with the "HOT" Feed as the trending feed is almost impossible to get on unless you busted out an epic announcement or wrote an awesome article. π
So how does one get on the "HOT" π₯ feed of Steemit?
The "Hot" feed can make your post stand out from the rest for about 4-5 hours depending on the upvotes you get and how fast.
For Example, my post will probably generate anywhere from $20-$30 within in an hour, that will guarantee me to be in the top 40 or less of the hot feed depending if there were other newer posts that have more upvotes than me.Β
As time passes, new content is created so depending how they do per hour or how many more upvotes I get later on, my post will be trending higher or lower for up to 5 hours on the "HOT" feed.
More Eyeballs = More Followers = Better Relationships = More Votes! π
Here is some pics where the HOT Feed is located and what it looks like. I know, I know... you guys probably already seen it before lol
For beginners, this will be a hard task... if it was easy, everyone would be doing it π€£
The best way to get upvotes is writing great content, being very consistent, engage with the community every single day until you start building a loyal (doesn't have to be big) following.
There are also other ways to get quick upvotes, you can use services like @discordia, @booster, @randowhale, @minnowbooster, @bellyrub and many more within your first hour of your post, this will get you on the "Hot" feed for a few hours.Β
However... if you don't get tons of upvotes in the next 4-5 hours yourself from your content or following, it will be buried deep in the "Hot" feed... but at least you're on there!
By getting on the "Hot" Feed consistently everyday, you will get more followers, upvotes, and respect... then something magical happens... people will start seeing you as a "BOSS" on Steeemit π€£
I always like to see people "WIN" so hope this small tip helps everyone out π

It's cool to be "HOT", and you have "COOL" face today.. but i'm still waiting for "HAPPY" face as your promised. Have nice day @stackin thank you for hot strategies :)
That is my happy face lol
Yes it is quite essential to be on the hot posts so that you can receive more views and get more followers or upvotes. Most people look at hot posts rather the new ones. Great post once again @stackin
That so true, anytime I go on steemit... I first look at my blog then straight to the hot feed to check out some good posts :)
Thank you for tips ;) See you in hot section :P
You see me? Let me go check it out haha
Thanks for the info, I think I've been in the hot section a few times, but yea it's tough
It is but well worth it, the key is being on it every time you post but it will take some time.
Thanks for the comment @drewley!
Getting on Hot is a big game changer it seriously opens you up to more followers and more votes as a higher payout draws in more to try and get those curation rewards. Invest some money in whaleshare, beyond bit etc and it really adds up but will cost you money. But just like any business you need to invest in time and money to build your income.
Totally, being consistent on the feed brings lots of followers everyday :)
@Stackin stay on fire man! All ways leading by example, making it happen ππ₯
Appppresh @kenistyles! You are the man! :)
Thanks for compiling the info, there is also whale shares from @officialfuzzy
Thanks for that Quattrophoto! I forgot all about that, I have never used them yet but I've heard so much great things about them. I will be looking into it!
I used them twice so far, it's an automatic bot, you have to buy bitshares (you can use steem, btc anything really.) on Openledger then with the Bts, buy Whaleshares on the market, then follow the instructions here, http://whaleshares.net
its not 100% cost effective like @randowhale but I used it on a posts and got many more views therefore votes.
One of my posts made the 'hot' section yesterday. First time. Didn't happen today... But that was a blast and I look forward to repeating that stunt :D
One of these days, we will make it on the EPIC "TRENDING" FEED. I think I was on it for a few minutes with one of my Jeff Berwick pics lol
My posts always make it #1 on the trending shitpost section lol
That is so funny, let's get steemit to create one haha
Thank you for explaining this to us!
I left lots out but that's just the basics ππ
That's good enough to know what's up! Hope you had an awesome weekend!
Great advice as usual, homie. Followed you on ig too.
I've been slackin on my insta game because of steemit, I'll probably do a post about steemit to my 19,000+ Instagram followers soon πππΌ
Loving what you bring to this platform @stackin ! Always pushing Steemians to dig deep and do the best they can! You got the technique! π
Apppresh @bambam808! We all must rise together ππΌ
very helpful I take benefits from your posts, you share with us such a great advice really am proud of following you I think I found you in the right time .
may blessings shower upon you @stackin steeeeem on
Thanks boss!
Writing good content can be pretty hard.
Most of us have not been content creators since early ages and only now starting.
There is a learning curve and those who never stop improving their writing skills will eventually end up in the hot or trending one day.
The other problem is, like me, people are not full time on Steemit or blogging is not their main activity.
Sometimes we are not able to provide the right amount of time and dedication to a post writing and only after reading it 2 or 3 days later that we find so many things that we can add, improve or remove.
Keep steem'in hard and don't get discourage. Only through learning will we all succeed :)
Let go make it happen πππΌ
Have taken some steps to put me back in the right direction.
Will be writing a post on my progress in the near future.
Do check it out :)
Cheers!
That awesome to hear, looking forward to your future progress :)
Cheers man!!
Keep steem'in hard :)
thanks my dear you are a little star when it comes to helping people.
I bet you are a sweet one in RL.
& your posts are never boring, that helps a lot too!...Im about to hit mine with a boost up the behind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idk, many have met me in real life, they all call me nuts πππΌ
Thanks for the article... I made it a few times in the "Hot" and once in the "Trending" (in cn, haha)... but I know it's not that easy.
I try to post original and creative content, so... I hope it will pay back :-)
Have a great day!

Thanks! Means a lot! I'm trying to stay consistant with replying but I get to many π€£
My pleasure π it was a really great post.
Yes sometimes I understand it's hard to reply to everyone,takes time.. Lol
Have a great day.
Great pointers!
I've also found it easier to focus on getting into hot or trending per category.
Its a must every time :)
Yep :)
Good points as usual. Do we know if it is the amount of voted rewards, or the total number of votes that matters? If it is both, are they equally weighted? I haven't bee able to tell from casual glances at the Hot section, and I usually browse new instead. (ick)
Not based on total votes, one whale vote can put you to the top π¬
Thanks for the "hot" tips @stackin
No problem @edenmichelle :)
:) keep on with good articles
I've made it to the hot feed a couple of times but the tag 'philosophy' doesn't get much exposure so it doesn't help me much anyway haha.
I guess I may start trying to grow on some more mainstream tags. It will be a long time until I got into trending. (If that ever does happen)
Thanks for the guide to help us and other minnows get into hot @stackin
Yeah, one needs to get at least $20-$30 UPVOTED to show up for 4-5 hours but with consistent title can happen ππΌ
You the man @stackin!
Na, you the man @coolbowser :)
Wow..! Amazing post by a pro in Steemit. Very helpful post for to become a hot member..!! ;-) Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Thanks! That was very helpful. It does seem quite a struggle to get noticed at the beginning, but I figure that slow and steady wins the race, and eventually I will get there!
I had the same struggles when I first started Steemit 2 and half months ago... I focused on being consistent, I think i missed only one day of posting so far ad that was on the 4th of july :)
Yes, I think consistency will pay off in the end. I have not missed a day pf posting yet, but I'm going to Scotland spend a month with my family next week, so I'm not expecting to be posting daily.
There are some key elements that we can see in every Trending or even Hot post. If one figures out these points and follow them strictly, success could be relatively an easier task. My today's post is all about it. Thanks for the valuable post. Shared with others.
Totally makes sense... just reverse engineer things then find out how something works and then you can use it to gain some epic advantages :)
Can't agree more to that.
