yeah i had the same thought too when i just started out, just need to keep putting out useful content and ppl will find it organically like google/youtube
For steemit, there are ppl who have great content and got spotted by the whale and steemit sub platform account. And alot of other's content just get buried in the deep sea.
As for which bot to use, what's your estimate budget ?
I have absolutely no clue :-)
As i said i know nothing about bots and how to use them effectively. I just know they exist.. Let's say for example that i will spend the $100 you recommended.
I agree with the point about the useful content etc, but it will probably take months to get even 100-200 followers...
When i joined twitter and started tweeting my analysis, i reached 500 followers within a few days as my content was useful...
I don't want to post here just for the money, but it's frustrating to post daily and see the stats saying the post was read just by 5-10 people :-)
for tat amt you can try postpromoter bid bot.
Yeah on steemit the discovery curve it's so much longer !
well at least you still got a good amount of exposure on twitter =)
