My entry:
No one became a whale all of a sudden. It took them time, energy, creativity, consistency and determination. So my suggestion to minnows are:
Be consistent here on steemit . Even when you make a post and you end up getting 0.01; keep posting. Infact post more
Interact and make friends . How do you do that? Learn to comment on people's post; not comments like "nice post" and the likes. Good comments, contribute your own idea.
Be original and creative
post quality contents
