There is a bot that will comment and give you an award for something you do on steemit, so if you post 4 or more times it says you have posted 4 time today come and see your reward.
You can invest in up-vote bots, these cost a little money from you sbd, and I don't use them. I spend a lot of time on steemit and for the sake of 10 to 50cents its not worth it to me.
One thing I do like to do is follow the big guys. not because I'm in the search for their up-votes but mainly to see how they have done things on steemit and why they get so many up-votes.
I normally choose a topic then trending and see who is in the top 10 posts of that week. I follow them as I know that if they are getting the up-votes then they are doing something right.
My biggest thing I did to start getting traction was go on a promo day with promo-uk, this guy @starkerz went around universities and talked to students who were interested in joining steemit. It was a great day out.
I met a chinese guy called @tumutanzi and he said because he knew I was a real person and he liked my work he would upvote my posts. overnight I was making $5 + dollars a post. I kept talking to people who would reply to me and my rep score went up.
I made a massive mistake though. in November I saw steem price drop. my account with 400 steem was at $350 dollars and I throw in the towel.
I cam back on after x-mas and saw that my account was then worth $3000. so i had to start my journey again, so I am rebuilding relationships that I had before x-mas.
I have made on comments sometimes $10 a comment. they are normally about 0.06c but every c counts in this game if your here for the money.
I'm here as a hobby as I am not allowed to work as I have been sick for years, but every now and again I take a little bit out and think wow I really worked for that and it was worth every penny.
FYI - don't up-vote every comment as this destroys your up-voting %
Just up-vote content you think needs up-voting.
If you have 500 steem dollars in your account you get a sliding bar this can give a % on a vote so you don't use your power up.
right now as your account is little in value every time you upvote it gives 100% and you only get 5 votes at that until it comes down to 75% then to 50%
and it takes days to build back.
I try and save the % by just up-voting certain things as my account would be worthless.

Oh my days loads to take in.I just come on here to keep my brain active since quitting work.Hubby told me about steemit said it would be good way to learn about crypto and post about things i enjoy.I can talk for England me, so for me bloggings fantastic and being able to earn is a brucie bonus.I write rather then nag the other half now.Im actually silent for a change.That link is fantastic.Really good dashboard telling you everything.I need to have a greater look into that to get familiar with it.Oh I dont do bots.Just feel like there fake votes.I want individuals to read my content and enjoy what i am writing just defeats the whole quality content objective.I am learning more bit by bit.I never let my voting power go below 80 i read that on steemit forums.So will defo take your advice.As i have my bambinos find it difficult to go to networking events.But will defo check the trending and high power ones.Thank you Drew for all the advice.Really do appreciate.ππΌππΌππΌππΌ
