Interesting question as the answer really becomes a blueprint for how to grow my account the quickest. Gave it some thought today and these seem to be the key things that would allow for the most impact short and long term.
Meaningful comments on current followers posts while automating some upvotes for them to make sure you are there early enough to gain curation rewards.
Write 5-7 quality posts per week is realistic for myself.
Use a service like Steemfollower to upvote quality posts and get votes in return.
Search out a couple members with accounts which are more powerful then my own and start trying to build a relationship with those people for long term mutually beneficial relationships.
To gain short term gains I would also look for paid bids and bid in front of larger upvotes. Would only do so on posts I felt were quality and have very low previous votes to maximize the return from the curation rewards.
Also leave quality comments on those posts that were upvoted. Goal to gain some rewards on comments also.
*Daily conversion of SBD gained during the month into SP as per rules unless paid promotion is allowed and then would look for profitable or even break even bidding opportunities. Added vote increases exposure for the posts and hopefully gaining more votes and followers.
thank you for your entry
