Minnows, new steemit starters, can survive if they know the several methods of increasing their steem power to the extent that it will earn them more than their salary at work.
Let me start by saying, the MOST IMPORTANT THING on steemit is steem power...without it, life on steemit can be more than frustrating.
So the question is...how can we increase our steem power.
Many steemians will tell you to write good post. Good!!! But, writing good post alone will get you more frustrated. You need steemians with high steem power, i mean those who will upvote your post with a good vote weight that will increase your steem power.
To have the chance of seeing people like this...go to www.steemfollowers.com
Join with your steemit account...write good post, upvote 10 good post per day...and you will receive upvotes from different steemians, who wont mind to give you 100% of their voteweight, with nice steem power.
Secondly, dont post everyday, wait for your post to grow day by day till the 5th day before you post again. Mind you if you dont see good SBD on the 3rd day, write another post.
VERY IMPORTANT...comment everyday on new post up to about 100 post...and you will make good SBD per day. Most of us minnow steemians earn more money commenting than posting.
Finally, dont power up all the SBD you make when you post...always keep at least 5 SBD in your steemit account. Then, visit the marketplace of steemfollower. Join the marketplace...buy 100,000 author point at 2.9 SBD, split the 100,000 to 10...the owner will charge 10%, so you will have 9 splits - equals 90,000...sell 10,000 in 9 places for 0.36 each.
After selling the 9 within days, you will make about 0.198 SBD after selling fee has been taken.
Rinse and repeat this process, to keep getting SBD and steem power till you will have enough steem power that when you upvote in steemfollower, it will give you millions of authorpoints for you to sell.
Before you realize what you are doing...YOU ARE ALREADY A WHALE.
Well iam agree with your thinking about having more Steempower is important because this is the main fuel behind this platform and if you have enough of this then you don't need more people to support you, but iam not very much agree with your other thinking about post in 5 days and that SBD earning strategy,
Because when you are new you have to be consistent and active to build relationships and getting audience and if you cannot do this then you are going to face very slow growth in your Steemit Account, and iam not sure by buying aome author point we can become a whale because i believe in reality,but best of luck for all your strategies.😇
