RE: Being Successful On Steemit Is Like Losing 40 Pounds

in #steemit7 years ago

It is frustrating. One thing that helped me when I first got here is I spent my first two weeks reading and replying to people rated over 50. Now I put a lot more work into the newer people to help them out, but at first I only read the content of the successful people on here. Just by engaging with them every day for two weeks got me noticed by a lot of bigger voters. I didn't ask for anything. I never once asked them to check out my post. I simply found about 20 people that I really liked their content and that were ranked 50+ and I replied to their daily posts each day. Even now I go and post and reply. I don't ask for anything, that is important. I just engaged and they took notice and most of them have returned the favor one way or another. Some are very loyal supporters of mine and I try to return the favors. I hope that helps. Be strategic. Read posts to learn things and read posts to get noticed in a way. I hope that helps. Keep pushing and you'll get there. I'll go check out a blog of yours to return the favor. Thanks for the support.

to people rated over 50.

That is very strategic and i love it! How do I find out if there are top 50? I appreciate you taking the time to look at my posting. Don't feel like you have to. I will earn my way and if you truly like it then even better!

I have been following you for a little while, but I don't think i have engaged as much with you, either way this post really catch my eye!

One of the things I love in this life is meeting people and learning about new things and how other people perceive the world. I also like helping people. It is strategic and finding pathways to success often are. Look beside each name and there is a number in a circle. You are 43. I just went to the Trending page and the hot pages and found people over 50 that were publishing content that interested me. I never faked, it which is important. I am genuinely interested. Hope that helps.

I have noticed your votes for sure. Another thing that I do is take the top couple of people that vote on my content that don't respond, and go to their blog and read and reply. I then thank them for recently upvoting and I wanted to come and return the favor. I have found that also brings people back. It takes time and work, but it pays off.

Thanks for noticing, I was beginning to worry :)You are just filled with great advise tonight

How have I not thought of this before??! On a random note, I can't believe I am 43 already, thats pretty good isn't it? No idea what it means, but why did you choose people over 50, what dose that mean?

Your rating is based on value and participation basically. The more successful you are the higher your rank. 43 is awesome for just starting. It really is, just keep doing what you are doing. Once you start getting to 48 and 49 it starts really slowing down how fast you move up. Then it just takes time and value. I am so glad that I can help. hit me up anytime. Advice is what I do. Ideas is what I sell IRL. lol
