Thank you for this wonderful post and the many very useful tips!
The only thing I´m not so sure about is your recommendation to look for new users as followers. The thing with this obviously is, that their votes are worth nothing and we all know, that you won´t grow as a fish when you hang around even smaller fish ;)

Well, here's the thing, they grow. And as they grow, the can continue to follow and upvote. It's a numbers game, but in the end, one in five or ten will be a decent sized dolphin in a couple of months, I bet, with the way things are going here. I've been doing it for a year and a half and several people I helped when they first came in, come back and visit me a year later, with $5 upvote so, I know it works. It's a long game, but true sustainable success always is on some level, right?
I agree and I´m also seeing Steem as a long term investment - the only thing is, that this approach will really slow down your growth in a way. I mean, as it is a numbers game, it´s also about time and the time I spend with Plankton, I can´t spend with Dolphins. It would be otherwise, when I´d already be a dolphin myself, then I would spend more time supporting minnows to catch up. I guess it´s just a different strategical approach to the factor of time.
Votes, comments and resteems. Those are the ammunition you need to get attention. Yes, $$ in the rewards column are king,but if you get those things, your posts will spread. Take a look at my giveaway post and how many people are engaging there! Also, I'm about to add some co-authored posts with automatic revenue splits. There's a lot we can do, even with the little people, to spread the word. Every time someone adds "@markrmorrisjr" in a post or comment, my name gets spread. The whales will find you, if you're doing good work. The big projects will support you, if they see you're getting results. I ran a 6 figure social media marketing firm for three years. One big thing, when finding an audience, is discovering an area with a lot of people, and not that much competition. But, check in with me in a few weeks, and see where I'm at. @markrmorrisjr
Cool! I totally support you and don´t doubt your experience - I´m just unsure about the timing aspect. I will check in with you and your style in the following weeks for sure. Thanks for sharing your approach! :)
Hey, no pressure. This is anarchy, right? You do you and if you come across something that works, throw me a bone! LOL
