Before asking other users to follow you, you should focus on creating interesting content!

Here we go again, the "Follow me, I'll follow you back" posts, many of us got used to on Tsu, have finally arrived on Steemit.

Let me say that you won't get nothing with this behavior! Many of us are here for the content, for original posts written by genuine users, not for some spammy posts from users posting pictures found on Google.

Do you really want to start using Steemit?

If so, write an introduction post about yourself and use the tag #introduceyourself, explain who you are and why are you here.
Then, start writing original posts, using pictures you actually own. Talk about you passions: do you love cryptocurrencies? Talk about them! Are you an artist, a writer, a photographer? Post here your works! Use Steemit as your main blogging platform, you won't regret it!
Don't forget to search for other users' posts, upvote them and reply with meaningful comments. Avoid things like "Nice post" or "I upvoted you, upvote me".

Of course, you can use pictures you found on internet, provided they are related to the topic of your post and you are not violating copyright laws. You can find free resources on sites like Pixabay.com

If you follow these simple rules, people will notice you and start following and upvoting you.
