Woah! That was one long list. I am still working my way around here and this is one of the first articles I read. I have to admit, while you have done everyone a favour by compiling these tips on a single page, I am slightly overwhelmed and intimidated. I am still trying to wrap my head around voting bots and wary of joining communities that will give me free upvotes. I may be totally off the grid here, but it feels like cheating? I am very new to this entire Steem scene so my doubt may come across as silly or may raise eyebrows, but I was of the belief that only good content and genuine audience would be enough to break through all the white noise. Some of the tips you mentioned here look not only like a lot of work but also sound unethical. I'm sure you aren't doing anything worth frowning upon but at a first glance some of these tips (automatic upvotes or exchanging upvotes) are making me skeptical of this whole thing.
But all the other tips about being original and not spamming are something that I second wholeheartedly. I am also eager to check out the other links that you have shared to help me increase my reach.
In general, thank you very much for being so meticulous in your tips and in particular, if you could answer my doubts, that would be great!
