You may have heard of the expression, "go knock on a few doors" if you want something accomplished.
But knocking the wrong way can get you clobbered
Just like everybody on Steemit, i started with Zero Followers, and then nobody knew who I was , but i knew that I had to make ground, if I was to break even
So i started following people who I liked their blog post topics and Started commenting and engaging with them
I took time to study the psychology of Steemit and found out that "Follow for Follow" would not be of any value to me because they were thousands of bloggers on Steemit then and there was no way i could like and understand what they were blogging about
I knew that i had to hustle.
Hustling is putting every minute and all your effort into achieving the goal at hand, there was so much hustle in my early Steemit days, that i did not have time to "hang out" with people around me
Most of you ask of ways to increase followers and engagement. Short answer: Hustle. Long answer: Make sure that you are putting out quality content and also put your efforts in blog development
You need to knock on the right doors in the right way and understand what your end goal is, which is gaining attention
The number one Word that can make your Steemit blog is Attention, all my efforts daily on this platform is geared towards grabbing attention of people on this platform
There have been a huge increase in the number of Follower beggers in the past few days and that is very sad
What shall it profit you to have 500 followers and only 20 actually cares what you are posting about, and at the same time your home feed is populated with post you don't really understand
I want you to go into this week knowing that it is not the quantity of your followers that matter, what matters is they understanding and liking what you blog about
