Dear Steemit Friends,
I started Steemit on August 2017. It's been 1 year and 2 months since I have been on Steemit. I try to keep writing these milestones to thank all my Steemit followers for your support and at the same time, to help new Steemians how to continue your Steemit journey effectively. Everyone succeeds in different ways. I can only share with you what works for me so that we can all move forward together.
In August, 2017, I started off with 25 Reputation.
Today October, 2017, I am at 69.76 Reputation.
I aim to get to 70 Reputation by November.
One Advice: Keep Steeming on by Blogging!
There are many things that work on Steemit. For ordinary people like you and I, keep blogging will help you succeed and bring your reputation to 70 in a bit more than a year's time. I have remained at 69 for about 3 months already. It takes more energy and time to go from 69 - 70. I hope to get there next month.
If your reputation is remaining below 50, it is because you have stopped blogging. It took me less than 3 months to get to 50. To move on to higher levels of reputation, I started joining different communities on Steemit to make that happen. Don't just blog about yourself, blog about the kind of communities you joined to make Steemit grow.
Steemit is a platform about blogging.
You joined because you want to earn some money by blogging.
In this article, I will list out the things that I blogged about and the order of the communities I joined to help me grow on Steemit.
1. Blogging About My Travels
I first came onto the Steemit platform with the intention of blogging about my travels, thus I chose the username 
Traveling turns me to a story teller. I want to share with the world the many places I visited, the diverse culture that I experienced, and most important of all, the many interesting people who became good friends because of our unexpected encounter in my visit.
For the last few months, I had not been able to write so much because of other commitment I had made in the Steemit communities. I am a bit stuck on the hot air balloon ride at Cappadocia. If you go to Cappadocia in your next visit, be sure to go up on the hot air balloon ride. It is an amazing experience that everyone should have once in his life time.
2. Esteem
I started using the eSteem mobile app very early on when I came on Steemit. I saw it in the Google play store and downloaded it without too much knowledge of it. Then when I saw the esteem website, I met 
3. Utopian-io
@Utopian-io is my favorite platform where I had been spending most of my time on Steemit. I have promoted Utopian many times in many of my Steemit posts. I have made so many friends and colleagues on this platform. I am very much thankful to 
When I joined the @Utopoian-io community in October 2017, I tried to contribute with whatever professional skills that I had to make the Utopian platform grow. For any new community to grow in its early stage, loyal steadfast users are needed. It was a lot of fun for me to watch the vision of Open Source Economy turning into a reality with all our contributions. By November 2017, I became a moderator and concentrated my work on translation. Came April, 2018, I moved on to contribute to the video category which is something I am skilful at as I have been a Udemy and Skillshare instructor since 2011. When June, 2018 came, I concentrated on my role as a Community Manager for the Translation Category in the Utopian-Davinci collaboration for FOSS projects.
If you have skills in development, coding, tutorial, blogs, visibilitly, graphics, copywriting, analysis, translation, bugs hunting, documentation, suggestions, etc, Utopian empowers all professionals to bring value to the Open Source movement in your contribution. In the end, you also earn rewards by contributing to your favorite Open Source projects which is exactly what I have done in the past year.

4. Smartsteem
Smartsteem is an excellent platform to learn about voting bot that focuses on content quality. I am one of the Smartsteem reviewer and came to know many new Steemians in the process. Steemians get whitelisted with Smart scores to enable them to use the platform for promotion. While you go on holidays and do not have time to curate posts, register with them to do the daily upvoting job for you. You can also join their referral program with my referal link here to get rewards. They have helped many communities to grow on Steemit and you will love their service.
Come and visit Smartsteem 2.0. Lots of new changes took place on the website and the dashboard is so easy to use now. 
5. Steemhunt
Steemhunt is a service built on Steemit where you can get rewarded by posting new and cool products on their platform on a daily basis. Many new Steemians have said to me that they do not have too many ideas of what to post each day. Join Steemhunt and you will have things to post and can get rewarded for your effort. The key is to participate and be active on their platform. 100 hunts get upvoted each day, and each hunters can get 3 comments upvoted by their team.
I joined Steemhunt for the fun of it in the beginning to support 
Right now , Steemhunt is air-dropping LOTTERY HUNT COINS for all users. Make sure you go into your profile and click on the tab beside "Today", you will be able to get lots of hunt coins up to 100. One time, I was lucky and got a lottery of 1000 Hunt coins.
6. DaVinci
Since June, 2018 I have been working most of my time in helping the @Utopian-DaVinci collaboration to build up the Translation teams for the @Davinci.witness platform. As one of their Community Language Managers, we have worked tirelessly for 4 months already. Our number of translators have grown to 91 people. It's incredible. Amazing. You can read about our growth in this most recent post.
These are exciting times for us to watch the growth in the DaVinci Platform. Are you a professional translator? We are calling out for more translators to join us to get more FOSS Projects in Crowdin to go international. Join us to work on Open Source translation via the Utopian-DaVinci collaboration.
7. Actifit
Actifit is headed by 
Download the Actifit app in Google Playstore and Apple Store..
I am one of the Actifit Ambassador and have written a short tutorial here to get you started.
Since the launching of Actifit, I had delegated 95% of my SP to help this platform grow. If you have SP and do not know who to delegate it to, contact Actifit. They are trustworthy and helping many people to keep fit.
Conclusion
