There are many ways to get noticed here on Steemit and one thing some people tend to forget is that this is an attention economy.

Grabbing the attention of those that read your posts and even the ones that don't and just use auto-upvote bots is part of what will help find some success on Steemit. There are so many factors that can go into getting other's attention.

Sure we see those post that some of us consider "shit posts" that doesn't seem to show much time and effort was put into the post and gets a large reward or even those that only upvote their own posts and comments. We can complain about all of this but at the end of the day it comes down to "1 stake, 1vote". Meaning a person has the right to use their stake and their vote how they please.

The thing with this is that long-term, people that lack the effort in their content creation or self-votes is hurting themselves and preventing to reach their full potential on this platform. Usually, those that do these types of strategies don't last long. Either they don't get enough support from others or rewards become too small for them for the amount of work they do and they end up leaving or changing their ways. In many ways, a Steem user is building a "brand" and if that's what someone becomes known for, the support will eventually go to those that create quality content and bring value to the platform.

Here are some suggestions that could help grab the attention of readers.

Invest in STEEM

When you power up, you have more influence on the platform and have more say on where the rewards get distributed.

The thing about Steem is that you are able to see how much an account has invested and users tend to support those that have larger amounts invested because it shows support for the platform. Also, others will want support from those accounts with large stake because they will earn more rewards by getting upvotes from them. So you will see users upvote a post from an account with a large stake in hopes of getting a upvote on their post in return.

Engagement

When it comes to engaging others, it's more than just saying hi and sharing your link. You actually want to build a relationship with others on the platform and have conversations. Let other's know what you're about and what kind of person you are.

Be active in communities and projects to help you get noticed more on the platform while at the same time, you will be helping communities and projects grow.

Creative Original Content

I have said that many times but there are always new users that aren't aware. Creating original content tends to get rewarded more. Having something creative and original has a better chance of grabbing the attention of readers.

Content that helps onboard new users and brings some sort of value to the overall growth of the platform is of course in everyone's best interest to support.

Helping Others

It pays to help others on this platform. Helping other's find success can lead to them supporting others and earning or investing and having a larger stake. Eventually, it will come back to you in some form or another through upvotes or a project that could help you and your followers.
