Steem is still young. This is a great time to build your following on the network. Here are some ideas for how to do this:
Post quality, well-conceptualized, substantial multimedia blog posts with well-crafted titles and copy on a regular basis, maybe even at the same time every day.
Comment on other people’s blog posts. Make sure your comments are not just a fluffy “Great job!” but instead add value, ask a question or say something original.
Join a Steemit group on Facebook or another legacy social media network and promote your posts there.
Join Steemit.chat, join the rooms that interest you and contribute regularly. Don’t just drop new posts in there though. Have conversations. Help others.
Start a project to improve Steem and involve other Steemians in it.
Figure out how to solve problems that fellow Steemians are reporting.
Develop software, tools or some other valuable resource for the Steem community.
Get creative. Look at what top creators have done on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, YouTube and other legacy social media networks. Adapt and experiment. Learn and share your results in a blog post for extra rewards.
