I have been around for a while and am very knowledgeable in all things, so to be successful in Steemit and get rich quick you must read and follow 8 golden rules I present to you as following:
After you enjoy this post and make a comment how you liked it, DO NOT up-vote this post. That way I know that you are the cool kid, and will follow you, will up-vote all of your posts and become your loyal follower.
When you read somebody's blog post, don't read everything, just look at the title and pictures. After that leave a comment "I will follow you if you follow me". This works all the time. You get ton of followers quick. Especially whales and dolphins love this. They will follow you immediately and forever be grateful the got a chance to follow you.
This trick is powerful. If you master this, sky is the limit. Find some whale and/or dolphin posts, then leave a comment "upvote for upvote". OMG, you killed it right there. They will not only up-vote your comment, they will go and up-vote all of your posts and your future posts. Now all you have to do is count the cash.
Don't waste time researching before you post. You want to write your post as stuff is going through your mind, especially if it doesn't make any sense to yourself. That's how piece of art is created. At this point whales and dolphins will fall in love with your blog posts, up-votes will pour in, and they will do so at 100% vote power.
Never ever try to make friends. Do not go to steemit.chat or discord channels to get to know other steemians. If you do that you get too attached to them, and they will brainwash you with ideas like cooperation and collaboration. Worst of all they will start sharing their experiences. You don't need that.
Never have a plan. If you start having plans then your post start getting organized. That is not how art is created, remember? Always be unprepared and write random garbage.
Do not bother yourself reading other people's blog posts. They have nothing to offer to you. Remember you know everything already. There is nothing new to learn. If don't believe that, just act like that. Over the time you will start believing it.
Do not take advice from anybody, do not listen to anybody. As a matter of fact, disregard all these advice I gave you in this post. You already knew it all. You suppose to be teaching me.
If you haven't already noticed yet, this post was meant to be a satire and not to be taken seriously :)
