The key to success in steem, and to start making reeling in some big time steem power is building your followers. I am fairly new to steem but can attest to this due to the research I have done. Those with over 1,000 followers are the most successful.
Obviously make sure to always try to keep your post high quality and be courteous, the steem community is actually very very nice and helpful from what I have seen so far.
