Levi Jeans, an old favorite of mine, the 501 has been achieved, thanks to all 501 Steemians who have followed me on my Steemit journey so far.
If you have not yet seen this great service that our team has released via 
Hive account@steemdunk then click on his link, a great an easy way to earn Steem through curation. This week I am already up 9.5 Steem and growing weekly, prior to using Steemdunk my curation rewards were less than 1 Steem a week. https://steemdunk.xyz/
I also recommend using the services of the following, which have helped me a lot:
Hive account@minnowbooster to purchase a delegation of Steempower, which will give you a good boost.
Hive account@booster to bid on a large vote boost for your posts.
Hive account@boomerang offers a similar service to booster, but more suited to lower bids.
Hive account@randowhale to get a whale upvote.
Hive account@steemdunk to earn an income through curation.
Using all these services will help you grow on Steemit, but of course, writing great content and interaction is the key.
