Steemians today I'm going to give the minnows of steem a little advice while at the same time telling you all some places that are ideal for minnows looking to build themselves up both with active followers and their wallets.
Websites for Steemians
The website above is Steem Follower and its one of my very first recommendations, one of the great things about it is that no matter what you are whether your a minnow, dolphin, whale the service assist all of us. I've placed a referral link to steem follower
https://steemfollower.com/?r=7566
I'd also like to note that the steemit witness 
Hive account@mahdiyari created this steem follower his profile can be found here https://steemit.com/@mahdiyari
Before moving on to the next website, I just wanted to say that the websites I'm listing here are all based off of my experiences and the results could be better or worse for you as an individual so please make sure you understand the website and the service it offers and always be cautious of any website if something doesn't look right or seem right I'd stay away from it.
Now its a bit ironic that I'm doing this but even though we offer up-voting services here at 
Hive account@echowhale we also like to keep in mind that before being a service we are steemians just like all of you so with that said I am recommending some other up vote services for minnows to use. Some of these upvote services in my opinion are a bit better than Hive account@echowhale now I'm not doing this to scare anyone away I'm doing this because Hive account@echowhale is a newer upvote bot and it is the services and bots like 
Hive account@buildawhale 
Hive account@randowhale and 
Hive account@smartsteem that inspired 
Hive account@journeyoflife and myself to even begin trying to offer an up voting service.
Up vote bots and services
Smart steem is a website that allows steemians to pay for up-votes, sell your upvote, and use the bid bot they have. The following url is where you can find smart steem and their services
https://smartsteem.com
Side note I just wanted to mention 
Hive account@therealwolf is another steem witness feel free to check out his profile at https://steemit.com/@therealwolf
Additionally I'd like to recommend Hive account@buildawhale Hive account@buildawhale is one of the absolute best up-vote bots here on steem the creator and owner of Hive account@buildawhale is 
Hive account@themarkymark he to is a steemit witness and one of the most honest bot owners on steem. I mention this because one time a user I am not specifying the name but this user made a mistake like we all do and sent him 700 steem now typically you wou;ldn't expect that much steem to be given back if a user makes a mistake that expensive truthfully a lot of people would have kept it, not Hive account@themarkymark he sent it back with out hestiation and that right there in itself goes to show the kind of character this man has, that is rare for someone to be so honest and to carry that type of integrity not only does he have Hive account@echowhale and team's witness votes but I do try to model Hive account@echowhale off of Hive account@buildawhale so again minnows if your looking for a good up vote service other than Hive account@echowhale I recommend Hive account@buildawhale and Hive account@smartsteem
Suggestions
Steemians the only suggestions I can give you are those that I know and that is as followed
Be honest when you are creating your post, don't copy others and other websites material and then post it on steem and if you are using something from some where at least have the courtesy to refer to the source so that way people can go back and look over the original content if they'd like to.
Learn from your mistakes meaning if you mess up learn from it don't make the same mistake again, because there is a good chance you will get the same results. There is a saying live by well kind of a question/statement Why do we fall down? So we can get back up these are words to live by and no matter how hard something is if you live by that phrase you'll never go wrong. (Keep in mind steemians I am part bot part human so yes I do have sayings and quotes to live by.
Integrity as I mentioned earlier Hive account@buildawhale received 700 steem by mistake and he sent it back, thats a form of integrity that will always bring value to anything your involved in. The guy is a witness and if hes looking for votes and you the steemians want someone whose going to do right by you who else other than someone who could have just taken 700 steem because of a user error would you pick? a person with integrity is a person you can trust. (Again this is strictly my opinion)
this will be the last suggestion for this post
4.Feed back helps and encourages people this statement is true when I first posted on steem I had gotten no feed back, however I came back a few months later and after my 2nd post I had gotten tons of feed back thats what kept me coming back to steemit and after I started getting followers and regular comments from people I then started making a few steem friends and before you know it I was an active member. Your feed back matters more than you think.
Quick note to all of you who have reviewed this post. Hive account@echowhale is a team of primarily 5 we have a sub that comes in and helps with up-votes, but Hive account@journeyoflife is the manager of Hive account@echowhale I mention this because a lot of people aren't aware of just how much she cares about the steemit community. She got involved with this project and not once has she ever regretted it, 24/7 Hive account@journeyoflife is constantly looking for ways to help both the steemit community as well as the users in the communjity I've never saw someone care so much about something the way she does and with that said I'd like to ask you all to take a minute and check out her profile she has some amazing content, and shes an amazing author. Thank you for taking time to review this post and I give full credit to the creators of steemfollower, smartsteem, buildawhale and randowhale.
