Hi Steemians, today I am going to share with you my top 5 tips for being a successful Steemer here on Steemit.com.
I think that there may be some people who will find those tips extremely useful but there are people who won't as well, because they haven't tried applying those tips.

So what are we waiting for? Here we go!
Tip #1: Never stop appreciating the followers you have

Many people whose blog isn't a "successful" one will stop appreciating the amount of followers they have. For example, if someone has 100-300 followers which is considered not a lot, then he/she may start thinking that their followers don't worth nothing. However, THIS IS FALSE because these followers chose to follow you and it means that they like the content you create on Steemit. You have to admire them and not to take them for granted.
Tip #2: Make more connections

Like in the real life, most people who are successful have many connections with many important people. Here on Steemit, this can be applied when you have followers who like your content and the way you write posts. The more connections you have basically means the more upvotes you receive for your posts. If you will have friends here on Steemit who are dolphins/whales, exactly guys like: 
The easiest way to communicate with other Steemers is by commenting on other posts. If you want to make new friends which will become your followers as well and read your content then you should start to communicate with others as soon as possible, AND COMMINCAUTE A LOT!
Tip #3: Write interesting content and DO NOT SPAM!

Just like in the social media, if people post un-interesting content then other people won't be interested in reading it. You have to remember that on Steemit, the payout you receive depends on the upvotes you receive. So your interest needs to be to post only interesting content which other people will find useful/worth reading.
In addition, do not post more than 3 posts a day (In my opinion). I think that it is too many posts for one day and if you upload to many posts people will stop being excited about reading your posts as your content becomes "less worthy" compared to users who upload about 1-2 posts a day or Steemers who don't post everyday.
Tip #4: Use bots to increase the "BOOM!" effect of your new posts

I strongly recommend to use upvoting bots just like: 
So why should you use these bots?
The answer is pretty simple: On Steemit, new posts which receive high post payouts fast, means that they are popular. Even if you are not a whale who is used to receive many upvotes in a short term, you can also make your post more noticeable to other Steemers. You will have to act fast after submitting a new post if you want to reach the "BOOM!" effect which makes other Steemers to be interested in reading your new post.
Tip #5: Gain a lot of SP (Steem Power)

If you really want to become a whale, then SP is the key. If you have more SP you will have way more influence and Steemers will start to notice this fact. Gaining a high amount of SP may be dangerous for people who are planning to withdraw their money in a short term as the value of Steem can go up/down, so your money is not guaranteed when it is in SP form.
CONCLUSION
It is really hard to be successful on Steemit. We have to remember that if it was easy to become successful here, then it wasn't worthy. The main key for being successful on Steemit and in life is to persist. Never give up on your targets and keep applying the tips I mentioned above. I am sure that your situation will become much better and your blog will become much more popular!
