So how did I get a post a 30.00 upvote? How did networking help me get there? If you are a small user on steemit and find yourself struggling getting your posts noticed. I have had people ask me how one of my posts got to more than $30.00.Here is how I did it.
Stay Active on Discord
I stay active in my discord servers, where I try to help any newbies to steemit. Give them any advice I can, or even direct them to someone that can answer specific questions. For example, if someone is asking questions about certain upvote bots I direct them to someone in chat , that can answer them. Just enjoying making friends and connecting with the people on steemit community.
Attend Live Events/Radio Shows
So many discord channels will have a events or contests , intended for new steemians and people struggling on Steemit. These communities really try to help new people. I feel like steemit is paying me to find great friends. The rewards are just a nice bonus. Below I will explain how each discord server has benefited me.

PAL- http://bit.ly/discord-palnet
On the PAL server, 
Hive account@ma1neevent and @PoeticSnake have a show where their guests talk about what they post,and it's a good way to get your name out there. Also PAL has many other types of radio shows and they do a variety of topics. There are Heavy Metal shows, politics shows, and shows where you can listen to music and discuss it. A really great community there! Also, they are always there to help you if you have any questions. They have really helped me to become a better writer. Here is the last show that 
Hive account@mainevent did if you are curious how his show might work. https://steemit.com/msp-waves/@ma1neevent/ma1neevent-interviews-radio-show-recap-four-new-show-guests-brandyb-gomatthew-karinxxl-molovelly
Steemit Bloggers
This discord server is run by 
Hive account@jaynie and supported by 
Hive account@zord189 , 
Hive account@thekittygirl , 
Hive account@raymondspeaks, 
Hive account@amarbir, 
Hive account@chrismccron, 
Hive account@derekrichardson, and many others I wish I could remember. It is really cool, you are pretty much only required to vote 1 person a day in the different subject rooms. So everytime I post a post there I get at least 1 upvote, and I have made some great friends there. At this time you can only get in this group by invite, but if you get this invite you will not regret it. Here is the link better expalining what Steemit Bloggers is about. https://steemit.com/steemit/@jaynie/kiwtm-steemit-bloggers-invitation
So with all these discord servers I'm pretty sure you will find a community for you. Networking on discord is really what has helped me to make some money on my posts. Pretty much by just staying active in these servers, I feel I have made some really great friendships in each. Remember, don't spam these rooms just get to know people and in time, once you are having fun and making friends, the rewards become just a bonus. Before you know it, you will be having fun and making money at the same time. I hope this will help anyone struggling to make money on steemit!
