Thank you for all who have been following me to read my simple post for growth in Steemit.
It is really great growth for a new 28-day member who does not have high steem power to have 339 followers.
I gained 39 followers within a day from yesterday.
I decided to share one of the many reasons that I felt had given me a big stepping stone in steemit today. I was reluntant to share as everyone can do it easily as it is simple method yet not shared widely.
I hope you are ready for a new practical way that I used when I first joined steemit in my first week. There is a chance for great growth for your account after reading this and you try this but I will not guarantee the result as you should do your own research after reading.
When I started steemit, I was searching for ways to grow. I found the website https://steemwhales.com/.
This site provides information about who are the whales by ranking and giving all sorts of information.
How is this useful to us?
Do you believe in the bible verse 'As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another'.
I followed many whales that are still active in steemit where my feed will have their posts if you do post any articles.
Do I spam these whales with my comments?
I will never. I make comments when I think I can be constructive and useful but not for every post. I don't beg and I dont bug the whales for anything. I am almost invisible but yet appear to make comments that does ocassionally get some attention.
Please never ever send $0.001 SBD to a whale and ask or beg for help with any post. This is bad image for a newbie. You may end up being avoided. Have dignity and write extremely good articles that many readers like to read.
Even if you do not get upvotes, you can see your followers are increasing. I don't always get many upvotes but my followers increase greatly within a short span of 28 days. Some members who were here for many months but they have yet to see such result.
I am definitely not trying to boost but I am trying to get all newbies or authors who went unnoticed to see a point. I don't go around begging people to read my post. I post to attract readers and they followed me naturally. I post everyday and more than one post daily. I make many comments in many posts and I don't just give passing remarks but quality and direct to the post. Make sure you really read before making a comment.
By following whales but not disturbing them, I am able to see what the whales are posting. You can learn from them since they are whales so they will sure have things that made them successful. Be thankful when you receive an upvote and identify good witnesses as recognition for some of the whales who contribute greatly to the platform.
Even though we can vote up to 30 witness, I am being selective and only voted for those that I feel had contributed so I have only voted for 7 witness so far. They are 
Even though I have voted for these 7 witnesses but I have never disturbed them unnecessary. I can say I am almost an invisible supporter for them.
Can you become invisible and yet many people start to notice you?
Let others notice you rather than you trying to promote yourself. It really looked terrible on you when you are begging or self-promoting but yet not a single good posts for anyone to notice.
Stop begging or anything that is belittling you! Get noticed by writing great posts today as well as making good comments when you have good points to add. Don't just make comments because you want to get noticed as well. Lousy comments are as good as a gun to your brain and reputation.
I have made many direct and yet important points in this post. I have repeated certain points to highlight how important these principles are to me. If you have suddenly see a light of what mistakes that you have been making repeatedly, I believe great growth could be on your way.
Proverbs 12:11 from bible: He who works his land will have abundant food (in our case could be upvotes), but he who chases fantasies lacks judgement.
Don't dream of sudden upvote from a whale when you are not working hard to learn to post good articles. Repeatedly post the similar writing styles over and over again. Gain knowledge and keep working and trying for improvement.
I hope this post has helped you!
