Followers are the Second Most Important Aspect of Social Media and Steemit is No Different.
Today I was having a talk with @AnaHilarski and @Sunscape about Steemit and the importance of having people follow you. Steemit is a social media platform built on the Steem blockchain but for some reason people are forgetting the "SOCIAL" in Social Media. I continue to see accounts that complain because they are not gaining traction on the platform.
Content is King on Steemit but followers are Queen!
Well, I think it is time to remind everyone that you need to follow others in order to gain the most benefit from Steemit. This includes engaging with comments on other peoples posts. If you just post good content you might earn but if you are not popular elsewhere on the internet you will be disappointed.
There are Multiple Ways to Build Followers on Social Media and Steemit.
- Be an Influencer online and your followers will find you on Steemit. @DollarVigilante is a good example.
- Build your followers by being a community organizer. @Papa-Pepper is a good example.
- Build by consistently posting and following others. This is my tactic since August 2016.
- Be a Hot Latina and post good content. @AnaHilarski is a good example. ; )

What Does This All Mean?
If you are not a celebrity or a hotty like my wife I suggest you get to work following and engaging with other users. @Papa-Pepper and I are perfect examples of people who are putting in the work to build a base on the platform. Steemit is not a get rick quick scheme. You must roll up your sleeves and grind it out. You get out of it what you put in it but the great thing is that the rewards for you should improve over time if you follow the rules of social media. If not you will end up being just another abandoned account.
