These are 5 steps to help you make it on steemit. Personally, I have already paste these steps on the wall in my room so I wouldn't forget it without making something with it.
This post is an adaptation from a dtube video I saw on 
NB: this is only important to those who are in steemit for the long run otherwise you might just scroll through or help resteem to someone who might need it.
I. AN INVESTMENT IN STEEM, THE CRYPTOCURRENCY:
The best way to stay relevant on steemit is to invest in it cryptocurrency, STEEM. There are so many reason why should do this. In fact, it is the most relevant if you want to an impact on the steemit community. Steem is a cryptocurrency that is bound to increase in value in the long run due to the amount of users it able to attract every month by investing in "The value of your account jumps up as the value of steem jumps up".
For example, if you invested $100 into your steem account maybe 2/3 months ago when the value of steem was around $1.56 by now your account will be around $250 in worth, over 150% profit and that just for 100 bucks, imagine for a 1000 dollars.
Another advantage of investing in steem is, it gives you influence in the community. whales and newbies alike will fight for your upvote because it is now capable of putting dollars in their wallet, it also allow you create currency for yourself.
II. QUALITY CONTENT!!!
"Creating good content could take a lot of time and energy but it going to worth more than just putting junks out there just to post something" --
Sometimes it might be so so fucking discouraging the rewards you get for putting good content out but am encouraging you not to relent cause you actually don't know the post that going to make the big hits, yes you don't. this is certainly the reason why you should you put effort into make every post you make the best of the best. Imagine yourself coming across your blog as a stranger will you be interested in stopping on any of the post let alone give it your upvote, reason that way.
Good quality content don't only get you good followers in the long run they make your blog beautiful and attractive to members of the community. It will take time to get the right people on your post but don't give up, 'cause beauty cannot be hidden".
III. GETTING THE ATTENTION OF WHALES:
Some whales you would like to follow.
Having whales upvote your content really makes you a lot of money on that post cause some whales have over 2 million dollars in their account and 100% upvote might be as much as 100 dollars, just like that!. Having such whales upvoting you will mean a lot but it not easy to come by. If your post has good content and you can get the right people to resteem it, it might be capable of arresting the attention of the right people in community.

They are over 100 whales in the steem community all which have different interest and are dedicated to helping newbies in different ways e.g 
IV. BUILD YOUR FOLLOWING:
Building a good following, a profitable following is as essential as steeming itself. Building a following requires active interaction with the people you follow and the people who follow you. Follow the right people in community people by commenting and upvoting their post.
It an edged advantage if you follow members who every post always end up on the trending spot, it keeps aloop evey happenings as you able to view their post and comment on it which might probably get you some upvote when you are among the first to connect.
V. POSTING CONSISTENTLY:
One thing that certain to help you as a newbie is your #CONSISTENCY. It a bad habit to post at the beginning of the month and come with a return post at end of it, people are going to loose interest in you and your work. If your followers keep seeing your post popping up on their feed they might be tempted to check you out. It might not necessarily means posting every 24hours but be consistent. You will surely see good and profitable rewards by following these key steps to success on steemit.
