💁 Mary Ellen Here! (kidding 😂) With a few tips for all the minnows out there, in the over 1 million strong Steemit Ocean, on what NOT To do on steemit if you want to stick around awhile without getting flagged to much and lowering your reputation but instead build up your reputation and gain more followers while your at it, which in turn will help that steem wallet grow!💲
💁 Who Is 
!? A Dolphin at one time! 🐬
💁 My Journey: I am certainly not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree LOL! but I have been on Steemit for 2 years now after being told about it by my two sons 
☑ TIP: Go to pixabay.com for tons of free to use images! Of course being original and creating your own is best!
💁In that time I made a lot of mistakes and actually lived through a couple of big flag wars a year ago, Wont be the first, Wont be the last, It's a Steemit thing!
But I lived and learned along the way, and will for sure keep learning every day. You need to be patient and persistent "Rome Was Not Built In A Day!" I started on Steemit in July of 2016 with O money O Followers and was new to the internet ( could never afford it or a computer back then), I only been to Facebook to talk with family back east but never liked it, and never go there anymore. I was never on any other social media sites and i'm still not except for Steemit!
I Created all my Bitmojis on bitmoji.com App
💁 So if I can do it starting out with absolute O So Can You! Never Give Up, although it may not look like it now with the falling crypto markets, the future is looking awesome for Steem and Steemit + The the soon to be released SMTs by

🚫 Tips On What NOT To Do On Steemit To Gain Upvotes + Followers!
🚫 (#1) Do NOT ask or Beg for Upvotes, Resteems or ask people to go to your blog and check out all your stuff and "Please upvote my stuff" OR "I upvoted you, please upvote me back!" OR "Follow for Follow / I followed you,follow me back!" Once you have been here for awhile you will see how annoying it is when it starts happening to you!
3 REASONS:
🔵(1) Its Spamming, which is very frowned upon here.
🔵(2) Upvotes for Upvotes are generally not equal. If my account is worth more then yours then so is my upvote, and with only 10, 100% upvotes per day I like to spread out my votes as fairly as possible without lowering my vote by to much so that its worth more for everyone. You may vote on a persons awesome story or post that truely deserves then expect them to upvote you back for a single picture with no story or a shit post, not equal or fair at all!
🔵(3) Same with follows and followers. You should be careful to follow and choose followers that are like minded and will support you for the long haul ( something I didn't do but learned later ) as you support each other and grow, so will your wallet, so try to choose some Big steemians along with others ( whales/Dolphins) that are like minded to follow and Upvote/Comment And get to know them, soon they might do the same back, just don't beg or ask them to!
☑ HINT: It's better to say something like this as an example :
🔵 I loved your Meme / Post etc, hahaha, so true! I totally agree and made a similar meme / post / story earlier. Thanks for sharing with us, I am following you now! ( only do this when you have a post thats related to the topic.)
"This way people are more likely to go to your blog and see your recent post / meme / story etc., as your not spamming or begging them to do it, and they will be more likely to upvote plus follow you, instead of flagging or blocking you! Good luck to you , this will definitely help you moving forward."
💁💲Once the price of steem starts going back up, more people will return/join. steemit, which will help you gain more awesome followers bringing more upvotes and steem into your wallet!💲💁
🚫 (#2) Do NOT Drop links in peoples comments.
REASON:
🔵 People don't like it! Its another form of spamming and if your doing it all the time its sure way to get no followers or upvotes. and possibly flagged/Blocked. Its different if you only do it very seldom and with someone you know really well, or if its totally related to what they posted about, and you know they would love to check it out or see it!
🚫(#3) Do NOT Whine, cry , complain or start revenge flagging.
🔵This is a sure fire way to get less followers, O Upvotes and more flags/blocks. Keeping an upbeat and positive attitude will surely attract the right types of Followers like (Dolphins/Whales etc)That have a lot of money invested in the platform doing well! and this is accomplished with a Positive attitude!
💁 If You Stay Positive, Patient and Persistent , Good Things Will Happen!👍
