➡ TIPS + INFORMATION !!⬅
🔵 (1) BEGGING/ SPAMMING !
And I can not emphasize this enough !! Do not Beg , Drop Links etc on peoples comments section of their posts , OR in their Wallet , OR In Steemit Chat ! Especially when you leave links without even a comment to the persons actual post and your link has nothing even to do with their post ! Asking Upvotes for Upvotes OR Follow For Follow or saying "Im new to Steemit come see my post!" Is A Sure Fire Way to have the opposite effect , and get you FLAGGED By most people here on steemit !! Nobody likes Spammers ! So please respect your fellow steemians and stay on their good side , they will be more likely to Follow and Upvote you plus Resteem your posts once they get to know you !
