I first stumbled across steemit 11 months ago after watching Hive account@jeffberwick on his youtube channel, The Dollar Vigilante. At the time I was heavily into anarchy and Bitcion but I was not a big fan of social media. If anyone else had told me that I could earn a crypto called STEEM on a social media site called steemit I wouldn't have given them the time of day, but this was Jeff Berwick, and when Jeff says "invest in BTC and join steemit" then you just do it, without thinking to much about how and why.

My Tips On How To Gain More Followers?

I'm not claiming to have the magic recipe, and I am definitely not a professional blogger, but I must be doing something right to have gained 3000 followers in under a year without using any cheats, tricks or bots.

This has all happened organically which in my eye's, is the only way to succeed on steemit. Keeping it real, is a big deal.

Along with keeping it real and original, You also need to be very active in the comment section. Next to my followers it says that I have done 3208 posts, which are mostly comments. Interacting with your audience is a big part of steemit and is one of the only ways to build up a genuine following of people who keep coming back. This gets harder with the more followers you have but I still try to reply to as many as possible. One thing that gets easier with time is being able to spot the fake automated comments, I would hate to think how many hours I wasted in the beginning replying to robots, so watch out for those.

How To Get Noticed By The Big Players!

To get BIG on steemit, you need to make some noise and stand out from the crowd. There are many ways to achieve this and if you are good at building ground breaking apps or can come up with ideas such as Dtube or utopian.io then it wont take long before you hit the big time.

But just because the rest of us were not born with Einstein abilities, doesn't mean we can't make it big on steemit. Take me for example, I was no good at blogging, crap at spelling and grammar and terrible with computers. This just meant I had to be extra inventive to be able to make a splash in these whale infested waters.

I knew that Hive account@jeffberwick did me a huge favour in convincing me to join steemit and by then I was also sure that steemit could change the world, so I decided to hit the streets in an attempt to help steemit and Hive account@markwhittam grow and get some much needed attention.

And it worked!

I did this for steemit
but I also wanted to get noticed by the whales.

And as it happened,
I got noticed by the biggest whale of all
Hive account@ned upvoted and resteemed my Paris post and if you
don't believe me look at the 31st post on his feed =)

So that was it!
After all that I could just sit back
relax and watch the money roll in, right?

Wrong! to find out what I did next
you'll have to come back for part 2 =)
