Clearly everyone from the first day on steemit gets overwhelmed by the beauty of Steemit and the welcoming message they received

From all the Bots in the first place!

And after that from many users that are in a Follow me kind of message or check my blog

And there you go it gets you hooked and you start to do the same
Because you belive thats is the way it works on steemit
( I personally had this feeling)

You start to reply to fresh post on the same basis
Of Follow me kind of thing

Some of them go even haven't stopped doing it even after 2 months
So they have over 2000 followers
Nothing bad with that

You are good to have 2000 followers

The problem starts when you post and you realise that from all your 2000 followers you only get 1 upvote or 2
So your post doesn't really get any rewards

Why is it that happening if you have 2000 followers?

Well because you haven't really built a fan base followers

You only have some numbers your 2000 followers are just numbers

In order to build Followers to upvote on your Post and Comments you need to write Posts!!

Commenting has to somehow help the post you reply to, if you have any knowledge about it reply and let everyone know, you might get some followers from there
Let them choose if they should follow your blog

Basically 1 follower that follows you because you might give some good info or because likes that you have left some good comments on his posts will be more valuable to you then all you 2000 follow for follow thig

After you have written a post
Make sure you answer to all comments and Upvote the ones you believe it stands out the most

Now the next step is to go and start commenting on other posts and make friends

To make friends you have a few tools you can use

Firstly you have Steemit chat I suggest starting from there

general where you should interact with users

Ask them how it works and help will be given

#postpromotion where you can drop te link

After that you have Discord a mobile 📱 application download it from Google play store free
and you just need to star using a few channels like
@minnowsupport , PAL, Whaleshare

Here is an invite

After that you can start using a few different forums

Eostalk.io is a forum that has the same layout as Chainbb and same functions
