Steem power only makes a diference if you are upvoting yourself.
Community is still key here. It will help you greatly to meet established members(in the comment sections, or outside chat boards) and find your niche. You have to start by finding people. It will only be by a stroke of luck that they will find a week old newbie.
Followers less than 1000 or 5000 mean nothing because as many as 90% are follow for follow trolls. They will never look at your posts again. I have 500+ followers, but only 20-40 that regularly visit my Posts.
Like was already said.... Less than a month here??? Count your time here as your Steemit Class 101 or internship. Except intead of having to pay, you can still get paid while you train. Even if pennies...its not out of pocket.
And finally.....for nearly every newbie, your posts are probably only subpar for the first 5 or 10 or 50. Again, look at it as on the job training.
So, we are glad you are here. Glad you are commenting! We hope the best for you!
Indeed:
This is me now. Once I have more followers, I won't upvote myself (or use minnowbooster) 😃
P.S. Ya got an extra upvote cause I was logged into my cannabis page.... Woot! LOL!
Woohoo dbl vote!! XD
Yeah, I have been upvoting myself less recently. In the end my own upvote only adds pennies.
Still waiting for a Curie find.
I would say, if you are very confident a post is a winner, don't upvote or buy votes, try and garner some support .....promote yourself to friends, and pray it will take off!!
Ya never know!!
I do that. For instance, if you scroll below I explain... but I minnowbooster a contest entry post today, that while TOTALLY amazing... Meh. Lol!
