I spent 2 - 4 hour in steemit almost 3 days a week

1100 SP        58 reputation     260 blog       82 follower

what i learned ( tips )
It is not that much but i will share it honestly maybe it help specially newbie , maybe i am wrong about some tips , i will leave it all to the discussion  

 What to do , this what i found helpful

1 - steemit is not always about your blog you should make it 50% - 50% if you spend 1 hour a day to make a blog spend another hour to comment in other blogs  , first that will make you learn to make a better blog in the future , second you will make at least a new friend and that is crucial .

2 - good blog need a good title
give your blog a title that summarize the content but  don't reveal it .

3 - it is always good strategy to bring reader from outside ( steemit chat , facebook , tweeter ,,, )

4 - the first 30 min is the most vital so try to spread your blog around before it hit 30 min
from my little experience most of your reward from that window .

5 - smart upvote : always try to read or at least scan the blog fast before you upvote it , the best time to upvote  is form 25 - 29 min , some time you will take a full upvote 100% and other time your vote will be just supportive according to content .

6 - I use all my rewards to power up .

7 - chose the first tag carefully and make them only 4 tags , 5 tags make most of them not showing up .

Do not do this please
this list is either something i did and it harm me\other or something i know that its not a good idea

1 -  do not never ever buy upvote , first that make you look very bad ,  steemit is not a one day market it is a community and people know eatch other

2 - better to not ask other to upvote or follow you , if you like a blog you can upvote it and say why you like it , if you follow someone you inform him and describe why you follow him , that is more legit to me

3 - do not edit a blog except for a typo or a grammer mistakes
i did that a lot , English is not my native language after all :)

4 - do not flag any one anywhere for any reason , that will make you an enemy
if i dislike something i will comment and say why .

5 - do not give up , be patient & persistent and thing will get better soon 

  So in a nutshell i write my blog , add some feature and review it then post it and spread it out side steemit in a 10 min then i comment in other blog for 1 hour , that make them indirectly open your profile and see your blog so you get an upvote if you don't , well at least you communicate and make a new friend  , when some one comment on my blog i reply , with this plan i do both blog and comment on others blog in same time , that's all . 

Thank you for reading  , waiting for your tips ,
am i right about all ? do you have something to edit or add ?    :)
