Here is one way to get rich on steemit, Power Up with $10000 of steem power. You immediately get loads of followers and when every you post you get loads of up votes. The reason is people follow the money.
If you don't have $10000 (like me) try to buy Steem Power every week with spare cash you have. Join a Guild and buy upvotes with your SBD on day 6. On day 7 you get your money back and you repeat this. I am using about 4 member upvotes per post.
Write a post every day in line with your online business interest.
Be persistent and never give up.
Good luck.
