HOW TO MANAGE YOUR STEEMIT POST

Hello all. Steemit can be a powerhouse for traffic and rankings in many different ways. If you manage to get on the Steemit homepage (The front page of the Internet), well you better make sure that your server can handle that! You can get an insane amount of traffic if that happens and it stays there for a while!

What I'd like to ask is if anyone uses Steemit and how they go about getting upvotes on their Steemit posts? I know that best way to submit a link and all of that. And if it's unique and it's appealing to people then it will naturally get a lot of upvotes.

But there are also some Steemit upvote groups and communities on Facebook. Several on Google+ and several forums that do upvote4upvote and the like. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any of those forums that do that sort of thing? Any Internet Marketing forums perhaps that have Reddit Exchange or Steemit upvote threads that you know of?

Or is there some other way of getting upvotes on your Steemit posts that you know about and use that you would care to share with the community here and the rest of us that would like to know

These are all valid points.
But how many can you actually follow before your feed is swapped and you can't keep up?

Let's say you follow 100 people and they all post, that's 100 blogs in your feed and let's say they resteem 2 or 3 posts from people you dont follow. That's a lot of content hitting your feed that you might not like.

What im getting at here is that you have to manage your feed even when you follow a very small amount of members. So it never really makes sense to me not to follow lot's.

You can go slow and steady and be very, very strict on who you follow and yet still see content you might not like or you can be more aggresssive in following peole and just be more willing to manage your feed and gain more followers faster.
Cause isn't that what we want, as many followers as possible so that we are seen, so we get more UpVotes so we get more comments and resteems.

I pretty much don't pay to attention to my feed instead what i do is know who im truly following and then i visit their page and i can see everything they are upto. You could even bookmark interesting people so you don't lose them in your feed.
