Dear Steemians,
Today we will cover one of the hottest subjects on Steemit. - The Trending Pages.
For most people on Steemit, the trending pages feels "unreachable", but most people are still eagerly trying to do whatever they can to accomplish what seems to be "impossible".

The fantastic community have time after time broken the boundaries to what "impossible" really stands for.. - Impossible have become possible on Steemit.
Are you not convinced yet?
- Have you heard about the make-up tutorial that reached $30K?
- Did you miss the second make-up tutorial, the parody one, that reached $10K?
- Do you remember the homeless guy?
- How about the kid who had the best birthday of his life..
The list goes on and on.. And on.. And on.. And on..
If you missed out on these things.. - I'm sorry, but don't worry. It's nothing near the fantastic things Steemit does each day for people.
Steemit have already changed people's lives several times..
And this is still only the beginning!
How To Reach The Trending Pages.

Let's dive into it right away.
- These posts are Trending at the time I'm writing this:
And here's some of the authors:
- You nailed it! - They have tons of followers.
I have said this a million times already: Followers are vital for success on Steemit.
Here's a previous posts of mine that covers that topic.
I also recommend this previous post of mine:
However..
You won't gain thousands of followers overnight. Like on any other social media platform, in life, friendship or relationships.. - Building reputation and trust takes time.
Seriously speaking..
I guess you believe that you're worth every single cent in the world for what you create.. - Most people are like that. For starters. - Suddenly, they'll realize that things happens for a reason.
That superb post you saw the other day with $1500+ in potential rewards.. - Yeah, that author probably spent 2 hours writing it and that author have probably been active on Steemit for at least 6+ months.
- Time and effort. - That's what it takes to crack this nut.
Remember that next time you read a Trending post worth $500+. - Even if the author wrote the entire article in 15 minutes.. - They've most likely spent hundreds of hours prior to that!

Another post I'd recommend you to read is this: If you're new to steem or steemit and you aren't making HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS yet -- let me explain why...
That post covers several aspects and I truly recommend reading it.
If you haven't already, make sure you follow: @intelliguy
And why should you listen to me?
- It's a fair question and I will give you the best possible answer I can.
One of the reasons are due to my previous posts..
As you can see, I've actually been there myself a few times..
In the Trending pages..
And you know what?
Even though it's several months ago.. - I'm still proud over the things I've achieved.
Not only due to the results I had.. But also for the fact that I actually made it.
- I know for a fact, that I've had these results.. And I also know, that I will be able to reach them again. At some point. - As long as I don't
give up, and that word doesn't even exist in my vocabulary.
To provide you even more facts, so you can decide if you should believe me or not..
Take a look at my Followers. I've been able to get more than 55 new followers in the last few days.. - So I'm definitely doing something right.

Let's continue.
If you like it or not doesn't matter. Some things will never change.
- Hard work and effort is what it takes to build yourself a good following. - Reliability and Reputation will increase over time, along with new followers.
Also, don't try to be someone you're not. Even if you'll reap amazing rewards by doing that, it won't last long. - Be true to yourself. Be you. - Because you are amazing!
I've seen hundreds of people during my time here, people who's angry, people who feels disappointed and people who is blaming "the system" for their lack of results.. - You know what I haven't seen from the same people?
- Plain, simple, honest posts.
Most of them have tried to become someone they can't be. They've tried to be cryptocurrency-experts even though they've never heard about it before. - They've tried to be awesome authors and simply copied other people's work..
At one point, several months ago, one guy even copied my own story. I didn't earn much from that post.. But I took it as a huge insult. He copied my personal story about my father's death, amongst other things..
And what did I do?
- I gathered some evidence and that person's reputation went down the drain.

There are no shortcuts..
If you want to become an established steemian.. If you want to contribute and afterwards, in return for your contributions be rewarded.. - There's only one way to go.
- That means hard work. Struggles. Bumps and more bumps..
- You need to work through every failure you have..
- You need to push yourself no matter how hard it gets..

I will think of this post if I reach my first trending post
That would be awesome. Remember that in a month or two ;)
Yes, nice writen, great picture and a good story to motivate other. All this together makes a great post.
Thanks for your work, I will work me into trending over the time.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. :)
I wish you the best of luck in the future! - Let me know when you reach the trending pages! :)
Really nice post! I think the best advice is too be persistent and create quality posts. Engaging in the community is also extremely important. I have gained 250 followers doing this in just 3-4 weeks. Thank you for this post. It inspired me to keep going!
It would definitely be cool to get that kind of pay with every post. However, my blog is about doing weekly calls for silver trading using leverage accounts. So my audience is way too small..
However i find that it really helps me to focus on making the right calls. Because I dont want to let my loyal followers down :)
I agree with @arsenal49 , hard work and consistency are key.
That's a nice achievement! - Congratulations on your success so far. I'm happy for you :)
Another gem from you op :)
Thank you very much libert, I appreciate it! :)
i hope this trends.👍
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words :)
It's not trending, but I'm at the #25th spot on "hot", so that counts for something! :)
At last, i found a true motivation . thanks
...Make great posts
Excellent post. I really like that you stress to be yourself and authentic.
I'm glad you liked it. To be yourself is the most important part. At all times. As I mentioned in the post, you can pull off some superb results while you're being someone else.. But that will hurt you in the long run. - So stick to the things you're good at: Be yourself.
Thank you for helping! The bottom line then is to be true to your self!
That is correct! - Be you because no one will ever be a better you than yourself. :)
Thanks for that info. I like posts with applicable information. I think I'm going to put a little more effort into gaining followers than just creating content. Even though in many instances they overlap.
You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it. Just keep going and don't give up! :)
Hey, very good post!
And I hope you will be 65 after all the votes...
You totally deserve it! :)
Thank you for your kind words. I hope I'll reach it too, but even if I won't do it with this post, it will be the post after that.. Or the one after that.. Or the next. It's okay either way! :)
Only those who never give up will reach the trending page on Steemit. What an inspiring post, @hitmeasap! I enjoyed reading it, very useful!!
Upvoted & Followed you as well.
Thank you! - It sure is effort and hard work that will bring you good results.. With time anything is possible! :)
I agree with you!
Well it was no get trending quick scheme :) but I dont think there is one. It's pretty accurate. I would also say that reputation has a lot to do with it. but that comes with trust and persistence too! thanks for posting. Not that it is changing anything I'm doing. But it did validate it. I will keep working hard towards getting more followers and reputation. Following now, best of luck to you sir!
Thank you, I appreciate it. - Time & effort. Quality & persistence. You'll reach success in no time! :)
I think there is a trick in getting more audience aside from Post promotion......i think there is a trick🤔
Yeah, sure. You could (and should), promote your posts on social medias too. That's how you grow your audience outside of Steemit. - Steemit is only one place. FB, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube etc. All are great places to promote your content to ultimately bring more people to Steemit.
very true, i agree!
Thank you so much for this insight. Now i know what to do and will put in effort to gain more followers. Besides writing quality articles, putting in efforts to comment on other people's article will also gain followers.
You nailed it! :)
Interact & have fun!
thats amazing!! good research and i really agree with the fact that its all about building connections and relationships. It takes time, but my next goal is to reach 1000 followers here!! :))) Lets smash it! and good shout i need to check my rating!!
Thank you! I wish you the best of luck in reaching your 1K follower goal, and I know you'll do it shortly. Just keep doing what you do. People love your content! :)
thank you darling :)) i will do!!!
Great post I just had m first post go trending today, in the food category. To me, it's definitely about your following, but also content. I just got lucky today, but it really makes me want to keep up the good, original content and keep the momentum going. Congrats on your success!
That's awesome! - Congratulations! :)
Thank you @hitmeasap! That was some great content. Now I have two great additional people to follow, you and @intelliguy! I will read the rest of your links as they look very interesting :)
You're welcome! - I'm glad you decided to follow intelliguy too. And I'm glad you liked the article :)

Never give up! :)
resteem and upvote for you
....you nailed it.....thanks for this great post...
Thank you & you're welcome :)
This is a great post @hitmeasap. I feel that currently I am following pretty much all your steps:
I think right now, I just need to continue gaining new followers and let time do it's thing. Could I bother you maybe to check out my profile and take a peek at my posts to give me any honest critique?
Appreciate your posts, cheers!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked. :) - I followed you & upvoted one of your post. A great one actually. I look forward for more in the near future :)
still learning, and not afraid of doing the time, I also love to make friends, always have. So thank you for reminding me of what I need to do
I love this post, whilst its a post related specifically to trending in Steemit, the majority of sense you talk can be related back to everything in life.
My favourite quote is the following: Persistence is the key to success.
It can relate to so many things, especially a newcomer like me on steemit.
this is the best steemit post i've ever read. seriously - and, it says i'm on the right path :D you are a great inspirer @hitmeasap i must give you that. You've given me new hope - and i thank you for that. May Allah bless you for eternity :)
Great article with a load of advice to wok hard and get more followers, thanks
Thank you for his post. This is truly a booster for a minnow like me.
Noted
loooved this your writing is honestly really good :D funny and inspiring!! new follower here :)
it is really an awesome post ! am new on steemit so this is a an eye opener for me let me keep pushing until it works out
10 months later and your post is still being read by beginners such as myself. Thank You!
Good post. Thanks for the insight. Im new to steemit and dtube, only about two weeks. Not many followers and slowly getting work posted on here. My question is: being a newcomer and again, not many followers, not earning much yet, but somehow 2 of my videos have made trending lists in the last week. How is that and if they're about 15 vids from the top of the trending list, why am i not seeing much traffic? Thanks again for this post. You seem to be doing just fine.
How many votes post need to get to get in Trending feed?
Does anybody know?
Hi @hitmeasap, I have created a new tool called Custom Feed. Where you can filter posts by reputation, resteems, payout, number of votes, comments, body length, tags, authors, among others.
Maybe you are interested in it. Details here
https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@jga/introducing-custom-feed-filter-the-authors-and-posts-that-you-want-to-read
That’s incredible post im very interesting
you boost my Steemit ride througfh this awesome post...thank you
That's very inspiring mate, one question though, let say I manage to get thousands of followers, but every follower also follows thousands of authors, which means there will be thousands of posts on their feed, how do my post stays on top in that page then? Or is it at the end, I still need bots to help me?
It's impossible to have your post on the top of the feed as new articles will be published. The hot and trending pages though, are the ones you'll want to reach. If you're on top of any of those, you'll get tons of exposure and visibility.
That being said, it's almost impossible to reach the trending pages nowadays, as most authors on there spends several hundred dollars to buy they way there.
Thanks for your long reply, that is very helpful!!! Since you said it is almost impossible for minnows like us to reach the trending page, mind if I ask again, let say if I am capable of producing good content + active in interaction within this community, what else I could do other than spending money on bidbots?
Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to be a newcomer on Steemit nowadays... But good content and being active like you said, that's definitely the best way to get some traction.
There are a bunch of different projects and initiatives one can participate in and there are several discord channels where you can interact with others too. Getting to know people and doing something good for the community, or for others, is a good approach.
Thanks again for the reply, will try that out sir, god bless you!!!
Great info. Hard work beats all work. Dedication is key to success
