Some of the best advice that I got from @paradise-found :
- When you're beginning, spend a lot of time reading post and genuinely. I mean commenting something that contributes the post in a meaningful way. Not just a "oh nice post, thanks for posting." This will get you followers and will rapidly increase your reputation.
- If you can, buy into some steem with your with your fiat currency for other cryptocurrencies. This will show that you are committed to posting well, and will immediately make your upvote worth something even if it's just a few cents. This translate to that people will comment on your blog because they would like you to vote their comments. Also, even your own up votes will be worth something and you begin to accumulate steam faster.
- Post in a consistent basis. Whatever the paces, just keep going.
I'm not too good with this last instruction. I'm still working on my formula. Just passing on some advice from a solid steemian.
