The Ultimate Guide To Posting and Growing On Steemit

Many people have asked me for a list of things they could use to better their blog. While many people personally feel their post are lacking that's not always the case. It could be any number of reasons active followers, resteems, it could be that you lack exposure.

This is a guide that explains how to build the trust of the community and to build a level of interaction with people of the community. We will also go into the places you can target to get the SEO build up you will need for your profile. Exposure is key but understanding the community and having a deeper level of interaction plus understanding can go very far.

You can also focus on the quality of your posts but you don't need to have the highest level of quality at the start. It's better to let your community see how you grow and build your own style of blogging instead of following a standard of long-form posts that no one reads anyways.

First we will start with community interaction and communication:

Voice and text communication with the community can lead to an increase of votes and a growth in your following. Interacting on a more personal level and have conversations with your followers. This gives you an advantage the community can lead to more votes and high quality of opinions on your posts and the subjects you're interested in.

Basic text communications can help, using places like steemit.chat or steemspeak can be in your best interest. If you can spare thirty minutes to an hour, that's long enough time that you can talk with a few people and get in on a few discussions that are currently going on. It's recommended you do that at least a few times a week. Don't just link drop and walk away it's tempting but odds are it will just be ignored.

The basic voice communication is similar to the basic text communication as it also gives you the ability to grow. Building a basic communication line between you and others can really be useful especially with voice communication. This can make topics a whole lot more exciting since you tend to hear people's tones when having a discussion.

There is more than a few discords for this community that have people in the 24/7 steemspeak being the first that comes to mind. If you can spare the time maybe an hour a day can help. Those who tend to stick around longer periods of time seem to get decent votes.

Its also a good idea that you up vote peoples comments in your post and reply. Not saying you have to reply to all the comments and vote on all them. But it does help build interaction with your followers and people who check there replies are likely to come back to see what you wrote to them which can lead to more followers.
