200 FOLLOWERS AND SUSTAINABLE STEEMING FOR MINNOWS!
I joined #Steemit back in January. My first experiences with the site only underlined my frustrations with Facebook and other mainstream social platforms and apps, and getting rewarded for adding value to the site was a 180 degree turn from those old ad and info driven model. I've always been enamored of open source projects and the decentralized nature of Steemit is also reassuring in this age of censorship of fringe voices on both the right and the left. I think sites like Steemit are giving us a preview of how social media will evolve in the next decade, and I'm happy to be making the transition early as any visionary artist should be.
With all of the benefits of Steemit, I'm happy to report that my first few months on the site and in this community have only encouraged my efforts to bring value to this scene and to encourage the artists and voices that I'm following here. Over the past few months I've been helped immeasurably by posts that have clarified how the site works, and have suggested the best strategies for establishing a sustainable voice on this platform. One thing that I observe again and again is the importance of establishing an engaged following for your posts.
Here's a video I made with some tips about how I was able to attract over 200 followers in less than four months on the site...
Did I forget anything?
How have you built your following?
What am I doing wrong? What am I doing right?

Hey Joe! Where you goin' with that STEEM in your hand?
I joined a bit earlier but I think we actually started posting regularly around the same time. Always supported you as you kickass, are talented musically, and have the inside track on movies among other things.
I am still learning as well and should be taking more advice than I am giving. One thing I would suggest (probably hated by guys like me who love spending 20 minutes visiting with you in the car) is maybe shorten up the reviews so that new folks can get their quick hits of your brilliance? Again, I just hit play and have the luxury of hearing the whole thing while working at home but often wonder who is a little more rushed than I am and miss the great stuff at the end.
Anyhow, it is good to see you back and on my feed. Happened with at least 6 other people I followed back in the day (Feb!) so maybe folks went away to make some FIAT, and are returning now with a fistful to power up again when it dips?
Welcome back buddy.
Probably easier said than done 😎 Thanks for all the support, ZP!
Always man. Also we know eachother well enough for you to tell me to fuck off if I give you a hard time about your sunglasses too. ;)
