Beginners Guide To Getting Started With Steemit (REVISED), by @shayne || 4. Be mindful who you follow
4. Be mindful who you follow
Honestly, if you like someone's content, follow them.
This isn't really a hard-and-fast rule, but it's something that works for me in terms of making it easier to find good content to upvote and comment on.
One of the most useful things about your following list is that these are the people that will show up in your "home" feed, and you can get notifications from them. This is very important because if you follow powerful accounts you will know right away when they have posted, which means you'll have an edge in reading their content, upvoting it, and leaving a great comment right at the top of the post.
If you find someone in the "hot" or "trending" tabs that you really like, follow them, and be active when they post.
It is also important to follow up-and-commers: minnows who are doing all the right things and are posting great content.
Here is the list of people that I follow and why I follow them to get you started. They are all great accounts for doing exactly what I'm talking about, so follow them. Some are artist, some are bloggers, some are YouTubers, some are developers. All are good.

^ This is what we call "comment spam" in it's purest form, and it's everything that is is wrong with steemit, in a nutshell. Take this as a learning moment folks and don't do this ^ It's "begging" and you should have more self-esteem and integrity than this. Plus it's crap no one wants to see here, plain and simple. AND it's bad strategy, the followers who find each other this way, are not quality traffic for your posts at all.
I'm really confused by the Facebook link part, personally. I cannot imagine how it's beneficial to draw traffic from Facebook to Steemit.
Funny you mention it, though it's actually trying to draw traffic from steemit TO facebook, i know you meant it this way. Because it is VERY beneficial to draw facebook friends to become new steemit users and follower pairs.
So while you were writing this reply to me a few min ago, I was busy being inspired by this little comment to produce this:

Thanks for the great information !
