Who is winning at Steemit? How can you model the whales so you can get better results?

While I only officially joined Steemit a few days ago, I have been around online communities for a while. One of the things that always works is to see who is getting results that you would like, and modelling what they do to get those results.

Now, yes, there is a gaming system going on that some are using, and also there are a ton of bots (which are cool, but outside the scope of this article!), so what can we do organically?

  1. Be you, be unique, be interesting
  2. Have real conversations - No "nice!" "upvoted" "following" - show you are reading and processing the content you comment on.
  3. Follow interesting people so that your feed is full of good stuff that you will WANT to reply to
  4. Post useful or entertaining content
  5. Show it is useful or entertaining by using good headlines - what will the person get out of reading your content
  6. Add eye-catching images.

Examples ...

Look over some of the people I discovered and you will see they are hitting all the points I made above

Bottom line

Anyway, the point is, follow the tips, but more importantly look at the people YOU are following and ask yourself why. What do they do differently? Why are they appealing.

You might just learn something that gives your own profile a boost :)
