How to get more relevant followers.

By only commenting

I wanted to write about this for a while now, but over and over again I got new ideas for posts so I decided to write about those other items, until this morning. This morning, something weird happened on one of my posts. I wrote a story about @randowhale and my first time trying to get a nice upvote from randowhale(check here if you want to know more about that). But I will show you what I mean at the end of the post(bummer, or just scroll down!)

When I started at Steemit, I had no followers at all, just like everybody else who started. I did not know anybody here, nobody who showed me how it works, and nobody who helped me by resteeming whatsoever. So I needed to start building followers. I started on the 11 of may with no follower, at this moment I have 108 followers. Are there Steemians who grow faster in follower count? Sure there are, but I try to build up a relevant, nice quantity of followers.

But Gindor, how did you do that? Tell me, Tell me!!

Well, I started off the wrong way. I started posting my "hello Steemit, here I am" introduction post very fast. I was hoping to get some followers there, but Instead of that, I got some upvotes(thankfully for that!), and a small quantity of followers(also thankful for that!). But what did I chance since then? I started reading a lot, and I mean a lot on Steemit. I spend a few hours a day with reading on Steemit. One big benefit; I like reading the stuff people post. I am not following people who talk nonsense to me, or follow people to get followers back, I do not believe in that strategy, as people who do that build up followers fast, but not the right followers if you ask me.

After reading post a good comment, something you mean.

I started posting comments to people who write good stuff, who make sense in a blog or a vlog. Two advantages; the Steemians who write the blog, or record the vlog, are interested in the same stuf as you are, if you follow the people who you are interested in.. Sounds confusing, but what I mean is if jou follow people you are interested in, you can automatically put in a good comment. This means that the blogger feels appreciated if he gets a good comment, and he might be in for following you, especially if you post vallid comments over and over again!

The other big advantage is, people who take the time to read the post, most of the time also take the time to check out the comments. And this can give you some good upvotes and followers on your comment.

Back to what i saw this morning

Ok, here is what you all have been waiting for; why did I decide to write this post today...? Well, check this print screen, which shows what I mean with commenting can give you good relevant followers, and will make you earn your first upvotes, i am sure about that!

**As you can see, the first comment shown in the prinstscreen got more upvotes then my post did! ** How come? I have no clue, only thing it tells me, is that what I am telling you, is true!

Good luck on posting comments. I will upvote all comments I get bellow, just as I appreciate you taking effort to read my post and starting with commenting on the post that says you have to do it!

Hope you enjoyed my post. Greetings @gindor
