How To Get 3000+ Followers In A Couple of Days and Therefore Promote Your Post For FREE(Doing Almost Nothing!)
When I first joined Steemit I got followed by @cryptoriddler who had ~70 000 followers(maybe ~60 000, I don't know exactly, it's not important anyways) and he followed about exact amount of people.So I knew if I follow as many people as possible, some percentage of them will follow me back.I searched how to follow people automatically on Steemit and saw this post https://steemit.com/steemit/@sundarrajan/automatically-follow-people-from-any-steemit-profile
Next I went on trending page to find people who have many followers, and found:@haejin(~28K),@jerrybanfield(~35K)...(later I saw @vaansteam follows ~100 K people, and you can also execute script on the 'followed' page of any profile).Before I executed script I first wrote a post https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@emirk/electroneum-good-buying-opportunity-for-short-term-or-long-term-gains so people who would eventually look at my profile could upvote post if they like it.
During the execution of the script I also got lucky, as I was 1000th @afrosiab 's follower and he upvoted my post, with a significant value, and mentioned me in his '1000 followers reached' post so I managed to get 10$ rewards on my first post, without investing a penny.
I didn't write about this as I thought that many people are using this 'strategy' already and I haven't discovered anything new, and I also don't have time to dedicate myself to Steemit(and crypto in general) as I would like, as I have a lot of obligations on faculty right now(and it also takes me time to write a post, as English is not my native language).But, recently when I posted my '1000 followers reached' post I saw that many people found impressive that I reached 1000 followers so fast, so I thought I will make a post about it and at the same time make some money :) but I haven't got time till now to make a post.
Before I finish with this post I want to share some additional notes:
1.In the first launch of the script I needed to follow ~25 000 people to reach ~1000 followers, then I ran it few more times, in last run I got ~3000 followers in ~4 days;I haven't run it nearly as many times as I could, so you can get even better results
2.This will reduce your remaining bandwidth which you can track at steemd.com/@your_username, and your allowance bytes will also fluctuate if you're new so it is better to use it as much as possible when it is high(when there is not a lot of activity on Steemit, for me it happens to be around 10 pm GMT), so you can e.g. go to someone's profile and open 3-4 tabs each starting with a follower who's name starts with a different letter('a','g'...) and run it simultaneously, but don't run too many at the same time, as your allowance bytes would go down rapidly, experiment for yourself to find best scenario
3.Later if you want to clean up your feed and unfollow non followers you can use this script https://steemit.com/steemit/@emirk/automatically-unfollow-non-followers-on-steemit-script
4.Lastly, more followers doesn't necessary mean more rewards on your posts and obviously if you want to earn some 'real' money you have to invest in your post(buying upvotes), but if you don't have money to invest this can help you a little(I found it to be most effective to write a post and then run a script, so you can get more people to see your post and eventually upvote it, so the biggest value of this isn't in getting more followers but in promoting your post for free)
