STEEMIT AWARDS - TOP 5 ACCOUNTS TO FOLLOW MARCH 2018

Steemit Awards 2018 – Top 5 Accounts to Follow

Steemit community has enjoyed unbelievable growth over the last few months. In this post, we highlight Steemit top users and why you should follow their accounts.

For those who are new to Steemit, Steemit.com is a blogging platform powered blockchain that pays users for curating content on the site. Only comments and posts stats are considered. You can take part by voting and commenting on posts or just creating posts. In return for your work, you get rewarded with Steem Power or Steem (SBD).

Before we get started, it is important to note that not all users with large followings necessarily create good unique content. While going through each and every account, I realized that a few of top followed accounts were simply re steeming content for the money. However, I must underscore the importance of creating good, informative and captivating content along with community engagement in order to gain a substantial amount of following.

To come up with this list, I took into consideration factors such as reputation scores, post count, followers, following, posting, curation, Steem, and Steem Power.

Furthermore, I took a quantitative approach rather than qualitative one in putting together this list. That means these accounts are created for different purposes. Some are used just to resteem (to earn SBD), others are solely meant for voting, and still, others are genuine Steemit users who actively post good content on the site.

If you’re wondering what accounts are worth following then this list is for you.

So here are the top 5 accounts to follow complied by me on the 2nd of March.

#1 @cryptoriddler (79449 followers)
@cryptoriddler, who joined Steemit in June, 2017, boasts of a whooping 79,449 followers, 56 reputation score and a 73, 862 following. This account has created 598 posts to date. Many of their posts are about photography, creating and solving riddles. It’s an account you would definitely want to follow.

#2 @always1success (40216 followers)
@always1success is another Steemit top user you need to follow. This account has amassed a total of 65 reputation scores and a pretty decent 40, 216 followers. The user is also following 175, 809 other people. I went through their blog and found out they like sharing content about travel as well as nature photography.

#3 @rmp (34949 followers)
@rmp joined Steemit in August 2017 but has already gained 34,949 followers. Rmp’s reputation scores stands at 48, though they are following 83,425 other people. The user has made just 27 posts, majority of which are in the art and photography category. Although this account has a built a huge followership in a short period of time, the owner must be forgiven for doing a lot of re-steeming to earn money.

#4 @jerrybanfield (32510 followers)
@jerrybanfield is one top user who has made an enormous number of posts on Steemit. He boasts of 29269 posts created between May 2017 and March 2018. Jerry has 73 reputation scores and is also a Steem Witness (Steem miner). Besides following 578 other users, Jerry’s current number of followers stands at 32510.

#5 @sweetsssj (27620 followers)
@sweetsssj is a regular blogger on the site. She treats her 27, 620 followers to great content ranging from food, travel, to cats, fashion and life. A Steemit user since August 2016, @sweetsssj has create 15, 258 posts since then. Perhaps that explains why her reputation scores stands at a solid 75. She is currently following 412 people.

There you have it! These are the top 5 users to consider following in 2018.

I want to point out that it takes a lot of effort and hard work to gain followers especially if you are building a following from the ground up. The best strategy is to make a post that can attract peoples’ hearts as well as making good comments on other user’s blog posts.

Last but not least, don’t give up.
