Learn the Secrets of How @liberosist Got 15,000 Steem Power and You Can Too

If Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein and Marie Curie were on Steemit, I’m certain they would be following @liberosist for high quality content related to science, especially in the realm of astronomy and astrophysics.  (I’ll give Neil deGrasse Tyson a call and clue him in on what he’s missing.)  So far @liberosist has earned over 15,000 Steem Power, and is rocketing along at the speed of Steem.

Dolphin Digest recently interviewed @liberosist to discover the scientific method to the madness.

@liberosist will be answering questions down in the comment section below, so make sure to leave to drop a line if you want the real scoop on how to grow your Steemit Blog!

- What is the concept underlying your Steemit Blog? What kind of content do you produce?

It's still early days. So far, I have written about science (particularly astronomy), history and the occasional Steem analysis. A centerpiece of my Blog is an on-going sci-fi thriller story. I plan to diversify into gaming and movies. My target is one good post per week.

- Did you buy any Steem to power up, or have you earned all of it organically by engaging on the platform?

I powered up with 200 Steem Power when I first signed up. Unfortunately, Steem was $4 at the time - I got the worst deal!

- What leads you to want to follow someone?

No hard and fast rule - just people who consistently produce interesting and original content. I also follow some based on their #IntroduceYourself post - to see what they will create next. 

- What kind of content do you most like to upvote?

Diverse and original. The more obscure and niche the subject, the better it is.
- How do you discover exciting new content?I follow hundreds of steemers. I use SteemStats to keep track as it offers real-time notifications. 

- Do you only upvote content for curation rewards or also content that you think is valuable and want to support?

I upvote content that I feel is valuable, but do cash in on curation rewards sometimes for "sure-shot" trending posts. 

- Which whales do you recommend Steemers follow and why?

Interesting, I don't think the whales are creating much content, except for perhaps Dan. Anyone deeply interested in the platform could probably follow comments by @dantheman, @ned, @smooth, @steemed, @berniesanders and @blocktrades. 

- Which dolphins do you recommend Steemers follow and why?

There are so many! But here are three, randomly off the top of my mind. @justtryme90 for excellent science-related content, @coinbitgold for attempting to bring academia to Steemit and @allasyummyfood for original and well made cooking videos. 

@liberosist will be answering questions down in the comment section below, so make sure to take a moment to ponder what you most want to learn about Steemit and leave a thoughtful question for him to answer.

Let's Network!

Finding and following whales is easy.  Unfortunately, getting them to recognize the value of your content is all but impossible.  That’s why I created Dolphin Digest.  So that up-and-coming Steemit stars can learn the secrets of success from those who have already achieved their goals.  Minnows will have a chance to network with others who are closer to their level than the big names everyone is trying to get ahold of. 

Don’t forget to follow @dolphindigest if you like this sort of thing, as well as @liberosist.  I can’t wait to see how the sci-fi thriller series ends. 

If you’re a dolphin and you’d like to be interviewed for my blog, or you know of an excellent dolphin who I should reach out to, leave me a comment below and tell me all about it.

Keep swimming,
