#SteemIt: You want a higher reputation and more upvotes, but you are an idiot!
EVERYBODY wants to have a higher reputation, more upvotes and more followers but almost nobody follows the basic principle on how to achieve this.

The key is to be constructive!
Judging by my experience, most Steemians comment with 'nice photo' and expect to get upvoted, followed and an increased reputation.
It might work for a handful of Steemians but it won't work for everybody.
Provide the Steemian who's post you are commenting on with constructive criticism or feedback, upvote their post and for the love of each and every deity - do not demand that they follow you because you were being constructive!
I don't know about everyone else, but I immediately get put off when people demand that I follow them back because they supposedly followed me - I will examine your content and if I do find it applicable to my liking, informative and useful, I will stalk you to the ends of the earth.
PS. Upvoting posts is essential to your continued growth, it is how you gain followers!
Did you know you can see who upvoted you by clicking on the number of upvotes within your post?
So, if you really want your account to grow, then follow these simple four steps:
Upvote!
Comment constructively!
And read the damn post before you comment!
Post informative, useful content!
Correct! But worst part is the very poor content and lot of time need to spend to find a good content.!
Especially if you're trying to grow your own account. I see it daily now. The sad part is that some Steemians upvote good looking content based on the first look without actually examining it in its entirety.
Hopefully it will not and up with hierarchy. I had been in a photographer site for years. There was very similar system but nobody got paid for posting but instead rewarded with different badges and some how always some who are superior from others even the quality is not corresponding to the reward because they where running on those who wants to be notices in big ocean and if you where to active you risk to be downgraded and your vote is worth almost nothing. The site is closed now obviously! It can’t run for long time, sooner or later people are noticing this and losing interest. For the moment I have no idea have they will manage to get quality content visible and correctly reward people for their content.
