How to win more followers (and be the King of Steemit)?

When we analyze other social networks, what makes people's key success is their subscriber numbers. Not what they report to them, no no no, you will only be judged by the number of people who follow you.

Since then, I wondered But how to win more subscribers on Steemit?

Because, as you will have already noticed, I have fewer followers than most of you. Hmm.

Before anything else: introduce yourself to the community. This is the crucial moment to win the first followers. Must put the package. It's now ... or never (or almost). We go out the big game, we talk about ourselves, we selfie with a Steemit panel etc (and we're inspired by my intro post.How can I brag?).

First thing, choose a theme for your blog. A theme ? Yes, a theme. The more precise it is, the more likely you are to reach and therefore hit your target (followers). For example, for @roxane, I chose the theme of support for Francophone newcomers. This is very specific and will probably follow me a lot of the new ones, those who still have a little trouble with blockchain technology and those who want to support the development of the FR community.

When we are bloggers, it's important to know who we are talking to, who our audience is. If we do not know, we write for everyone ... In the end, it does not affect anyone.

Secondly, remember that in francophonie at the moment, we are not very numerous. And that a follower, it is interesting for you from the moment he is himself interested in what you tell. Well, that, it finally join, what I said there above.

So it's not about having hundreds of subscribers who will eventually put you in mute because they're not interested in your favorite topics.

For example, if you're only talking about food, try to get followers on food blogs and not IT blogs. There is little chance that a techos will be affected by your cookies and cannelloni.

Thirdly, get involved in the community (and that's the finish, ZE most important point but I still put it in third position story that you already have a strategy to bait your followers. -in!).

• Welcome newcomers. It may sound strange, but believe me or not, I try to welcome all the people freshly landed under the hastag FR combined with Introduceyouself. On the one hand, it's welcoming to a new user. He feels valued (if you upvot him), he feels immediately part of the community and makes him want to stay (because hey if he fell on Steemit, it can scare him, to you to redirect it for example, on Busy).

• Go comment under the topics of articles that interest you, it will allow you to get noticed by your relevant comments, your sympathy, your voting power (Muahahaha -> laughing fat). Be regular, be visible.

• Go for a ride on the Chat Steemit (and then especially on Discord too). Papotate with people, make friends-mates, get interested in them and you'll see ... They'll be interested in you!

• Participate in contests, it gives you a lot of visibility. Believe my girlfriend @ ikaputri3 who has quickly made a place among the English speaking leaders ... I predict that she will go far.

• Participate in all possible activities IRL (It means In Real Life for those who do not know like me, there are still few :-D) like Meetups (and SteemFest!). Meet people in real life, it creates a link, so people will be better able to follow you (and so you upvot!).

• Launch a crazy idea to the community. For example, I saw one of my compatriots, @detlev launch the BeerSaturday Challenge. And it works with thunder! And hop, he gives rewards, challenges people and gets so much more in return! This guy has understood everything!

Fourth, be regular. As with anything you do, regularity is an important factor for your success.

On the one hand, because it allows the creation of a link with your followers (they do not have time to forget you Muahahahha -> psychedelic laughter). That keeps them loyal ... And do not forget that a happy subscriber can bring back his friends!

And on the other hand, by posting regularly, this will potentially attract more people since you will be more visible.

(Ps: Do not do like me with my Youtube channel where I post when it takes me: it is useless! Post once a month, once a week or once a day, but decide it and stick to it you!).

Fifth, (and my favorite) create unique and quality content. People will follow you for what you are saying, to find out what you have to say again, becauseyou answer one of their problems, because that answers one of their questions.

Sixth, use the right tags. Ha.Ha.Ha. I can already hear you laughing. But WTF, what tag, but which tag should I use? In fact, in reality. I can not answer you. In fact, I'm in the same trouble as you. For the moment, let's say we are lucky, under the tag FR, there are not many people, sometimes, I hesitate even to be content with that one. Let's say that in the near future, the question will rest. By then, we are safe and sound. We post under #FR (we forget the tag France, the Tag of your city, we forget all the tags to the con where there is that we who post). The goal of the tag is to have visibility eh ma'am.

And finally,be yourself (because as who would say, 'all the others already taken')! People like authentic people, with personality and style of their own! This will make them want to know you, and then you seem human. Not just a copy and paste of I do not know who.

Last but not least: There are a lot of things you can not do to win Followers, but that will be part of an upcoming article :-) This one is already quite long enough.

All this reflects my opinion and if you have one too, do not hesitate to share it and increase this list to help a maximum of people! A word to you ...
