Quick Guide To Gaining Upvotes & Followers.
Well briefly I did some quick research and found these useful tips on how to build your steemit account rapidly for newbies like myself and gain upvotes
These 3 pointers seem to be "time tested and trusted" these are what I could gather up:
1: Using hashtags like #CraigRant #UpvoteForUpVote (do return the love to your upvoters) are more helpful than the regular #steem #steemit
2: Commenting on posts are almost if not as rewarding as making posts but I must say you'd have to be giving well over 10 comments per day
3: Still posting is very crucial, make sure you try as hard as possible to put out a minimum of 2 posts everyday
Well I saw other helpful post tips like timing, I couldn't really make much out of it because we all come from different time zones and have different work/wake hours, figure what time you feel has more active steemians online to help getting your post upvoted.
Shout out to @CraigRant & @TrevonJB you guys are my mentor's.
I'd try some of them to see if it works, fingers crossed by the way.
