Don't beg for upvote for upvote. Sooner you'll realize how many potential followers will avoid you.I, myself hate seeing people begging for upvotes. If you want to real upvotes and real followers start by making genuine interactions with people around here.

I know my upvote is not that much but I would have freely given it to you and followed you if ONLY you did not beg for upvote for upvote.

Good luck with your Steemit journey. Hope you'll learn a lot.
