How To Increase Followers - A Guide For New Steemers
This Is A Simple Guide To Increase Your Number of Followers
For New Users on Steemit
Welcome! Welcome to the first social media where you are getting paid for communicating online. You might have or might not have made your first post, but either way I assume you didn't make as much as the posts in the "trending" or "hot" section did. That's okay. I want to let you know that the users that are getting paid a lot has deserved it. They either invested a lot of money in SP (Steem Power) or spend a lot of hours engaging with the community, and by that creating a following so huge that it will seem impossible for you/me to ever achieve that.
It will take time for you to get there, but you can do it, just like they did it. I can do it aswell and I just figured out how to do it.
How To Get More Followers
The chart you are looking at here, is a chart showing the numbers of followers I have achieved since April 13th. As you can see, unless you can't see, my number of followers has increased a lot in the last couple of days.
This chart is a close up of the last couple of days. As it shows you I have gained somewhere near 8 followers a day, which is pretty good compared to before the 6th of May.
Why Such An Increase?
Start commenting! Yes, it is as simple as that. On the 6th of May I started commenting on a lot more post than I had ever done. I started engaging with the community, and it has really paid off. Not only have I increased my number of followers but it has been a lot more fun being on Steemit.
- Pick some topics that interest you.
- Scroll down the "new" page, pick a post that interest you, and leave a comment.
- Watch and feel the magic.
Don't be ashamed!
Don't be ashamed to ask for a follow. If you are already commenting on something you find interesting, they will probably also find your post interesting. Maybe don't ask for a follow in science when you are a strong believer in flatearth. Or maybe do actually.
Only doing posts won't get you there!
Unless you are a badass writer. I am not, but I have had some decent payout if you take into consideration I am a quite new user and only has 80ish followers.
You can't expect to get, when you are not giving. So start commenting on others post! And trust me, you will get some love, feedback, trust, money etc.
It really helped, I'll start commenting as u said from now.
Thank you man...
Please follow me .
I don't have any interesting posts yet, but I think I can get into the track soon.
That really works, I have started get involved with lot of posts. In result it has helped me

Thanks for sharing the advice and real world experience on getting more followers. I am fairly new here, but have fallen in love with this community. Let's all grow together. You have a new follower in me.

thumbs up :)
Follow me please :)
Do you have a follow-up post with stats for the last 6 months? Could be interesting to see trends, correlation between # of followers, comments, posts and earnings. I'm just getting started and like to keep track over similar statistics.
Very good idea. But I don't. I have not been posting, commenting, and voting much lately, I can guarentee that you're not getting followers that way. I maybe got 50 followers in 2 weeks, compared to when I am active I got 50 followers in two days.
Mange tak @aresnal49 for some good advice!
This was really really helpful. I'm a new user, so I have been constantly looking for ways to grow my following. I decided to just jump myself right into it. A lot of people are giving me this same advice when asking them, so I'll take it as a sign. Thank you for your post!
Let have a try and start with this post ;-)
Thank you arsenal49 for this post :). It's clear and doesn't look hard to do but rather fun :).
You're welcome. I am wondering how people still find this guide :)
I found it through google search :)
Awesome! Never thought of that! What did you search for?
Well, I am a newbie on steemit, and want to create content in two directions English lessons because I teach English 👩🏼🏫, and yoga practice because I practice yoga ♀️. So I was looking for the information how to get more followers to my posts 😊
Cool! I am glad I could help! :)
How about a follow AND an upvote :D
Oh my lord! Thank you! :) I just saw you made 70 $ on one of your first post. Congrats man! :)
Yeah.....I was shocked. Thanks!
Great overview of your journey. Mine is similar.
There are some headline Steemit posts that have made a fortune, the highest I can find is 46k but the reality for most users is that it can take a long time to build up a following, and get some sort of regular payouts. Most payouts to start can be tiny.
My advice for new users is to stick with it. You will grow and develop as a writer. For a initial boost do a great introduction post. Sometimes these get nice payouts.
Yes. That's very true. 46k is insane! Wow! But if this keeps going at this rate we will all be able to make a fortune in some years. I already did an introduction post, but it wasn't that good and I don't feel like doing another just to earn some money. I write about stuff that I care about and interest me :) That way I like my time on Steemit :)
Well I just got approved today and decided to take your advise. Thank you. Looking forward to learning my way around.
Welcome then! If you already start now by engaging with people you can achieve what I did in just two weeks. No doubt!
