7 Steps You Should Follow To Increase Your Reputation Score.

I'm @Usen001 , I don't like to call myself a perfectionist, but I always find myself studying and planning ahead before doing anything important, this allows me to take advantage of all available opportunities.

Steem is such a big opportunity that no one wants to miss, specially me. I want to use the Steem network in the best possible way, that's why I'm writing these guidelines to improve my Steem experience.II - Reputation! Reputation! Reputation!
For me this is the most important number that I want to increase, not my account balance, at least for now. Accounts with high reputation are perceived to have high quality content, so some users don't even read articles posted by low reputation accounts, on the other hand, some up-vote posts from high reputation accounts without even reading the content.

So by having a high reputation account, you are increasing the chance of your posts being noticed more quickly and more probable to get up-voted.

III - How To Increase Your Reputation?
There is no easy way around this, you have to work really hard to achieve your reputation goal. The reputation score depends on the up-votes you get in both your posts and comments, so these are the two areas where you have to invest time and mind power to increase your reputation score.

This is my plan, not a perfect one, but it's the plan that I think will work for me.[1] - I will only post high quality content.
Building a high reputation is like building trust with your readers, you don't get it for free, you've to earn it. So by only posting articles that are high quality you will build a trust between you and your up-voters who will up-vote your next article too.[2] - I will aim to post 1-2 posts everyday.
quality is more important than quantity, so investing time in one post is better than wasting hours in a lot of posts.

[3] - I will post comments more frequently.
You should aim for comments that add value, otherwise, there is no need to post them. Comments are actually an under-appreciated way of increasing your reputation. By creating comments on popular posts, you are increasing your chance of people following you if they see value in your comments.

[4] - I will reply to users commenting on my posts.
This will create a connection between me and my readers, which will increase the chance of them following me.

[5] - I will be consistent and persistent about applying the above rules.
If your posts are consistent, people will look for your posts everyday to read and up-vote them.

[6] - I will take my time when it comes to choosing the right title.
Avoid all kind of misleading and click-bait titles, readers can flag your posts and they will do so if you don't respect them. Getting flagged will destroy your reputation, and it will be harder for you to recover

[7] - I will learn to be more patient.
Don't get frustrated because your posts didn't get the up-votes they deserve. Users don't know who you are yet, so don't expect from them to invest their time or their Steem power on some random user. This shouldn't come as a shock to you, as I said earlier, at this stage, you shouldn't care about how much money you are making but rather focus on increasing your reputation score.
