It is impossible to answer this question, as there are many other parameters involved.

One easy answer is: if you buy Steem powers, you can get a "decent" amount immediately. But I guess your question was for somebody not buying.

To get more Steem power, it is important to have powerful followers that will upvote your quality posts.
To get powerful followers, you need to interact with them, so that they will be interested in you. Even better, if you can, you should help them to reach their own goals. "Give, and you will receive".

Also, their should be a common theme in most of your posts, so that people interested in the theme will come back to your blog and upvote your posts.

I see that your commitment to make at least 10 comments every day goes in the right direction.

Yep good stuff , vecelier. When you say "common theme" do you mean a particular subject or niche we should be discussing (that we have expertise on ) in our comments and posts? Or maybe a person's style of
writing ? Or maybe their general personality and opinions? Thanks. I am a Content producer for over 10 years now with a number of blogs. And just relatively new here and still trying to learn the ropes :)

Yes, a common subject.

Take for example @firepower.
If you look at his posts in the last 3 months, you can see 3 themes:

  • steemit.chat where he is an admin (founder or co-founder?) and organize the Steemit.Chat Contest.
  • Cryptos and social networks in India
  • Let's Talk series, which this post is part of.

Another example with @sweetsssj:

Two series of posts that have been going on for months:

  • Miss Delicious
  • Travel with me

Another series, that she seems to have abandoned:

  • Miss opinionated

That is what I mean by "common theme".

Couldn't have said it better myself. :)
