This is a resource post with resources that will help you grow in steemit when used properly.

Tools and tricks


1.Steem.Supply


Steam supply is the most awesome website to track your growth potential. It's a standalone website that tracks user stats and shows the weekly income you are going to receive.

2.eSteem


eSteem is a mobile app for steemit. It has been developed by @good-karma and currently has a curation trail added to all the users who use the app. You get around 1.54$ per comment/post if using the eSteem app.
NOTE: Not all comments give out rewards, due to anti-spam filters and safe guards so people don't abuse the app.


You can find the app here:

Android: Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netsolutions.esteem
iOS - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/esteem-mobile/id1141397898?mt=8


3.Catch a whale


If you are the kind of social stalker and would like to hunt whales, this is the perfect website for you. It shows whales on steemit and their activity. Upvotes comments and such.

Steam DB has everything you can need to check your stats, vote power, income, votes, flags.
You just need to type your account in the right corner and you will be greeted with enough info to keep you busy for hours.

Advice


This section from the article will contain only advice I've found very beneficial when roaming around in steemit


1. The most important thing on the whole platform. [Be Polite]


Remember that steemit is a blog platform where people come to share their life's, share they everyday experience and write about what they see interesting. Unless you want to attract a ton of flags and get rep destroyed, I'd recommend being polite.
Even if someone made 1000$ of sharing a picture of a potato, its still content. Have respect for other people. We are one big family and we need to support each other. Maybe if you are polite the 1000$ of the potato post can go to that person's SP and he might follow you and upvote you.


2.Read and comment


If you are going to comment spend a minute to read what that person had to say. I see a lot of people blasting random comments with absolutely no synergy what so ever. If you are using the eSteem app a quality comment will get you 1.5$ instantly without the author.


3. Resteem.


Resteeming is a good practice to do. You get rewards from it and there is one little thing that people ignore when it comes to resteeming. Once you resteem something the author gets a pop up above the post in his blog seeing who resteemed it.
Therefore he knows who supports him and gives back the same in return.


4. Follow wisely.


Follow people that support you in exchange for your support. Equal exchange goes a long way and is beneficial for everyone.
There is nothing better than constantly getting support from people that see that you are interested in what they do.
They invest in you because you invest in them. Giving you SP/SBD to grow and support each other even more.


5.Don't judge followers.


You might be asking yourself: Why do I have 600 followers but only get 25/30 upvotes per post?
Well people with low to nothing SP don't bother upvoting as they don't do anything. Don't worry once they have sufficient SP they will start voting to get more SP payouts as curation rewards.


What will never work.


These things are most likely to ruin your reputation and probably lower you to the point where you can't even publish posts because no one can see them.


1.Spam


Don't spam. Just don't. You will end up crashing and burning faster than a space ship falling from orbit.
People hate spam and posts with meaning equal to a toaster. Also, don't spam the eSteem app as you will get blacklisted.


2.Begging


This is one of the ugliest things to see here. Posts saying catch phrases to catch peoples attentions are disturbing.
Example: Good thing I decided to follow you! Afterward seeing that the person never did follow you.
This will just show people that you aren't a quality person looking to evolve and prosper as an individual on steemit.


3.Fake Follow


People, please don't turn this into Instagram. Adding 1k people in your follow list just to remove them 2 days after when they return the following. This gets you nowhere. At the end, you get a lot of followers that ignore your posts as they have 0 meaning.
Rather invest some time and see how to be good at writing and making a better post. People respect the content not only the quality.


4. Bombarding articles with 0 quality


It is better to invest an hour or two to post some quality stuff rather than spending an hour to post 200 articles that contain one picture or some ripped off stuff from the internet. You will make more from the quality post compared to all the shitty ones gathered all together.


If you would like to help people benefit from this, resteem and help the community evolve.

Excellent and extensive post to help minnows! Will resteem to help others. Thank-you.

Thanks cabage :) Why don't you write some articles too ?

Someone else asked me the very same question recently. It is funny, but I have to feel it in my heart to write. I seem to be trying to put positive comments on so many others posts and neglecting my own need to work on the blog. I've been very fortunate to have met so many wonderful, spiritual people on Steemit that I guess I am trying to ground myself right now. Once I find that inner connection, I promise to focus on my blog. Thank-you very much for asking. I really appreciate the question. Hope all is well with you. Again, thank-you! ......Cabbagepatch ;D

Thank you for taking the time to create this article. Always great to get insight and help for newcomers like myself 👏

No friend.. Thank you for taking the time to read what I wrote.. 😊

I got the app keen to see how it works 🙂

Thanks man! I love first website!

Thanks for your post @vangelov!

this post is incredibly valuable for a newcomer like me and I really appreciate the effort you put into it (:

I will try out some of the links you provided and give a short feedback.

Thank you. Very good resources. Worth a resteem.

Good points! 👍 Thanks for mention btw! Hope you are enjoying latest release of eSteem...

Thanks @good-karma.. You are amazing and the new update is awesome! It improved the handle time of the app and is running much more faster.
The app motivated me to reach where I am now at the moment so I owe most of my progress here on stream to you.
Hope I find a way to repay you in the future

Thank you, glad to hear that... You already doing that with great posts such as this and comments! Steem on brother! ;)

Question! Please help. Because of this blog I downloaded eSteem. I'm excited about it. But I can't get logged in. I am using my username and key. I've tried many times. Then i thought well maybe i need to sign up since it's a new app. I tried and it told me i already have an account. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? I would like to use the app. Thank you in advance for your help!

And @vangelov, thank you for the time you put in this article! I'm learning (or trying to, anyway! Lol)

The stew not app needs the master key yo ew account.
It is stored only on the device itself.. I'm presuming you mistyped a letter or symbol probably.
Give it another go I'm sure it will log in..
I've been using the app since I started here.

Thank you, I'll try again.

I finally got it. :) thanks!

Здравей, невероятна статия! А относно eSteem, какато ми даваше по нещичко, изведнъж спря, нещо като лимит ли има или съм го сгафил здравата?

SP то на ботовете се е смъкнало.
Дай му 2/3 часа макс и пак ще започне. Това се случва редовно.

Благодаря ти много!

That's the most beneficial post i've ever stumbled upon on how to use steem it so far!
I feel like you wrote it with me on mind !
It's addressing me directly !
Thank you for that, resteeming that!

Thank you for the post. I really learn from it. Its an eye opening post both to new and old steemians

Thank you :) happy to shed some light

Well written @vangelov. Didn't know about some of the websites.

Thanks :) will try to add some more info in next post.

Indeed a great article! Greetings, this is Stephen of The Papillon Foundation charity. I conform to most of your tips, except for the resteeming part, simply because I have to keep our charity page contents private. Here and there I might resteem something to do with charity and love, but our friends understand. I work on a PC and want to know if any of your mentioned apps can work on a PC? Please advise and thank you for the tips. Kind regards, Stephen

All of them work for PC.
But not quite sure about esteem. I think the pc ver is unsupported.
The rest are only websites. They don't require log in or passwords
And yes I do understand about the resteem in your condition. It is case sensitive

Thank you for the quick reply Sir! I have followed you (don't expect a follow in return), as I am not a con and will keep an eye out for your posts! Blessings. Stephen

Thanks friend :)
Returned the favor.

Very inciteful! Thank you for the tools!
