I would say seeing is believing, a good example would be @allasyummyfood who has 79,000 followers here on Steemit, which surpasses her 76,000 on youtube and her 16.9 thousand on Instagram. She is one of the most persistent and consistent bloggers on this platform. You can do the same, just be consistent, even if you only have time to write a short post. make it into a journal or the daily life of an athlete, use pics as well.
