My own strategy is:

• post multiple times a week but not too often
• write in depth posts rather than many short posts as it seemed to be better received
• get more followers and keep them
• be involved in Steemit by commenting and curating other’s posts and comments and also participate in chat rooms (Discord)
• helping others out where I can
• getting my work recognised by curation groups such as @curie
• join local teams such as #teamaustralia
