There are 4 ways to get visibility on steemit:
- At least be a Dolphin (~5000SP)
- Use upvote bots
- Use Resteem bots (My recommendations: @abasinkanga @resteemr @resteembot@larryphang)
- Make lots of thoughtful comments

Those are the only methods that are going to give you visibility AFAIK. Try to use upvote bots as soon as you post and wait for some time before using resteembots. 99.99% of the time you will loose money if you use a bidbot. So try [Minnowbooster](https://www.minnowbooster.com/vote-selling/?ref=31703) or [Smartsteem](https://smartsteem.com/?r=vimukthi) You won't loose money as long as STEEM price doesn't fall. You can also sell your votes  (I personally set it to use my votes only when VP is over 98% You can pick whatever you like. High 90s would be good because then you have strong votes for manual curation)

Try them all and decide what's best for you.
