#### A lot of new Steemit users fail to grow in the whole platform of Steemit. Posts are worth just around cents, having less followers, few views, though some had put much effort in writing their articles in quality.
#
#### It has been taught on various Steemit posts that the best way to grow in Steemit is creating quality contents, using creative markdown techniques, and engaging in community talks. 

## Definitely true.

#
But a new mechanism has evolved to babysit our beloved minnows. Discord channels are on top of that, because it offers a variety of help to minnows. With over 2000 plus members, PAL (***Peace, Abundance, and Liberty***) discord channel is the hottest among others.
