The journey to becoming a successful steemian and a whale is an interesting but definitely a challenging one as well, but steemit never stays the same, what makes it more encouraging is the load of tools and apps created by some talented programmers of this steemit community. __Just below I will share with you the top tools minnows can use to grow their steemit account.__

These apps makes it easy for steemians to connect, interact and build relationship with other steemians outside the steemit community. Contest and other steemit activities are also hosted there. ![8Zu5dKugvSwF_Nj9SBO30n3jKFmn5fIqTWejq7GQpr4.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaLirDz1gdFqcmw5Jufw2MBJHBC4vZEBgJzQyKq9hbcF2/8Zu5dKugvSwF_Nj9SBO30n3jKFmn5fIqTWejq7GQpr4.png)

You can join different channels that could boost your steemit account growth. One of the channels I found useful for minnows and newbies on discord is the Peace, Abundance, Liberty channel by @aggroed. They are really working hand-hand to help minnows. You can join the channel using this invite link [here](https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw)

Rep 25 is the default reputation for all steemians so all whales and successful steemians you see, all started from REP 25. This tool was created by no other person than @blueorgy.

I use [Steem Supply](http://www.steem.supply/) everyday to calculate my payout and also see if I have a new pending. [Steem Supply](http://www.steem.supply/) shows your current account value, payout rewards and other few updates about your account. It also shows the conversion rate of SBD to Steem. Also vote him as a witness if you liked the tool.

There are a lot of whales you can look up to, here are some that I followed and have helped me; @acidyo, @aggroed, @firepower, @surpassinggoogle and so much more. I tried searching my name several times but nothing's found, lol I guess am no where near a whale, I knew that before😁😄😉. #### So that's it, Thank you guys for reading, I hope you liked it and I hope it helps. ![v4Qr59I.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcHzMoojoJVdsNHzqzVPNBBFcYEMLSoeg1pwxih5nYGCF/v4Qr59I.gif)
