Thank you for suggesting this! I will be having several posts dedicated to building an audience. That said, nothing is more effective than responding to comments in terms of building a long term following. If all my comment replies from everywhere were totalled over the last six years online, it would be a ridiculous number and I am excited that Steem is showing 3,000 comment replies already in the last six months. At that rate it is probably 30,000+ comments I have responded to in six years online!
