Congrats on the 68 reputation and 2400 followers! You're so right about engaging with people. It's one thing to say "thanks" or "I appreciate it", but to really read what they have to say and provide a thoughtful response, that provides more value than it's weight in gold. People don't remember the lazy people, they remember the people that were active, caring, and made them feel important. It's great to see your spreading this positive news and hopefully all of the other big fish take your advice :)

Ok, this was really thoughtful. You get a new follower from me for this. I hope your posts are as thoughtful as your comments.
Thank you! I try to be as thoughtful as I can with my comments. I hate when people just breeze through stuff. Right now I'm currently working on my 5th blog and it's very thoughtful. I've been working on it for over 4 days and am almost done. It'll help a lot of people out.
@aggroed followed you, and now I will too. Good work.
Maybe, but you're a minnow? Not many people will see it. You might want to hold off, make friends in the comments section, and only later release your masterpiece.
Got a glitch or hit wrong button.. sorry!
Thanks for the advice. I've been gaining a lot of followers in the past couple of days. Since I'm about to cross 100, I figure I'll start releasing more content so people can see what I have to offer, then get more consistent as that following increases.
Sure. I still think comments is faster to grab followers up until about 300 followers. Then it's faster through writing. There are transitions and inflection points as you grow.
Ah ok, I see what you mean. Ever since I started commenting, it's been blowing up. I was wondering when that starts to taper off and blogging is more proficient. That's excellent advice that I'll definitely take. It makes sense too, since when you have a big following, more people are likely to see it, then you have the advantage over single commenting
Yep. Weirdly, eventually even authoring doens't pay off enough and that's why a lot of whales stop and just curate. Funky little system.
Now THIS is something that just grabbed me. Thank you for the advice :)
