Dear friend, thank you for the reply and please note that in Steemit we are not supposed to ask others for follows, or upvotes! Even if you upvote, or follow someone, you have to leave them with the freedom of choice whether to follow or not! All that you need to do is to continue to produce quality posts! I know it takes time to build a following, but quality posts and good replies eventually pays off! Blessings to you!
