Thanks for your reply.
Before earning must come relationships. Larger accounts will not vote smaller ones unless a relationship is built first. You may receive a vote or two from a voting-initiative here and there, but to gain consistent votes from real users you will need to engage with them, as you have done with me.
I suggest to simply be yourself, to engage (comment) with relevance and interest, and to add depth to your commenting, not just one comment then run.
I think you are on the right track. Make it about engagement and enjoyment and the money will come later.
All the best for the weekend.
Thank you for you advice.
The same to you dear.
