Nice interview @jerrybanfield.
@lucyogo No no dont do that. Based on my observations, the most successful people on here have huge followership and that is because they engage those who seek interaction."
I saw some accounts who have over 1000 followers and this happened only in one or two months but still their posts make only pennies, so I will disagree with you taking that step. We should focus more on the quality of our content. Having thousand of followers doesn't mean that they all are interested in what you write. A few followers who really want to read your posts are better than the thousand of scraps who followed you on "F4F" rule.
It's easy to get carried away when you first join and notice the size of people's wallets but once you realize all of them joined last year and now there's thousands of people a day flocking on it's easy to see why things are much harder. Everyone is signing up now with the same hopes and dreams of making it rich. I do think Steemit will grow and grow and be around a long time so I'd rather just keep plugging away and contribute the best I can.
