I see you've been flagged a couple of times. I wonder why?

Yeah man. It's so annoying. It was @Noisy who decided to flag all my content without any warning. My comments were looking a bit spammy at some stage, so he just came in and flagged and down voted all my stuff. He took away like $20 from my biggest post..

Plus, I did exactly what he asked me to do, fixed all my mistakes, and he hasn't been online ever since. It's so wrong.

It is a lesson, at least a 20$, which can bring you hundred fold back the money. He muted you perhaps. You don't want him to unmute and check again ;)
He does a good job teaching valuable lessons. Nuked some accounts, so you are lucky that yiu have rep of 39. @steemcleaners will check also this, for sure. If you do it again there is no come back.

I was ironic before, as I said I wonder why. I will focus after I finish this challenge into some minnow grow projects. At the moment I take some time each day and write some piece of advice for minnows, where I feel the drive, but where it is badly applied.

For you I have the following:
-on 1st approach never, ever use the follow me, never(I see your account, no need to shout it again)
-interact and bring value with the one you are trying to gain attention
-if what you say is interesting, people will follow you automatically

If you stick to this you will have maybe not thousands of followers, but hundreds of valuable ones.

Hope this helps you

I have 39 rep because I have made it all back. @Noisy dropped it by 8. So I should be at 47. Thanks for your tips.

Does something like this look spammy to you? Start with value comment, then something like 'Let me know what you think of my posts. I am very interested to hear you opinion!'

Maybe if you do it in the 2nd or 3rd comment on that profile would be good. The 1st time is to pushy.

Cool bud, thanks for your input. I will take what you say into account! :)

I think it will help, at least I'm doing so. I have a list with all followers, which I check on a regular basis, if I find something interesting I follow. I usually ignore for 2 weeks requests for following. If the follower is still there, and changed his behavior, post good stuff, a follow is guaranteed.
