I have learned that patience is key to growing a following (and making money) being eager can make you say and do things that just aren't you.
I post and blog for me, my thoughts, my ramblings, my honest comments. I want a historical record of whatever was in my brain so that my family, friends and I can look back on and either laugh or cry at. I think if you are a true person and you are true to yourself, the up votes and following will come.

Patience is a great virtue
Good luck
