If (he,she,it) came to me and asked, I would tell him he could make more money over time by supporting some others and participating in the community. Make a fewer posts and use some of those upvotes to encourage other Authors who produce content that he is interested in.
If he or she isn't interested in content they could sell votes or rent or lease voting power to help other accounts build their base and the "Steem Holder" (rancho and Haejin) could still earn plenty of money and likely over a longer time frame.
