Solid advice @clayboyn
You can tell when someone comments on your post when they haven't even reat it, it's a turn off to say the least. I think if you chase followers then you end up with the wrong ones, if any. Letting it happen organically has to be the best way, at least then the followers you do have are more likely to vote your content.
Nice post :{)
Engaging the one's that actually read your post helps too!
