At the beginning, I set my target to be 5 followers per day.
Now my pace is actually better, 404 in 55 days (a bit more than 7 per day)
Also, I set a target to get my reputation growing to 45 in the first month - achieved.
And to get a new fan every week - done.
I write about science (visit steemSTEM tag, at least 10 great posts every day)
and about cars (still very small and unused tag).
Just write about the things you like, with the passion and the result will come. Good luck!
