Thank you for the follow and kind words.
I believe your proposed plan is perfect. Curating and commenting is much more effective early on than trying to post a lot of content no one will see. You really have to gain a bit of a following before you put a lot of effort into your own blog. Of course if there is nothing in your blog, then there is nothing to follow.
It is a balance.
Blessings!
You are right, I have spent some time on a post here and there and the trade-off is not even at equilibrium yet so I will rather work on followers and gaining favour, and continue to learn how to create better content. But yes if there is nothing in your blog, then there is nothing to follow
