Hello @alexthemagician. It's nice to see this post in my feed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)
I have 170 followers so far. I am slow at growing my audience because I am off line a lot of the time and have little time to interact. That's always a bad news for social media. :/
Out of 170 people who follow me, I only see few names regularly upvoting my posts. Even less people comment. It can be a little disheartening sometimes.
The way I see this, I am doing what I want to do with my blog. If I get audience, great. If I do not, my though luck. :D I still want to be here and support this platform.
Even if I only make 0.20 for each post, I still get more out of it than of Facebook or twitter. Besides when people do interact with me they seem much nicer, more intelligent and interesting than average FB user. It seems it's a win even when you are just a minnow with little following.
Good luck with it! I hope you get genuine and interested followers soon. :)
Thank you so much :) I agree with you that even with 0.20 or even just a penny, it beats Facebook any day. I have also met quite a few steemians who like you mentioned are really very different from an average Facebook user. Best wishes and every success to you too :)
