I have over 1,000 followers, I really don't know how I got them, I do have over a year here. But anyway these followers are people whom I have never had contact with, they don't read my articles, they don't vote either up or down, so having a lot of followers is definitely not a sure way of being successful on Steemit. I guess my articles aren't too good, the most I have ever made was about $30.00, somehow 2 whales voted for that post. Overall I haven't made much, but I am conscious of my weakness as a writer so that does not surprise me.

That's so curious. And it must be very frustrating and confusing to not be getting the votes. Did you have a big upsurge this summer when a lot more people signed up for steemit? I have seen other users talk about the ups and downs of a lot of followers. It's good because a crowd attracts a crowd, and followers attract followers, but it's also all about the actively engaged followers. I have 198 followers, they've trickled in. I communicate with about four to five people consistently. I've been lucky enough to be visited by @curie a few times, so I've gotten a couple bigger payouts. I think the gaining of the type of followers we want (friend followers) just takes time and consistently trying to put up interesting posts. I post to please myself and my friends that I got signed up on here. If other people like it, that's fantastic, and what I want, but I'm not heartbroken otherwise. I find it hard to find people that I actually want to engage with, it takes so much time and sifting through awful posts. I'd be a horrible curator, lol. I'm always happy when a stumble upon a great post or someone leaves a thoughtful comment on my page. I'll check your page out.
