Love your illustrations XD
I tried experimenting with posting times, didn't appear to be any rhyme or reason behind why some posts did better than others but for that to be a valid experiment I would have had to post the same or similar posts at various times and that would just be annoying for everyone, so I just post whenever I post now :)
Getting involved with people/communities of similar interest definitely helps. And you get to meet fun people too XD
Easiest thing is definitely not having an instant gratification mindset, that's an almost guarantee of a fail I think. If you just plod along well everyone eventually gets enough SP to be a whale, it will just be very slow :)
i love that fkn goat you have haha
