Thanks Ted. Good luck. I saw a newb snag 300 followers in a week just commenting. It took me months authoring. Trying to save my followers some headaches.

yep I figured that out - now I am just commenting, upvoting, and resteeming and hitting my favorites with bonuses from bots like @randowhale and @treeplanter. Going to do that for a while and start doing my own posts later on when I have more followers and Steem-weight, it is frusterating to do great posts and get literally nothing and completely ignored. It's a strange environment, but I think I see the path. Take care
I completely understand the frustration as I'm a relatively new author myself. I would add that we've really got to take the time to make friends in "higher" places up the Steemit chain than where we are since all it takes is a dolphin or whale's vote to shoot up a post into major recognition. I do respect that Steemit is trying to create a system where blatant spam is penalized quickly though, like when someone comments on a whale's post with "OMG I love you Follow ME NOW for great deals on blah blah xyz!!!" You've gotta be real with people and treat people in a genuine way, and Steemit has built a great environment for that. I've met several really interesting people here, and I discover cool things we have in common all the time. Steem on!
