Great advice you are dishing out here! I'm not sure I will ever manage to reach a point that I can blog full time although that would be a nice goal to have my sights on in a rather distant future. I've been doing most of the things you mentioned and trying to interact with as many as I can but also study, go out and work 2 jobs at the moment so time is a scarce resource. There are only that many nights I am prepared to sleep for 5 hours. :D All the best to everyone out there that wants to grow as a content creator and develop an audience. Quality, consistency, original content, interacting with others and their content should go a long way towards that goal in the long run.
