I disagree personally. I say write your ass off and accept that the minnows who follow you will give you tuppence but one day those minnows could be dolphins. Whether you wait to have followers or not isn't going to change your chances of catching a whale. A post is just a lotto ticket, it's got the same chance of winning no matter how many minnows follow you. (Plus whales don't often curate comments so they won't follow you until you've already made a few posts)
