I like this! It's an easy read and has good tips. I think what people don't realize is it takes a while to start gaining momentum. I didn't have success immediately either. You also need to go out and comment other peoples stuff to gain a proper following.
Thanks. Yea that is the hope... it might just be a very slow start before you start gaining "steem" (ha no pun intended) ;)
Oh and you can give me a follow if you like @jrcornel :)
