Its a tough slog but will be worth it in the end. Ive been here since august and have managed to grow slowly.
It does take time and effort but to be honest i enjoy it way more than any other social media or online site that i have used.
The interaction and effort put in by the users is fantastic, so its great to see the rewards that are coming at the moment. When there are 1 million users on the site its going to be a lot more scarce so its worth trying to build now.
Unfortunatly while ive tried to talk many of my friends into joining and trying their hand at the experience only a couple have joined and have yet to really get involved.
I will keep at them though and they will eventually be hooked like i am.
