If your a beautiful woman on here, you can get like 4000 in your first month, lol.
I think commenting on other posts that were interesting did help a bunch. But also tried what a lot on here do, and that is following lots and lots of people in hopes they add you too. Not sure if it really helps, it is harder for me to see the ones I want to in my feed now. More followers doesn't mean more money or reputation points, and it doesn't really make your content anymore visible it seems, especially when people are follow thousands at a time. It is all beta now, so hopefully these things change some how. But welcome aboard! lets see where this thing can take us! ...........and of course after saying all that about following........I'm now following you, hahaha
