Basically without BSing you, this technique of building up a follower base was learned elsewhere, both my mr's and I are applying the same here.

That doesn't mean that it shall be a sure fire thing here, but then again if it has proven to be a good starting point elsewhere in the past, it could very well be the case here too.

PLUS, the Minnow factor that I truly do believe in, gives me a good stand point to use this method on Steemit.

I'm not in a position to recommend it to anyone, nor say "Don't" to anyone, I am learning the ropes here along with the majority and if I see that methods from other experiences are not working like they did for many there, I shall go ahead and change my approach.
