May you share your stats with me. For example, how much time you needed to reach 100, 500, 1000 followers? I see that you are roughly getting 4-5 followers per day and about 0.5 follower per post. With that in mind, I find my stats ok, right?

It's hard to compare, as there were only 50K users when I joined, and only a few thousand of them were active. Followers are much easier to come by now.

This is all about the long haul, so definitely worth investing the time, and re-investing the income.
