That sounds like a balanced approach! I am really new here and have often wondered if these groups were legit. I like the organic approach to getting traction but a little boost at first cant hurt! To me, its more rewarding to build relationships and genuine connections to other steemians and get upvotes, comments, and resteems from THOSE interactions.
Oh yes, most definitely. Although in this case I'm not boosting it initially with a bot. The communities I'm in do help that going though.
