You're very welcome. Thank you for posting this. Really the best part of being a curator for Curie is seeing how getting the big upvote and added attention affects the person that got it.

Like you said though, the big vote will often land you on the trending page and in turn lead to more followers. So, now you have more of an audience, what now?

My suggestion is, just keep posting exceptional content. That term of course is wide open. It could be a great drawing, a photo, a great personal story, or even (and I hope to come across similar things in the future) a simple list explaining a TV show to those who might have never dove in to watch it. But it doesn't have to be the same thing, keep it fresh, and good, and people will continue to come.

Also, check out the tag #newbieresteemday . They are another group I am a part of that helps "Newbies", whether it be by resteeming a post or answering questions people might have.

Best of luck!
