Very good question! I had the same concerns. I posted some of my best memory articles in the first days. Check out my latest Major System post with the 85 cover image. It is more effort than this post here. Much text and even entirely self-made images. I guess what you could do is to work towards your best articles. Post every day one or more articles that are valuable but don't give away everything. And then you bring out your best stuff in a month from now for example. By then you surely have gathered many hundreds more followers. And then concentrate on commenting for the rest of the time. Make a mix of greeting newcomers and search for all your hobbies and interests. Make sure you sort by date to find still running posts where you can earn. (Although I made my point clear about the timeless content, but it is what it is for now).
