@pouchon, thanks for the support. I agree that it is hard work to build an audience.

I think that sometimes we forget that out Steemit blog is a type of service-based business. Our followers (or audience) are our clients. If we do not actively engage our clients and try to get new clients then we need to questions the reason why we started our business.

Not now all businesses need a lot of clients to be successful. But it is important to find the right clients or customers.
