Pretty slick to try and get some eyes on a super mario photo. But I get the metaphor but hey, I think if you just gather a certain group of people you are familiar with. Then it would make all the difference for you because just relying on connections that's on steemit wouldn't be enough. This is why it was considered to be molded for Influence-rs who already had a fan base outside of the platform. Not that people couldn't start up strong here on the norm but it would essentially be like running up a hill in that aspect unless you are constantly active.
That's false about mario photo. That's great work and if you check my blog theme u will understund.
