This is what I am trying to figure out at the moment - how to change the slow trickle of followers into more. My most popular post received more than 150 upvotes because it was liked and resteemed by a whale. I gained approximately 12 followers from it.

I've since realised that I will absolutely also have to up my curating game whether I like it or not. Curating is the number one activity and most "profitable" aspect of this platform. Still useless if people don't see the resteem of my upvoted content.
