Please don't say sorry @lynncoyle1 I myself cannot regularly check on those I follow here because there's just a lot going on, and include the fact that our upvotes per day is limited.

Thanks for the encouragement and that's a good perspective of Steemit as a business. Realistically, most business would even take years before you earn. I am also glad I saw your post about the use of upvote bots. It's a great affirmation to the strategy that I have chosen. :)
