When finally I got approved 5 days ago and I started reading various posts my instinctive reaction was: "Yeah I see how it works. The more people follow you, the more upvotes you get = more money." I even made my first post after couple of hours and got maybe 1 or 2 views. +0.01$. I thought I wouldn't post anything untill I get at least 100 followers. So when I finally got them I soon found out that it makes ABSOLUTELY no difference how many people follow you. It's ALL about quality content and ever since I managed to make a few posts that were worth around 3$. I think I am starting to getting this, slowly. Great post man! :)
