Thank you for this! I'm new too, but I've been reading up on the etiquette and just the general steemit how to or not to, and I must say that yes, I am frustrated that some of my posts are not doing well, but also it's made me realize that it has to do with who you follow. I have met a few really great people on here who are kind of guiding me along, and these are the ppl who are voting for me and supporting, not the random followers that are just following me for a follow. 

I'd rather do it properly and take my time than build fake followers and upvotes

You point out something important, @princessmewmew: Namely that it does matter who you follow. The other day, I came across the profile of someone who'd been on Steemit for four weeks and had 1100(!) followers and was following close to 2000 people. 

Wait... *WHAT?*

I've managed to *hand pick* 300 people to follow in the course of almost *five months.* Needless to say, even with 1100 "followers," this person's posts were mostly earning a couple of dollars. 

Which brings up another point... just because someone follows you, doesn't mean you're under ANY obligation to "follow back." Follow people who create content that actually *interests* you, in some way. Does the equation end up a little uneven? Sure... I have 2.6 *times* more people following me than I follow... but so what?
