πππFor what it is worth, it took me 6 months to get 100 followers here. And growth has been very slow and very organic. But i read a piece early on that said things start to shift when you have written 200 articles. I held that as my guiding principle. They should have said 200 good-ish articles. Spaced over time.
So I applaud your controllable goal. It is a good one. And it worked for me. It has taken me two and half years to get to where I am now and I promise you the perseverance is worth it. For the money (which is not insignificant these days) but more for the connections. ππ
