Reaching 1000 followers

Giving thanks to my fellow steemians reaching 1000+ followers

" What a journey it has been
and the end is not insight
but he stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way "

First I want to give special THANKS to those stars who guided me in my journey.

From my very first day here,to Hive account@cejero021, Who introduced this flatform and help me to share my ideas and talent, who gave strategies and infos of do's and dont's on how to excel in steemit.

To others like Hive account@rosava, Hive account@hyandel Hive account@daniyal1 Hive account@noime,they are the one whom I remember that support my blogs, even i dont post a blog every day, many thanks to you even I dont know you personally.
And of course my favorite bot, Hive account@banjo the bot, hahaha. He is a clever, supporting and funny bot.

To Hive account@surpassinggoogle who shares ideas,helps and guide minnows like me to achieve better outcome in the future.
Also to Hive account@minnowsupport and Hive account@upvoteph, thank you so much.

Anyways... HOW I've reached thousand of followers?

Hmmm. Actually I dont exactly know how to achieve many followers. ^____ haha.so sorry

Maybe, I think the answers are:

I always paste/post my link to different steemit groups like on discord and facebook.
Commenting and liking their links
upvoting their content IF it has quality,if it is informative or if I found it somewhat interesting.
Making quality posts from the bottom of my heart

But wait.. its not "follow for follow", or begging for someone to follow you.. I realized that it does not make sense if they follow you because you beg.

I also have a question my dear, "does the quantity of the followers significant?"

I got over 1000 followers and lucky to have 30 votes?
Im just getting maximum of 20-30 votes on my post(with a help of a bot) haha.
Or its likely to have 500 followers or less but truly supporting you, engaging your Steemit relationship and sees your quality.

hmmm...
