For anyone new to this platform. You're full of energy, and you're ready to start pumping out posts.
Do this instead. Make one great introductory post, and carefully choose you want to follow. Look for people who reply to their comments, and will lead an upvote for those who put in the effort. Stay loyal, and respond to all their posts, when you have something useful to add. Build a good relationship with as many followers as possible. Once you get enough followers, some of them will return the favor and resteem your next post.
I started out making several random posts, without gaining traction. Spend a few weeks to get to know people before you make your next post. Make sure to read other peoples posts, and add a unique perspective on the content of their posts.
