Wow, it's nice to see your fan club explode! Congratulations on just the beginning of your humble empire, and thanks for the honorable mention. Just no makeup lines when you become famous, please!

Keep doing exactly what you're doing because it's working. It's all real and all genuine. It's obvious that you're always seeking ways to improve and putting in the hard work to see it through. Success can't help but keep coming your way as a leader in time here.

I feel like I just signed our Steemit high school yearbook since we sort of came up in the same class. I was the jock and class clown, and you were the prom queen and most likely to succeed.

Well done!

My advice to Steemians (not entering in the contest), is to experiment in different niches until you find the ones that make you happy every time you make a contribution. People will catch on to your passion and enthusiasm this way, and start looking for your material, instead of you hoping they find it. Always be networking and giving to others. Do not expect anything. Comment around to earn your followers and see the reward for this hard work when your blog posts get more traction. It takes time. It can take several months. See the end goal you want and put legitimate effort in on a consistent basis to achieve it.
