Thanks for your reply.

Before earning must come relationships. Larger accounts will not vote smaller ones unless a relationship is built first. You may receive a vote or two from a voting-initiative here and there, but to gain consistent votes from real users you will need to engage with them, as you have done with me.

I suggest to simply be yourself, to engage (comment) with relevance and interest, and to add depth to your commenting, not just one comment then run.

I think you are on the right track. Make it about engagement and enjoyment and the money will come later.

All the best for the weekend.
