hi chris! having a lot of followers on steemit doesn't mean much actually. things which are important are consistency in making good posts, patience, and reputation (the little number next to your username), and connecting with people who are interested in the topics which you are writing about. also follow for follow isn't important or needed. since the more people you follow the easier it is to miss the posts of people who really interest you. just write for your self :)
