Very true. It is always a stepping up process.
Try to appeal to those accounts just slightly larger than yours and move up. There will be a lot more of them than Whales, and they can help carry you up especially as those accounts get larger and more powerful.

Yeah, attention from larger accounts is basically a shortcut to personal growth, but it would be impossible for the few whales we have on LeoFinance to curate everyone with 100% votes, so that would be like fishing for real..
A better approach would obviously be to go for smaller fish, in an attempt to score upvotes of any size, as those votes will add up eventually.

The power of numbers. Few seem to really internalize it.
While the vote amount might be small, there are hundreds as compared to a handful. Plus, a closer bond establishes between those growing together.
There was a time my hive account was teeny. There are people who I interact with today who were with me at minnow level. Today, we are all orcas.
Over the past 3+ years, we grew together.

This is so true, and it also makes things fun.
I've made a bunch of friends over the years and even though the majority of us never grew into orcas, (and literally everyone I ever brought to Steem gave up), I'm still here.
With LeoFinance, engagement came back in the way I've always wanted, so it's like giving me (us) a second chance of being part of something cool again. A chance I'm definitely going to take.
