...it actually requires a lot of your time to become successful.
Unless one can figure out a way where networking and interaction doesnt take a lot of time.
That is one thing that I notice about the attacks on people who come on here with a big following. People say "it works for them because they have a big following so it is easy for them". This totally ignores the fact that individuals spent a ton of time, probably years, building up that big following.
This ecosystem is not going to explode over night nor does an individual account grow like that either. It all takes time and effort.
Yet the rewards are there if one puts both of those in...consistently.
