Great advice! I can attest much of these concepts is what got me lifted off the ground starting from nothing with no voting power of my own. I was writing great articles full of excellent tips, and now I attatch my "How to budget travel" ebook link to the end of each post, which continues to help others. Since then I can of ran out of new travel tips to share, but was able change my format around and still offer value in my everyday posts.

Starting from scratch was at first very challenging, but soon some bigger accounts started following and up-voting. If can ad anything else, is that I believe finding a niche and being consistent is a great strategy too. Frankly you @themarkymark have been a huge help to me and it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Keep up the great work! From Hua Hin Thailand! -Dan "World Travel Pro!"
