My strategy for growing is similar:

Be patient - it takes a while

Be persistent - don't quit!

Be prolific - publish as much as possible

Be engaged - read and respond

Be flexible - four posts a week might work for a while but then you might need to do something different

Be grateful - say thank you!

Yup! That's very well said. Of all those, patience and persistence are probably the most important.

Wow, Walter, you are prolific! Thanks for sharing what it takes to build a large audience. I'm impressed with your hand drawn schedule, too!

Thanks Lisa! Basically the red marks mean there is an article scheduled, and blue is for podcast. I rarely read the titles :)

I loved the tip about using voiceovers as a second podcast. Thanks, Walter. Publishing daily works in politics, but I doubt whether it works in personal development. Most readers don't want to see me in their inbox daily. I could be wrong about that, but maybe not. What will you do when you run out of your previously published articles? Will you be able to keep up publishing at the same pace.
