The prime directive for 3Ders, besides making The Choice, is to accumulate experience of other selves. Rand got plenty of that in Russia first, then in the U.S. So she might have bent over backwards urging people away from collectivism as a service to them, and didn't intend to be of STS at all. I just don't know enough details about her life.
She definitely was a persuasive fiction writer, and I don't know whether/how she gathered followers of her ideas on selfism. Her popularity as a writer could very well have given her a following. Even now you will hear someone recommend her books.
