Writers, I am Sure You Love To Have Followers

I am sure everyone wants followers

Are you lucky to have followers?

Who does not like followers?

Followers are those who love your work.

There can be organic followers, follow-for-followers, and forced followers.

🔷Following to get more followers

Each one has a different take on it. Some writers, bloggers, and influencers just follow to get more followers.

I looked at a person’s profile which stated that he had 4.1k followers. When I looked at his following I found 6.5k people that he was following.

Truly this person brags that he has a large number of followers but he cannot hide the fact that he just followed so many people only to get more followers.

Generally, people brag about the number of followers they have but never state how many they are following.

Writers I have seen on Medium that when you follow 5 people sometimes all 5 can also follow you back and sometimes only 2 will follow you.

There are many writers who tell me that they have more followers than me. This is because I do not care how many followers I have.

🔷🔷Request followers

I have followed some people on their requests when they have less than 100. They send me repeated requests and I follow them.

I do not see them ever again.

Are these called followers?

In my language ‘No’. they are not. Their purpose is met and after the 100 who knows when they unfollow me because they have never read me.

🔷🔷🔷Interactive followers- Online friends.

I read the stories of a person. The other person is interactive I follow him/her. I let my followers grow organically.

The interactive followers are the best. They are organic. They enjoy your articles and you like theirs and you comment and respond to their comments.

These are your online friends.

You share a bond with them. You miss them when you do not hear from them.

These according to me are the best followers.

🔷🔷🔷🔷New writers and followers

Sometimes, new people comment on your post and you do not follow them back immediately.

It takes a while before you begin to notice that the person is commenting on your articles and does want you to at least notice them.

No offense meant you just don’t do it intentionally. Don’t give up after two or three comments the person will know for sure that you are reading and following them.

The takeaway

👉🏼Create a bond with your followers. Make it strong and be good friends as they are special to you.

👉🏼 If you request people to follow you go back and thank them when you complete your 100 followers and read some of their posts too.

👉🏼Try to have an organic following as this continues for the long term and is also desirable.

👉🏼Reading and writing are all about creating an audience as a writer would be unhappy if no one read their articles. A musician will not be able to perform if there were no listeners.

To wrap up

Followers are our audience. They are special to us. Make them feel special. Interact and create a bond and a long-term relationship. Let us grow together and mutually respect each other.

I am sure that you will agree with the quote:
