I've had 392 Followers for a LONG time, and I truly appreciate every single one, from the moment they decided they liked my little blog, right on up to the present. I've lost a couple here and there, but that's okay, too....especially since I haven't been blogging regularly for a LONG time, either.
Remember the excitement each new follower brought? I do. I miss that, and since I'm getting back into blogging again, I hope more people will somehow find me. Can you help me? I've been thinking of some kind of give-away to have (it won't be for my memoir, unless someone specifically asks for it. And only because some people may be tired of hearing about it!) Any ideas?? I'm thinking that everyone likes gift cards! I could offer a gift card (to just about anywhere) to anyone who sends the most friends my way, or something like that.
What are your thoughts? ...And yes, I know the number of followers isn't really important, but it's like the number of reviews I've received on Amazon....S L O W!

Wishing everyone a beautiful, blissful day wherever you are and whatever kind of weather you're having. We're having HOT and HUMID....but hey, it's summer and that's how it's supposed to be around here!

* I just thought of something else. Remember when blogging was really popular, around 2009 and 2010? So many of us had Play Lists with tons of our favorite songs. I miss that! I don't think there's anything available like that anymore, is there? ....You know, that's free!

I was the only one." - C.S. Lewis
I've had the same number of followers for years.I write for essentially the same audience, we visit the same poetry blogs and exchange comments. Still, I know what you mean about getting new followers, it feels good. Not sure I'd get people to follow you, but I could write a little blurb about you, and your book. Sorry, I haven't already done that.
ReplyDeleteFollowers are a lovely affirmation. Those who regularly interact become good friends too. Which is lovely. Warmth and wonder.
ReplyDeleteHaving a gift card or other prize give away is a good idea. Getting reviews for our books is slow, I agree.
