Follow me and I follow you will cost you money
The cost will be the amount that you won’t earn.
You will have magical results: getting your first 100 followers in 1 week, 1 month, 1 day (!) or even the followers queued up in a line and asked if they can follow you.
Well, it might happen with very low probability for most of us.
If you believe the follow me — follow you strategy, you will gather people, who will not read your articles.
Probably most of us tried it, used it, but it will not pay the coffee for us.
Start to hunt down your followers
Find in topics and publications writers and read their articles, clap hands, write comments, offer reading your relevant articles.
I never asked anyone to follow me.
We exchanged messages and ideas, and I collected relevant readers, who followed me by their own decision.
Follow me — Follow you vs Hunt you
I used the dirty way, followed 200 random people, and less than 20 followed me back.
I “hunt down” writers from the topics I write myself, and this is a win-win for all of us.
Invest time and effort to your pool of followers and they will read your stuff.
