After 17 months on Steemit I just reached 3000 followers. It took 10 months to get to 1000 and another 3 to 2000. All this is without ever asking people to follow me. I want it to be purely their choice based on what I do here.
You can see I comment a lot and I believe is the main way they find me. If your comments are interesting enough then people will check out your profile to see if you are worth following.
I want followers who engage with me. I know a lot of these are inactive or just hoping I'll follow them back, but I get plenty of feedback these days.
I follow a fair few myself, but I have to keep trimming that as there's just not enough time to read everything. I'll concentrate on those who share my main interests. Don't take it personally if I stop following you.
Will I get to 5000 in another year?
Steem on!
