I just started my blog a month ago and I only have one follower, well three, but the other two are my sisters. At first, I only cared about follower numbers. I have become a follower of lots of blogs and commented on many of those, but my numbers have not gone up. it could be like you said, maybe I'm just not entertaining, but then I realized a few weeks ago that I don't actually care about my follower #'s all that much, because the brilliant information and advice I have obtained through blogs, like yours, has drastically made up for my original intention behind getting a blog - to get fans, so that if, and hopefully when, I publish a book, they'll go buy it. Now what I have is me, being the fan, and my virtual comments floating out there, waiting for someone to reply or add me. In the end, I have gained great advice about and from literary agents, authors, readers, and other humans, but not because they followed me, just because their blog is great and caters to a whole variety of people.Jonathon Arntsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366218140886892757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004461851315310562.post-46178338664059065822010-01-12T10:27:08.135-05:002010-01-12T10:27:08.135-05:00My goal was 40 followers, but then I realized that...My goal was 40 followers, but then I realized that was kind of dumb.

But I also know that writers are the busiest and they have to focus, therefore I do not expect reciprocation. In fact most of the times I do not leave any comment because I feel like a party crasher.<br /><br />The blogworld is a potential research material for writers but it does take a lot of time to find one's interest, same like finding a book. In my case, not because of lack of good books but because of my chasing mind.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399300464457820101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004461851315310562.post-76999544747101114992010-01-11T21:25:29.647-05:002010-01-11T21:25:29.647-05:00I was just thinking today that it's about time...I was just thinking today that it's about time I made an effort to get some followers. <br />So far, I have pretty much not cared, but now I suddenly...do.Lily Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17732112345439595471noreply@blogger.com
