But how do I get Followers?

This is the question that haunts me whenever i tell someone about Steemit and start explaining to them that they need followers to get more Upvotes and Views

Every blogger in the World today, irrespective of race or gender desires one thing above all

They want someone to listen

It does not matter about the size of their blog, whether they have an Audience of 5 or 5000, a blogger is seeking an audience that will listen and engage with what they are saying

This need is greatly amplified here on Steemit because it is what brings the rewards every blogger on Steemit desires

I tell prospective Steemians that all they need is to find that first follower, then that one listener can become five and then ten and before they know it they will be writing their 100 followers milestone post

So how do You find that Willing listener

An engaged audience will happily come back to you even after you have sent them elsewhere with a " 10 Steemians You Should Follow " post like @stevec does or show them Hidden Jemslike @lpfaust does, because they already love what you are blogging about, but how do you get them in the first place

There Is No Set Path

There is no set path to achieve that engaged audience that every Steemian dreams of

There is no set of rules or principles, or 3-step process, What works for one blogger may not work for another

This means you have to put in the work and find out what works out best for you

You may find out that writing cathchy headlines work for you, another blogger may find out that putting a well designed banner at the end of every post does the trick

To get Followers and an Engaged Audience is something you have to figure out by yourself

Tips On How To Get Followers

These tips are what i have found out that has been helping me along the way

Write Wantable Content

Bloggers love the freedom to write whatever they Want, this is one of the reasons people love Steemit because there are not any form of censorship

Writing on anything is not bad, but when you are trying to attract and audience, it makes sense to create content thatis likely to attract an audience

In my early days in Steemit, i struggled to find out what works for me, I have written post that people have asked for and it was successful

I have also written post on what I wanted to write about and people still praised me for being original

With Content there are no set rules, the main thing is to ensure that your content is interesting and engaging

.

Engage With Others

I have had people follow me just because I left a thoughtful comment on their Post

Post engagement is something most people desire, but they always fail to give it to others

If you want to know more about post engagement, I wrote a Whole Post on it.

You also have to expand your reach and meet with other bloggers outside your niche, this will enable you get a variety of views on different subjects and help improve the quality of your posts

To Conclude

Like i said before there is no set path to getting followers, I can give you much more advice or recommend resources for you to get, but it ultimately wouldn't matter

You have to discover your own path

Your blog and Your audience are your own, and no one can tell you how best to grow them

Now go out there and find that audience
