I just achieved 800+ followers and a reputation of (60).
Last night, I was pondering what I should do for this milestone. When I woke up this morning, I came to the realization that chasing after whales is a pipedream.
What should I do?
I found inspiration from @senseicat. I too need to focus on my followers, so I have decided to follow everyone who follows me. It is going to take some time to go through my following list and change everyone to followed, so please be patient.
Here is why I believe that I should follow everyone that is following me:
We are in this effort together. As Steemit grows, so do my peers. Since Steemit is still new and everyone here are early adopters, my followers today will become very powerful Steemit users in the future. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow those who felt compelled to follow me.
Following a few whales only leaves me a feed of resteems of content that have no interest and much of the content from the whales is well.... to put it politely, not really for me. The real contentment for me is from people that are working hard to build themselves up.
No better way to connect with my audience that to follow my audience. Steemit is really special that I can develop a close relationship with my audience by following and commenting/responding. It is important to stay in touch and acknowledge each other's ideas, beliefs, and perspectives in this diverse space.

Congratulations @socky for reaching 800 devoted followers and I am lucky to be one of them!

We are in this together. Steemit is like YouTube or Facebook back when it was new. We will be on top of this mountain, but together is how we will get there.

It has been 4 months for me. The key is to blog everyday. Make sure to find other blogs to comment on every day too. It seems like the number of followers is proportional to the number of posts. So more posts, more followers. That simple. That has been my experience and what I have seen with others. Hope that advice helps.

Congrats mate for touching this milestone!Its indeed hard!
I'm going to slightly disagree with you in following back everybody..Out of your 800 followers how many of them do you think are active users?I don't think the number may exceed 40 or 50..And also,following everyone will not make much difference as we cannot manage them all..That's why I prefer to follow only active and good content creators.

I whish there was a button that I can hit to follow everyone. I have to do it manually and the system will only let me do a couple at a time. Then wait until it loads to select follow again. It is slow.... Be patient, I will follow everyone that is following me!
