Every week I revise the people that I follow, I might add people I might un add them the reason being is I do this full time. I want to be able to provide, quality content, curate as often as I can and most importantly network with people.

I revise who I follow to make sure that I am giving enough attention to the people I am closely working with, if I am not working with you I found its usually because of the following.

I am not seeing enough interaction from you.

I post every day on Steemit, being full time on the platform I cannot in anyway not post every day, thats not a good way to build up a freelance career, and work hard towards my future.

When I come to work I work.

So today when I went through my list of people, I noticed one person unfollowed me instantly.... clearly they have the infamous Ginabot gotta love Gina.
Of course it is that persons right to follow or unfollow any one as much as me, but I highly think that they saw I unfollowed them and chose to take the same path.

Don't do that...... you're not doing yourself any favours.

If you are going to regularly revise your list then of course, by all means but don't do the follow unfollow thing. This week 5 people unfollowed me, probably because I didn't interact with them, but its hard to try to interact with everyone. Just this week... this very week my posts have managed to gather a little more sbd than before and why??

Because I am being consistent.

I spend hours on the laptop reading and absorbing other peoples content, deciding whether its applicable to me, or its good for the platform. I equally spend hours in discord in chat rooms getting to know people, learning new things.
Not surprisingly the people that unfollowed me I went on the profiles and I am seeing not enough interaction and not enough content. Now I get that I truly do, some people spend three day to three weeks on one post, I cannot be one to judge. But you need to still be consistent, you need to keep engaging with other people on the platforms.
I unfollowed because I saw no recent posts no interaction, I was not networking with them, so I have to make room for those that want to interact with me.

I want to make a promise to you.

To all my followers, the people supporting and engaging with me, I promise to duly support an engage with you.
To the people I find on steemit that I have not yet met, I promise to interact with you and if you respond and we can build a good friendship the same promise goes to you too.

But to the people following me, who are not interacting with me. Remember you chose to follow me and my work, or you interacted with me and you stopped interacting. You chose to support me, but if you are not communicating with me I don't know what I can do so that we can help each other.

Which is why when I unfollow people and I see them unfollow me immediately just tells me you are not in this for the same reasons I am.
Follow for follow is pointless and tiresome, its about time we all got off this follow for follow carousel and actually did some work to better the platform.

I am very particular with whom I follow.

I want to leave this food for thought for today.
