TIPS TO BOOST YOUR FOLLOWING

Welcome to Blogtober Day Four!

I’ve been completely overwhelmed lately by the amount of comments and support I’ve had on my blog lately and I’d just like to say a quick thank you!

It really means a lot when people can see the amount of effort you put into your posts!

…

Anyway, on to the actual point of this post!

I decided to give everyone some of the tips I have managed to think of for building up a good following on your blog, twitter, Instagram etc…

Now, I definitely do not have loads of followers but I believe that the followers I do have are all so lovely and engaging. In my opinion, it’s much better to have a small but engaging following than a large and ‘ghost’ following.

Followers do not bother me at all, I love blogging and sharing my thoughts with other people so I am not the greatest of people to get advice from, but I’ll try my best!

So here goes…

…

1.     ENGAGE, ENGAGE, ENGAGE! I believe that if you don’t engage and support other bloggers by messaging them and commenting on their social media/blogs then people are a lot less likely to do it for you! You can’t expect people to leave you lovely comments all the time if you don’t do it for anyone else.

2.     Post interesting content and take unique photos! I’m not sure if my posts are very unique but I do try to be as unique as I possibly can (seen as there are thousands of bloggers out there!)

3.     Another tip is hosting giveaways every now and then. I’m not saying that you need to constantly give presents to people to keep them from following you, I’m just saying that a giveaway is a great way to give yourself a little boost and get recognised. Some people may not even know your blog exists, so by getting people to RT your giveaways can really widen your audience!

4.     Promote your posts! When you upload a new post, ensure you share it on your social media accounts! It is really hard to get people to subscribe to your mailing list (and get notified when you post) so the best way to get round this is to promote yourself! There’s not harm in this!

5.     Do a guest post! It’s a great way to get recognised. If a blogger is advertising for someone to be a guest on their blog then take them up on it! It would be a great way to get recognised as their followers will soon discover you!

…

Well, that’s all the tips I have to help boost your blog stats and engagement! But remember lovelies, blogging doesn’t have to be a competition. If you  enjoy blogging and love what you do then don’t worry that you don’t have a huge following!
