I've always thought getting followers is very important. I have more than a hundred followers, yet only few of them read my contents.
Perhaps i haven't gotten to that stage yet (a target, a particular number of followers).
Followers are meant to read your posts, discuss and probably upvote your posts.
I try as much as possible to relate with those i'm following. I'm just wondering why those following me aren't doing the same.
Perhaps, There is something I'm not doing right.
I for one, thinks followers aren't that important. Though, I'm glad I have people following me.
