Thanks Marike, I really appreciate it.
I learned early on that people weren't going to simply flock to me, I had to attract them through commenting on their posts, building relationships and then nurturing them. Then I had to have some posts for them to get excited, or at least interested in, when they came along to my post feed. Do that enough and good things start to happen. I hope someday that my hard work will pay off and my account will grow but for now I'm happy to take the reward in the form of fun engagements, meaningful interactions and solid friendships as payment.
As always, thanks for your nice words and thoughts.
You're right about having the decent content for people to engage with. WE assume that but you know what they say about Asses and You and Me. 😆
I can honestly say that I look forward to the weekend engagement post every week - it's a bit like walking into a friendly bar and having people move over to make room for me to sit down. As an isolated solo-mama-entrepreneur, there's simply not enough of that in my physical world. But I'm very happy to find it here on Hive. Thanks for building that virtual space. 😍 😘
I'm glad you like the weekend-engagement topic...I wanted to create a comfortable place for people to open up relationships and the smart people are doing that. It seems to be working well. I hope you'll like this weeks topic...It's a bit different although I think you'll like it. I'm really glad you come by each week.
Yes, on the decent content thing...I guess all we can do is apply those three elements I always go on about...Passion, personality and effort. Froom there we're in the hands of the reader/observer.
