I got a notification this morning that I reached 200 followers!
I opened WordPress and saw the notification, and this is pretty much verbatim my reaction.

You might be asking yourself, well, how did you celebrate? And if you are not asking yourself that question, no worries, because Iโm going to tell you anyway. Haha ๐
I was singing in the car againโฆ
I canโt tell; I think he is smiling. Yeahhhh heโs smilingโฆโฆ
If heโs not, Iโll photoshop a smile in there later!

After further review…nope, he is not smiling….๐ค
I can’t say enough how much I appreciate the support and encouragement thus far! It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know everyone in the community.
I have loved all of the interactions I’ve had with everyone!
If you are reading this and not a follower of mine, please feel free to read over my blog, follow, like, etc., and I’ll show the same respect!
Short and sweet!
Thanks for reading!
Travis
Congratulations!

Congratulations! I know that excitement. Here is different than say face book where everyone follows everyone, and life is simple. Here we work toward earning that following. We have to be worthy of that following. There has to be something others see in us that gives them that desire. I’m happy for your reaching this milestone and know it will grow quickly.

It is so true! I noticed that early on. On WP you have to work for every follow. The quality of content dictates so much. Thank you for the support and the kind words. I greatly appreciate it! ๐

Congrats on 200 followers! Any advice to someone just starting out with a writing blog?

Thank you! Well, you are off to a good start already by interacting with the community. You just gained a follower in me! Thatโs probably the most significant advice โinteract and read blogs. This is a very encouraging and supportive community. If you put aside time to read blogs, itโll come full circle, thus growing your following. Put together quality content and develop a steady/maintainable blog schedule. I try to blog daily; it is the quickest way to get more exposure. However, find a blog schedule that fits you, and itโll work out just fine.
Here is an excellent example of a wonderful and supportive blog by PHOEBEMD: MEDICINE + POETRY:
https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/27232798/posts/3180487676
It is literally put together to promote your blog and interact with the community. Enter your blog information in the comments section and peruse through the other comments, looking at blogs, and most importantly, interact and support. ๐ค
