I've only been blogging for 8 months...and only have about 350 Followers TOTAL from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.....yet I trend upward every one of these 8 months, and will be hitting 10,000 this month. <br />I believe that with the zillions of emails we all already get from everyone else...most prefer to just go back and check your site at will. If you post weekly, people seem to come back and take a peek. My next goal is to it 30,000 views per month and I am excited for each person that comes back! I have a lot of plans for the blog and I find it fulfilling, but at the same time decided NOT to worry too much with stats.SDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06214797355695110595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622477097361465.post-9104181046205446142013-04-07T18:32:43.240-07:002013-04-07T18:32:43.240-07:00This is such an interesting post, Aimee, thank you...This is such an interesting post, Aimee, thank you for sharing. It's so hard to know where you stand when you have nothing to compare to. I have to look and see what my stats are - not as good as yours I don't think. I certainly have fewer blog followers - 460 - but they are wonderful and loyal and do visit and comment - I treasure each and every one. I am terrible at twitter - I don't really get it, and I'm very erratic in my tweeting. I've been on twitter just shy of a year and I have low 200s following.Susanna Leonard Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655630528649780363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622477097361465.post-9526446082535045272013-04-05T06:11:14.111-07:002013-04-05T06:11:14.111-07:00These stats are very interesting, thank you for sh...These stats are very interesting, thank you for sharing. It's also making me realize how very slow my blog's growth is. How did you get to such a strong start in 2011? I'd love to hear more about your outreach tactics to build your base of readers.

I've got a very modest following on my blog of just over 100 followers, and when I started the blog I know that I started it for me as a place to improve my writing rather than with a thought to building a platform. But more recently I started a wordpress blog for my academic writing since this has a very different purpose and tone to my personal blogger blog. I get next to no hits and have almost no followers on my wordpress blog and I didn't think that would bug me quite as much as it does. I post all my blogs, both personal and academic, to twitter and I can see the rise in post reads when I do this but like you I'm not getting a lot of blog followers from it. I think if people know that I'm going to update twitter/facebook when I post a blog they don't need to follow another way. I tend to do both, as I'm a bit of a social media obsessive and I'm worried I'll miss something.<br /><br />I'm trying to remind myself that it took a good year to build up my blogger following, and I just need to be patient with the wordpress blog. The best advice I've seen on getting a better following is to make it easy to do so with subscription info on the page, to interact with other bloggers/tweeters and to keep putting out good content.<br /><br />One thing I'm thinking about looking at is the mobile version of my blogs, and making them easy to view and quick to load on phones and tablets. kar_tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256993702885548804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622477097361465.post-75991295469125189412013-04-05T02:01:37.942-07:002013-04-05T02:01:37.942-07:00Such an interesting post, Aimee!

I actually keep my blog and my Twitter activity quite segregated: I rarely tweet about my blog. It means that at the end of the day, I don't have huge numbers of followers (400ish for the blog and 800ish on Twitter) but having both allows me to interact with different people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
