TODAY’S QUOTE :
” Successful blogging is not about one time hits. It’s about building a loyal following over time. ” — David Aston
MY THOUGHTS:
I like to think that I don’t have “followers” but that I am part of a community. The bloggers and readers who interact with me have become friends over time. They understand my views and ideas better than some of my ‘real life’ friends. So I agree with David Aston that blogging is not about one time hits.
What do you think? I would love to know.

I agree with you. The community is the important part to me as well. More so than being a one hit wonder.

Blogging and reading blogs is a social activity. Far more social than any social media. I dont necessarily view followers as a community. I view the readers who take the time to comment and like my posts as the real community.

I agree, although there are people who used to comment who only now do so once in a while — and I get it. Their lives have changed. Mine has too. I try to comment more, but then I don’t have time to do anything else and suddenly, I have to decide if I have half a day or or maybe I should work on those photos or write something — and I get so tired just thinking about it, I wind up reading a book and trying to forget the whole thing. It isn’t always easy staying in touch especially when everyone is so far away. Much as I love my online friends, sometimes, I could really REALLY use a hug!

I agree. I am blessed with more than 1500 followers but there are only a dozen or so people with whom I interact regularly. Those are the ones I value.

It is better to not take note of followers or even likes, but the friends you can make along your writing journey.

So true. Its the friends you make that are important, not the stats.
