What I have
personally learned by following and reading different blogs, and following the
process is that in the beginning it can be very difficult to get some
followers. At that time it is very important to just believe in yourself and
not to give up. It will take months, for some it might take even years until it
hits. People and individuals with the same kind of interests will find you. Not
through a friend in common, but through a business partner à who has a friend à who is following an interesting
source à who
gives examples on products à which are marketing by à and used by à and who actually comment in an
interesting point of view why to choose this product.
See, to
find followers and customers you first have to believe in yourself and get
those few followers (probably your friends or acquaintances) who will share
your opinions and posts to their connections where all the fun starts.
But we live
in a world where a lot of us believes in what other people think and say, and
to get reliable for individuals they usually want to see the huge amount of
other people who likes your opinions and ways to think, the followers. This is
why, some very smart companies, has launched a way to get hundreds, thousands
or even tens of thousands of followers to like and follow your page. This will be possible by paying just a small
amount of money for the service, and suddenly you will have hundreds of
thousands of followers, and individuals who believe in you more. But is this
right and fair to do so?
There have
been so many different discussions about these topics lately on the Internet
and at different sites and apps. There are many opinions saying that you as a
blogger, “Instagrammer” or “Twitterer” shouldn’t worry too much about these
topics. But is this really reliable and worth it? Will people trust and believe
in you in the future?
Please feel
free to comment on what you think about how important it is to have the
followers and popularity. This time I got my inspiration from another,
interesting blogger named Ian Andersson Gray.
Really interesting blog post! I have thought the same things some times when companies or people buy their way to get followers. And I thinks that yes with money you can have things, but is that really a right thing for "real" followers. Its a tricky question and honestly I can't say is it right or wrong. I liked your example of the journey how people actually find someone from the social media/ or your company.
