RE: Should We Care About The Number of Followers? How Are Followers Gained? Let's Discuss!
If you consider steemit as a social media platform than it is really important to have followers.
If you are here to make money the importance of your followers depends on the way you choose.
If you have a whale friend who regularly upvotes you than it's nice to have followers but their importance is neglectable.
If you would like to build a brand than yes, you definitely have to take care of your followers.
Until I just posted a few photos I had only Schemings. I turned this function off in Shadowbot because I met a lot of garbage in my feed. I had started a weekly contest with rewards in SBD and the organic followers arrived. And they are nice and some of them upvote my other posts too.
Quite agreed. It definitely matters what we want from the followers or, to say it more appropriately, what we want from Steemit. Our motivations decide our actions and our actions result in particular types of people. Nice suggestion their about contests. They do engage people. I have done a few so far.
