Why I am writing this post:
An alliance member of mineUpvote Comments on your Blogs
One thing that I have learned is that it is easier to keep follwers who are already interested in your content than it is to find new followers. This being said, you need to do everything possible to keep people who are already reading your blog coming back.If someone comments on your blog (a real comment not follow me and I will follow you) that means they actually took the time to read your blog and were interested in your content.
A few things that this means.
1) They may like your future blogs. Lets be honest, a lot of our content is written in a similar style and about similar topics. If they enjoyed one, then they may enjoy more!
2) You may like their content. If they liked your post, then they may have similar interests as your. This is great news because you may have found some new content that you will enjoy.
So why dont you do everything that you can to keep this person coming back?
Show them some love!
Always, always reply to comments on your blogs. Let them know that you do care that they read it and took the time to comment. During the great purge of my "Following" list, one of the main reason I stopped following some people was the fact that they never took the time to reply to my comments on their blogs. These are the same people that wouldn't ever take the time to wonder over to my page either....And Finally make sure that you UPVOTE good comments. Especially from return users.
Lets be honest, the great thing about Steem is that you can pay users for doing things that you like. When you are still a minoow, a 2 cent upvote to someones blog may go noticed. That same 2 cents on a comment will definitely be noticed as it may be the only upvote it receives.
Now that I have my slider, I do my best to try and upvote around 10 cents for a find that my rate of return users has definitely increased.
So make sure you reward the readers and not just the posters and you will see results in your Followers list!
