How to Easily Get New Blog Followers Immediately in 2022

Are you interested in getting new blog followers?

I thought so.

blog followersThey say “Necessity is the Mother of Invention.” 

In the year that I’ve been blogging, I notice bloggers falling into two groups–the haves and the have nots.  In my opinion, bloggers seem to have a lot of blog followers or they don’t.

I read a blog post recently called “Follow for Follow” (It appeared on the Harsh Reality blog.)  Opinionated Man, the writer of the blog,  seems to have tens of thousands of followers.  He has been called a “Power-blogger”.  To my disappointment, when he asked if they would “follow back,” the hundreds of comments OM got added up to “no”, not the answer I wanted to hear.  I’d be grateful for the “follow back”.  I’ve run across several bloggers that I know would be too.

Therefore, I am starting this page for bloggers, newcomers or otherwise, that would like to get more followers. 

All you have to do is click “Comment” and leave your link.  So that you don’t have to keep checking back, click “Notify Me of New Comments,” so that you will know when new people post their links here.

However, there is a stipulation.  We are all on the honor system.  If someone follows you as a result of leaving a link to your blog here, please follow them back. 

My next disclaimer: I am not responsible if people break their word to you and don’t follow you back.  I am trying to help new bloggers.  Please don’t get mad at me.  Simply unsubscribe from their blog. 

How long should you wait?  That’s up to you. I heard a rumor that if someone doesn’t follow you back in three days on Twitter, it is safe to say they are not going to.

I would like this Follow to Follow Directory to be my way of thanking my blog followers.  Please follow my blog and add your link to a comment box, and I will have it on this Master List by the weekend. If I forgot any links, please let me know!  Thank you!

      Hi again Mary, Are you familiar with the Lynky called We Are That Family? I frequently get traffic from their site, but their Linky seems closed. Do they have it daily? Weekly? I hate to waste time repeatedly checking back, but as I said I am still getting traffic from them! Do you know? Does Carol? Thanks.

      Hi Mary,
      I had a thought. What if we each brought five bloggers struggling to find readership to this page? We would each increase our traffic tremendously. Do you know any new bloggers? Please send them this link. http://mycurrentnewsblog.com/how-to-get-new-blog-followers/ Thanks. I am very excited about this idea. I hope you are too.
      By the way, thanks for all the support you give me. I know are trying to help me gain readership on Pinterest and Twitter. I do appreciate it.

      Hi Melodi,
      Welcome! I subscribed to your blog, but it says I subscribed using RSS feed; I hope that’s correct.
      May I ask how you found me? Since I’m new, I’m still trying to figure out how I’m getting traffic. Thanks for following my blog and joining us on this page! There are some great people here already.

        Hi,
        I went to Melodi’s site to try and remember how I subscribed yesterday. She has two links. If you click the link she said to click, you have to make a choice how you want to get her blog like RSS feed. That’s what I picked. If you click the link in the parentheses, you just type in her Email address where it instructs. However, I’m aware that’s not what she told us to do.
        I don’t know if this helps. I did tell her we were confused.

    My blog it is more of an inspirational type of blog, to paste smiles on readers’ faces. There is too much negativity and I feel it is a beautiful thing to know that not all of us with bring others down. Thank you Janice for this. It is wonderful and a great way to learn tips from other bloggers.

        Weren’t you the featured blogger on the Facebook blogging group the other day? I can’t even imagine how much traffic you must have got. Did you get a lot of “follows” from it that day? How did they choose you to be the featured blogger? I would love to be the featured blogger!

        Janice,

        I can’t find a reply button to your comment, but I think I was featured 3 times last month. The last one did generate a lot of page views and comments. The first time not much at all. I believe she chooses from founding and premium members of the website, but I could be totally wrong. I joined at the premium rate just as an experiment. I had my first ever 20,000 page view month and didn’t write the required 30 posts due to family life.Does that help at all?

        I really like the feedback and diversity of the group.

        Carrie

    For those of you having a hard time subscribing to someones blog don’t feel bad. There are many blog vehicles (WordPress and Blogger for example) and each one handles subscriptions differently. Throw in the fact that each blogger can customize how subscribers and comments are handled. Then remember that 3rd party plugins are available to further muddy the water. There are usually ways to subscribe the way the blogger intended unless the blogger left that part out. The ones I have seen so far I have been able to subscribe to, though I’m not TOTALLY sure if the target blog can see it.

    The good news that even if you can’t figure out how to subscribe the way the blogger wants us to, we can still subscribe to the blog using our native blog software (the one that you blog on) or you can use a 3rd party system like Feedly.(this is what I use even if the target blog has another way of doing it, I just do both) The problem is that though you are subscribed to a blog without using their method the person you are following has no idea unless you tell them. I guess this is where the honor system Janice talked about comes in.

    These problems will probably always exist because it is not a unified system like Facebook. On the bright side it does give us many options we would not otherwise have is it was a closed system. I hope I didn’t further confuse it. I hope Janice reads over it good before she lets it through.

      Hi Gary,
      Thank you so much for trying to explain the discrepancies to all of us. I did not consider the variations in how we receive blogs. However, the “honor” system works for me! I hope it does for everyone else too!

    This ‘exercise’ has confirmed something that is one of the rules of blogging. I wrote a post this month on 6 ways to turn a blogger off which is where I met Janice and so glad I did, as I am thoroughly enjoying her posts. My point is, if we want to have people follow our blogs than we need to make it easy. It should not take more than a minute to accomplish. If I, or any reader, has to spend five minutes or more trying to figure out how to accomplish that, they will probably not return. Your reader should not have to jump through hoops to follow you. Also, another good rule of thumb is to be sure your SHARE and your FOLLOW buttons for all your social media connections is obvious and easy to click. Of course, this only applies if you want followers 🙂 Just sayin’

      Thank you Carol. As you and I discussed recently, the “follow” button is hard to find on mine. I am meeting with a woman Tuesday who may be able to help me with that. We will see. I don’t think my template supports widgets on the side and I already have “follow” I think on the top and bottom. I’ll let you know.

      Aha! I see so many bloggers complaining about lack of visitors (Notice they don’t talk about commenters, just visitors) and then you go to their blog and what happens?

      1. You have to enter captchas. Why? Someone want’s to have a conversation with you and what you say is “Here fill out the form and submit it and we’ll get our intake department to process it. You’ll hear from us in 2-3 business days”. I mean the reader is already there, money in hand and you turn away a buyer, if I’m allowed to mix metaphors.
      2. You can’t use your blog handle but are forced to use Google+,or Disqus or some other format. I want to have a conversation and would like to use my already existing id. Why force me to register for Google+ and Disqus or whatever JUST to leave you a comment? You’re not that great!
      3. You finally manage to leave a comment. A week later they have not responded in anyway to your comment. I’ll comment a couple of times and if I find that all you want to do is complain but not react to the visitors who actually did comment, I won’t be back.

      Also: people want visitors, but don’t talk about commenters. I want to have conversations, mutual back and forth, exchanges.

      I actually started a similar thing on my blog called The Little Red Blog…. pun fully intended.

        Hi,
        1.Ouch! I have been so great about responding. Three days go by, an anomaly for me, I promise, and you call me on it. Oh no. Another chance perhaps? My tag line says an analytical exchange of ideas is EXACTLY what I want. I use to have those types of dialogues with my daughters. When they went off to college, I thought, hey, there’s lots of people out there I could connect with through blogging. I could make excuses why I didn’t respond sooner, but they are irrelevant. Try me again. Other bloggers, I can’t speak for.
        I agree with your comments. The difference in blogging platforms, specifically WordPress vs. Blogger makes it more difficult.
        I liked your comment about the Republicans. Once again, thank you for writing. I hope you’ll overlook (if not forgive) my delay, and write again.

          I wasn’t calling you out, because at the time I wrote it I didn’t know you were going to over the threshhold. 🙂

          No, I have seen many bloggers who NEVER go back to check comments on their blog and then complain no on reads them. I called one guy on it and he admitted he never went back to check….

          Call me crazy and old-fashioned, but, really, that does not make sense.

          A lot of bloggers are really just advertising plaftorms, low on content, high on ads. Some write quite well about products, some are little more than the people you see on street corners dressed in chicken suits, or sandwich boards. I don’t call them bloggers, they are billboards.

            I agree, it doesn’t make sense. Thanks again for writing.

          • Janice Wald

            Hi,
            I wanted you to know two things.
            1. I am following you back via WordPress.
            2. I linked the blog you sent me to StumbleUpon. I hope it gets you some traffic.

          • Janice Wald

            PS My reaction to the blog you sent was that I agreed with it. I was actually glad to read it since it agreed with my hope for the future of our country.
            Also, I have also had your experience. I comment on blogs and people don’t respond to me. I don’t get it either.

          • Janice Wald

            How nice of you. You are a true loyal follower.

          • TheLastWord

            Sorry – I had my 30th anniversary ( post on my blog) plus it was the weekend I go home on Friday and then fly back to work on Monday. Also since this is my last 2 weeks here in Saskatoon, things have gotten a little busy tying up all the loose balls of wool…

            Long winded excuse / reason for not getting back to you. I don’t know too many bloggers who need readers. It seems almost everyone I know I has more readers than I do. I notice that this one post of yours already has close to 190 comments. The most I’ve ever got on a post is around 23 or so….. Clearly, my blog is A Little Red Blog 🙂

            I tend not to go into the blind follow game, preferring instead to find bloggers I can interact with, as we seem to be doing here. In fact, some of the bloggers I follow seem to be clogging up my reader with daily posts…. that level of frequency is beyond my comprehension. There’s at least one who has 3-4 posts each day! Mind boggling – I’ll have to cut him loose, I’m afraid.

            I would like to visit some of the other bloggers who have commented on your post and see which ones I can follow. By the end of next week I should have some free time again, before I go away in Jan for 3 weeks.

  17. Precious Chiduku

    Ok… thank you very much for being patient with me. Janice, please check to see if am following you. I think I am now reflecting in your subscribers. And everyone else please give me some feedback if I am following you. I really do want to 😀

        Hi Precious,
        Great news! Yes, you are on my list of blog followers. Thank you for the follow and your patience, once again.
        When I clicked “follow”, it said it went to your RSS feed. Is that the norm? Garry?

    • Garry Rackley

      Janice, when you follow by RSS feed are you able to see that person as a subscriber to your blog? Just wondering.

      Reply to this message
      • Janice Wald

        I don’t know. (Sorry Garry, I’m still new and not tech savvy.) Precious IS on my subscriber list now. It does not give me the option to follow her back, so I assume she knows I’m following her. However, next to other people’s names, “Follow” is checked off if I’m following them or it says “+Follow” next to the names of my followers I’m not following back. Next to Precious’s name it doesn’t say anything.
        Happy Saturday

        Janice we may want to try this: There are 2 major blogs, WordPress and Blogger (Blogspot in address). If you are on WordPress and the person you want to follow is on WordPress subscribe by WordPress. If you are on Blogger and the person you are trying to follow is on Blogger, choose the google+ method (there is more than one unfortunately) If it is a cross follow (WordPress to Blogspot or vice versa) subscribe by email. I’m not sure that will make a difference but it is worth a try. This was a great idea Janice. There are some very good blogs on this page!

However, can you please explain, simply, for me, (I am so not tech. savvy) how I follow people on Blogger? It was one reason I switched to WordPress. Some Blogger users only have Netvibes, My Yahoo, or Atom. Other users have Yahoo, Google, Bloglines. Which do I pick? Thanks,

      Hi Carrie,
      I had a thought. What if we each brought five bloggers struggling to find readership to this page? We would each increase our traffic tremendously. Do you know any new bloggers? Please send them this link. http://mycurrentnewsblog.com/how-to-get-new-blog-followers/ Thanks. I am very excited about this idea. I hope you are too.
      By the way, I’d written you asking for increasing traffic ideas other than buying a premium membership at Ultra Blog, but I put it on someone else’s comment.
      I’d be grateful for other ideas to try. Thank you

I went to your blog, and I was given two choices, follow by WordPress or Follow by Email. I clicked Follow by WordPress. Is that the same? Garry? At any rate, I believe I followed you back.

    You can’t expect to have followers if you don’t offer a way to get followers. Plain and simple. An easy fix that works for all platforms is bloglovin. Join bloglovin.com connect your blog to it (once connected, your posts automatically post there). And place their button on your sidebar or somewhere easy to find. Hope this makes sense.

    Reply to this message
    • Carol Graham

      Personally I don’t like bloglovin (even though I have it) You have to look for each individual post you want to read. I love following by email because they come directly to my inbox individually and I can choose what to read and when. I agree wholeheartedly with you knottymarie and this has been a good lesson to be sure our blogs are easy to follow with follow buttons evident

        Hi Carol,
        I never told you what play we were seeing did I? If I did forgive me. We saw “Kinky Boots.” It was amazing. Have you heard of it? I thought of blogging about it but my husband doesn’t want me to start doing too many reviews, and I just reviewed “Gone Girl.” Something about not getting pigeon holed as one “type.” Great play. It won the Tony for best musical.

        Reply to this message
  31. Garry Rackley

    I think that is a good alternative but correct me if I’m wrong, that helps on your side but if the other person doesn’t have bloglovin then they don’t “see” that you have subscribed. Am I misunderstanding that part?

    Reply to this message
  32. knottymarie

    bloglovin does send you a notification when you have new followers. AND, you are able to see who those followers are from the bloglovin website as well. I just know that I had plenty of non-bloggers complain when they tried to ‘follow’ my blog via google because they had trouble signing in to google. Bloglovin was an easy remedy,

  36. Garry Rackley

    Carol….this is the part that throws people off. When you click and get that html code do a control a (copy all)……then go to your blogger dashboard and to the left under reading list is add. Click add. That will add that blog to your list. Boom! Every time you open your blogger program there are all the blogs you added in that manner. It will update from now on every time a new post is added. You can read it there or click on it and go to the entire blog.

    By the way this applies to WordPress also but I don’t have it so I can’t describe how to do it.

        I share posts anywhere and everywhere I can find. I don’t know which one pays the biggest bang. I’m not to that point yet. I just know the more I share, especially places like #ultrablog that require members not only to visit but to COMMENT, the more my numbers go up.

          Hi Carrie,
          I go to #ultrablog daily too, but that only guarantees two views, yes? The two above my link? Do you know any active Linky groups? The ones I try and link to daily seem hit and miss.
          Thanks for answering my question.

          Reply to this message
  38. Carol Graham

    I had the same problem as you Carrie. That is why I have posted my blog address here two times. I think some people were clicking on the battered hope link instead of going to my blog. The battered hope link takes you to a Word press website that someone else set up for me and I never use. That is why I did not see those of you who followed me there — it was not my actual blog.

    Also, is there a way for people to leave comments here and on other similar websites without having to fill in your name and particular each and every time. At Blogger you do not have to do this and it is so much easier. Or is there no way around it?

    You want to keep it at the top of the page so if you don’t see a way to pin it there you could edit your original post and say something like Update 12-16-14: blah

    Blah
    Then next month you could just change the date and add the additions. Just an idea.

    Thank you for making the list Janice. I went through the whole thing again to be sure I was following everyone. Four of the bloggers do not have follow buttons. Also, for those of you who only have a Follow me at Bloglovin button — rarely will that get you followers. I will click on the button but you have to scroll through so many blogs to find the ones you want to read. The follow by email is so much better — then I can see instantly your post title in my inbox and decide immediately if I want to read it.

        Thanks! I followed you back. Look forward to hearing more. I think some future blog posts will be about trying to be fit and lose some weight while still incapacitated with a fractured elbow, fractured spine. I can’t swim with my elbow in its current state so walking is the only thing I can do. Look forward to reading more on your pages especially on fitness and diet. I also take medication that can (and I think has) made weight gain more likely so any delicious dishes which are low in fat, sugar and high in vitamins and nutrients most welcome! Cheers for now.

    Hey! This is such an lovely idea! I really love how everyone is sticking together in the community.
    It is hard when you start and dreams and ideas can feel rather dashed when you feel like your blog isn’t getting a lot of exposure.

    I’m really greatful you invited me to read this. Thank you! Please add me to the list!

    Janice, it is very generous of you to organize this bloggers list. May I add 2 blogs to it?

    alaMuze – http://alamuze.com/

    Aware & Fair – http://awareandfair.com/

    Now, I’m going straight to the top of the page to follow everyone.

    Thank you – and happy blogging to everybody!

      Hi,
      1. Thank you for the compliment.
      2. I added your blog
      3. We didn’t get traffic from my guest blog yesterday. Did you promote it on social media?

      Hi Smiley,
      1. I added you to the Follow to Follow list. Start following people; they will follow back. Everyone should follow you. If not, write them here and let them know you followed them and would appreciate a follow back. We are in our fourth month and haven’t had any problems. You will meet nice people.
      2. Thank you so much for your support of my writing. Your clicking the “like” button does a lot for my morale as well as my page views, LOL. Social sharing adds to the credibility of my writing. I wanted you to know how grateful I am .

    Hi Janice, First of all thank you for creating such a helpful source for people. What a kind, thoughtful gesture. I am a tad concerned, though, with this stipulation that we should “follow everyone that follows us”…..I am very much a newbie to this “blogging world”, but find myself a little overwhelmed “following and commenting” on everyone who chooses to follow me, especially when I don’t really have an interest in their particular post. People take time to create their blogs and I sooooo get that and appreciate that, but have very limited time in my day to follow “everyone’s posting on their bog” (I’ve discovered some bloggers will post 2 to 4 times/day! It’s mind boggling to me!) At the same time, I want to honor people by leaving a thougtful comment on their post to let them know that I sincerely, truly appreciated what they had to say and to me you really can’t do that when your numbers are so high. (That is not one of my issues, currently.) So my sincere question to you: Do you/we really want the followers (in numbers) when we’re really, sincerely not “attracted to what that particular blogger has to say”? I guess if people are trying to “earn a living by blogging” the numbers help, yes? But what other purpose does it serve us to have “the numbers” without the sincere “following and interest”? Anyway, I am sincerely NOT trying to “shoot down” what you’re doing here or otherwise invalidate your purpose here; it’s an innocent, sincere question from an (old) very confused newbie who is a tad confused. Thanks! 🙂

      Hi Lucie,
      I agree with your comments. You should follow anyone whose blog seems interesting to you. Not everyone follows everyone. However, you will get out of the Follow to Follow list what you put in. You will only get the amount of followers that you follow.

      Lucy all we are basically doing is putting the blogs on our reading list. In my case I scan my read list every other day or so. If I find something interesting I read it. If I really like it I share it. What I have discovered is that while it may be 6 months (or never) before I actually read one of the posts I followed….what matters to the author is that I am more likely to stumble across your blog if it is on my read list. Following a blog in no ways means that I endorse it or even like it……But I might :). Plus the people behind the blog shares a common interest with you and I regardless of the content. Have a great day!!

        You are so kind to respond to me, “GigaRack”. I’m still not comfortable with this “follow, even though I may not be interested in your content” kind of “follow”…..guess I’m kind of “old school”, but it seems kind of disingenuine to me. I do so sincerely appreciate your kindly taking the time to respond, though. Maybe as I acquire a certain “blog knowledge/maturity”, I’ll understand this concept of “following, but not really following” more. In the meantime, thank you very much for your kind input. Lucie 🙂

          Hi Lucie,
          If you don’t mind my putting in my two cents once again…
          I recently interviewed 19 blogging experts. While they disagreed with each other, the overwhelming majority of them agreed that “networking” with other bloggers is the answer to successful blogging. Please read the interview since they explain why networking is so very important to blogging success. I got you the link http://wp.me/p5jxvv-sM
          That’s what we do here. We network.

    Janice, I am seriously loving your blog. My friend and fellow blogger Cindi have been joking that we’re like the geeky, retainer-wearing friends that write each other’s names in on the homecoming court ballot with our shameless “shares”.

    Good to know that there’s a whole community of bloggers helping each other. Please add my blog to your list.

    Well this is a fun find, Janice! Glad I found you reblogged on Elle Knowles blog – which, of course, supports your network theory! My primary blog is on Marriage and Divorce. Improving our marriages to avoid divorce, but doing divorce better if the unfortunate occurs – from “The Divorce Lawyer Who Doesn’t Like Divorce.” At: http://www.shelharrington.com

    On another note, and speaking of networking, have you considered any group Pinterest boards to broaden your reach there?

    Reply to this message
    • Janice Wald

      Hi Shel! I would love to join group boards. Do you have any you could invite me to? Here is my Pinterest handle:
      https://www.pinterest.com/janicewald/
      So far, I’ve been a little stymied by Pinterest. I feel my images get increasingly pinnable, but I’ve been disappointed by my lack of traffic from there. I know women who get almost half their traffic from Pinterest! Please invite me. I appreciate the support, so much.

      As far as your professional experience with divorce: Do you read my About Me page? I am actually a contributing writer for Divorced Moms. I actually have not pursued writing for them. The reason is as follows: If they publish my writing, and I get followers from there, they’ll be disappointed I fear, that I primarily give blogging advice. I have many posts on relationships, including marital, but it’s the exception not the rule. What do you think?
      Please invite me to your group boards on Pinterest if you have any, and thank you for thinking of me.
      Janice
      PS Welcome to my site. I hope we can interact again. Elle did me quite a favor by reblogging me. Many people have come over from her site since the reblog.

        The only group boards I have (besides those I share with my sister for our 2 Good Sisters Pinterest site (we attached it to our own boards in hopes of some growth, but without separate FB friends, it seems hard to grow on Pinterest) are groups of Family Law lawyers and counselors for Divorce Resources and Kids in Divorce. I’m part of one for Blogging Posts and a Marriage Resource group, but I didn’t start them so I don’t control who gets invited. But it’s super easy to start your own group. If you have an existing board that you would want others to pin on, you simply go to edit and add them to the invite list. You should be following each other (on at least one board) and the invite will go to the email they used to set up the account with. They have to accept the email, then the board will appear on their own site and they can pin to it. You will be able to delete pins you don’t want there, but the pinners you invite will only be able to edit or delete their own contributions. You might want to start one for people to put their favorite posts, or posts on a given topic, or best blogging tips, or anything else of interest. Here’s my site in case you want to invite me to anything! https://www.pinterest.com/shelharrington/

        With regard to writing for Divorce Moms, you should be ALL over that. You don’t HAVE to put in the blog in your bio if it’s not relevant to the audience, or you can put you blog about blogging and relationships. You should have categories on your blog so that people can go look at the topics they are interested in. But if you are interested in writing more, don’t let such opportunities pass because each one gives you additional writing creds (credits AND credibility!). I’m not familiar with that publication – is it paper or online? It sounds like something I’d be interested in contributing to!

        You have my email address – please feel free to email me if you have follow-up on any of the our topics we’ve covered!

          Hi!
          It’s no problem at all. I have received many invitations and actually am a member of about 9 group Pinterest boards. Perhaps once I continue to grow my following which currently stands at about 564, and I fix the pin link problem, I’ll get more traffic from there.
          As I wrote you in the Email I sent you, you’ve become a friend in the last week. Thanks for looking out for me!

            Hi Shel,
            Since you write about relationships, and I have a relationship board, I tried to invite you so pin to my board. It seemed to want your Email instead of your Pinterest handle. That would be fun to share a Pinterest board. Let me know if you don’t get the invite and I’ll try again using your Gmail address.
            Janice

      • Shel Harrington

        I just went to your pin site and clicked on a relationship article. It didn’t take me to that post. It took me to a roster of blogging articles. You have to pin while you are in the post (the post is in the URL line) or your pin goes to your site instead of the specific post.

        Thank you. Doris did most of them. We had our book at proof stage when she had to pull out so it is hanging in limbo

          That is a shame. I would say my compliments to the illustrator, but she left.

        Thanks. Doris did a lot of them. Our kids book was printed – proof copy. Then she pulled out so the book is hanging in mid air

      Hi Asil,
      1. I added your blog to my Follow to Follow Directory. Welcome
      2. I wanted to bring you links of previous posts I’ve written. Following the tips might help you have confidence in your blog. However, I don’t know why you think it “sucks”. Can you list the reasons, and then I can bring you links of posts that would tell you how to correct those perceived weaknesses? Thanks,
      Janice

      Hi Sandy,
      I added you to our Follow to Follow Directory. Welcome! Did you see I am also holding a Meet and Greet? I called it Blogger Meet and Greet 5 published June 19. Someone just went there today, so people are still networking. I would get you the link but Internet is a little hard on a cruise ship. Should be easy to find at my site. Nice to meet you.

    I don’t think anyone will get mad or be angry over such a good article. There are thousands of blog they don’t get ‘neither comment or follow’ so you need to pay back kindly when someone follows or comments on your blog.

      Hi Sherrie. Sorry. Busy week. I will add you ASAP.
      In the meantime, go network. Let them know you met them at my site & follow them if you are interested. If three days pass, and they don’t reciprocate, write them and say you would appreciate their follow. If they still don’t follow you, unfollowed them. Janice

    Hi, J. Thank you so much for your blog and for visiting mine (from one teacher and pop culture junkie to another as well). Yours has been quite interesting and invaluable for those of us relatively new to this sort of thing (well, I just haven’t been as active as I could’ve been). I’ve definitely “followed” via email, and I look forward to reading the collective blogs listed here.

      Hi Keisha,
      It was exciting to meet you today. I owe Danny Ray a “thank you”. I would love to add you to the Follow to Follow Directory. Since it was meant to be a perk for my followers, I took the liberty of adding you to the MostlyBlogging subscriber list. If that is okay, please validate your subscription in your Email, and I will add you to the directory. Thank you so much for your interest.

    I love this idea…I need followers and I will go through the above list and follow at least 10. Then I will follow all future followers to my blog. That should give me some good follow karma, right?

    • Janice Wald

      Hi Anna,
      I am sorry I didn’t respond sooner (I never take more than two days to respond), but I was a little confused by these comments.
      1. Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you like the idea of my Follow to Follow Directory.
      2. Since the directory was to be a perk for my followers, and you expressed interest, I took the liberty of adding your Email (which came through with your comment) to the Subscribe box on the home page of the blog. If you’d like to be added to the Follow to Follow Directory, simply activate your subscription in your Email. Thank you.
      I look forward to future interactions.

    I’d love to join the Pinterest group and follow-to-follow! I have what might be a dumb question, though. How can I tell if someone from this list follows my blog? If we’re talking about email follows, I can’t tell whether an email follower has a blog. I also might not be able to tell if a social media follower is on this list. Thanks and I apologize if this is a stupid question!

    • Janice Wald

      How to tell if someone follows your blog?
      Well, let’s say you follow me, MostlyBlogging. Then, you get a new follower. It tells you the blog name of your new follower, so you would know if it was MostlyBlogging that followed you back or not.
      No such thing as a dumb question. I promise. I am a teacher. Never!
      The Follow to Follow Directory is for people to get their blogs followed, so the Email follower wouldn’t sign up for the Follow to Follow Directory.
      As far as social media, that isn’t connected to this Follow to Follow Directory. This is for blog followers.
      I hope I clarified. I will send you the invitations right now.

          Hi Beth,
          I checked out your site. Yes, this does have to do with Email. People want to grow their Email lists. If you put your Email into their “Email address” box (widget?), they will put their Email into yours within three days; otherwise, unfollow. It is a way to grow your Email list. I’m sorry I was initially confused by your question.
