RE: How I Earned 300 Followers in 20 Days

in #steemit7 years ago

Well, I may have 300 followers, but I only get interaction from MAYBE 20, I think that's being generous also. Haha. But I really try hard to reply to every "real" comment I get! Because it's important to me that you guys know I'm here and available and appreciate you taking the time!

Thankfully, my internet is actually pretty alright! I only live about 10 minutes outside of a small town of around 2,000 people, but it's the middle of no where cause I have one visible neighbor, the rest are 3+ miles away. I live in the National Grasslands here in Central Oregon - so I look out back, and I see no humans! Wooooo!

Sort:  

Haha, I have to give you the props for being really in the middle of nowhere. I live in a small village in the Cambridgeshire countryside. There are about 50 houses in total so everyone knows everyone.
By Uk standards, this place is 'remote'. The nearest town is 9 miles away.
I hear what you say about the follower interaction. In my experience, it works out to between 5%, 10% or 20% of followers that interact consistently if you are lucky. Many people follow me and just like to read or watch my videos and find it difficult to write comments for a multitude of reasons.
I have followers that have been following me for almost a decade and the most they have ever said is. Hi. But they are still there watching and reading. That's fine by me. Not everyone is as verbose as me lol

Ha. Yeah, I wish I had the chance when I lived in Europe to visit your part of the world! Alas, I had other business. Hahah.

We can be verbose together!

We can be the loquacious twins. A bit of verbosity goes a very long way haha. Where were you in Europe? Nothing is really far away here. I travelled the USA on the Greyhound buses many years ago. New York to L.A. that was a trip.
I took a slow 7 weeks to get across but it was brilliant to stop off all over the place.

Hahaha I'll be honest, had to look up loquacious! Did not mean what I thought it might have meant! Haha

I lived in southern Germany for four years cause my husband was in the US Army. I tell ya, I miss it dearly!! My heart is left behind there for sure!

My sister in law lived in Berlin for four years and she loved it too. Her husband was in the Welsh Guards (Army) they had a lovely time there and she would go back tomorrow. It is an odd fact of geography but I'm on the same line of latitude as Berlin haha. The things that I think of?

Haha that's kind of cool actually. You'd never think that would be in the same line! I'm a plethora of useless knowledge, so I get it!

Haha I'll give you a plethora and raise you a multitude of random factoids lol
