Awesome! The advice in that section is pretty solid. All to often people tell others how to gain a massive following but neglect the importance of acquiring a QUALITY following. Gals it was helpful!

Hi, just reblogged your post on my own blog which I hope is ok. Just followed you on Instagram too from @twodoctors where we highly value a community who engage with us of around 150 recently culled from 450! Thank for following our blog too, will read your advice PDF this afternoon and come back. B.

Hi again, promised to come back …. so here goes! Although aimed at businesses your guidance also gives good advice for non business bloggers overall. Content is king, whether business blog or not!
Guest posting a great idea, if someone will host you, similar to collaborating.
Instagram stuff:
Fully identified with having a clear strategy. I don’t have one and post photos of travel, architecture, local history, mountaineering, colour splash …. and this contributes to gaining and losing followers at a heck of a rate. But I just haven’t found my niche yet as a fun blogger.
Endorse timing of posts fully, for me it’s 8am uk time with most followers in Europe and Asia
Hashtags …. yes with a balance between descriptive tags and gallery/hub tags. I’ve tended to overdose the gallery tags recently meaning I get overloaded with all their posts.
Engage with followers… absolutely! I recently built to 450 followers in a couple of months but found that only 150 engaged at all with “likes”, around 50 were regular “commenters” and 20 or so engaged in direct messaging. So, I removed 300 of them keeping only the best 150, and made my account private. The upshot of this is that most of that 150 engage regularly and I don’t have to wade through masses of selfie crap before reaching the good ones. I get 2-3 requests a day to follow me and select only those with a clear affinity.
George, hope this isn’t too condescending but enjoyed the whole article, still cogitation on the SEO bit! You inspired me to write my own article on personal travel apps posting later today ….. you might like to reblog it or collaborate 😂😂😂
