This week's question (submitted by Vicki at The Wolf's Den) is
"What are your feelings on losing followers? Have you ever stopped following a blog?"
My answers are: first, since I've only recently started blogging, I don't think I've lost a follower yet, but I'm sure the day will come. I'll wonder if I said something that offended the follower or if they were just trimming their list. If I lose a whole block of followers at once, I'll know something is wrong! As for the second question, I have stopped following blogs. Not very often, and usually it's because I've checked in several times over the course of a couple months and there have been no new posts.
hey there! I'm a new follower from the blog hop :) Can I just say how beautiful the cover of your book is?!
ReplyDeleteI think losing a few followers along the way is part of the process. I was upset the first time, but I learned that I'd rather have a few quality followers than a whole bunch who just don't give a darn :)
I'm always a little bummed when I lose followers but make every effort to
ReplyDeleteturn every lost follower into a learning experience so I can improve my
performance.
On the flip side, I only stop following people when they give me a reason to
such as being totally off message or being too controversial in an negative,
over-the-top way.
Happy Book Blogger Hop Friday!
