How do I get followers?

I think I could only answer for myself. I don't follow those who follow me right away or those who have liked my post or responded to it immediately. But I follow those that I have great interaction action with and it takes awhile for me to find out if the person's account is worth following or not.

Best way is to comment on other's posts. Those who are interested in what your write, will want to follow you. I have been here one month now, and I only have 28 followers. So I don't know if that is good or bad. But to me... It is more about interacting with the members, than just getting followers.

You could follow them first, and they would follow later.

What I do is comment on other's discussions. Most people will reciprocate by reading your discussion and commenting back. The more you interact with others, the more followers you will eventually have. Sometimes if you follow someone first, they will also follow you. But some people, like myself, will wait and see if you interact before following you. I hope this makes sense.

Follow and interact. Don't just like posts, comment/respond with meaningful responses and not something generic just to be saying something. I had a follower who always responded the same to everyone ("have a lovely day") no matter what the post was. Don't do that.

all of the above. well, it depends on you. but i think it does not sum up to having more to read your discussions if you have more or few followers; as long as you interact, you will have many to check on your discussions

With active participation in mylot and sharing interesting topics will magnetize followers.

I think its kind of all of the above. What about what interests you. Read and comment on posts that interest you. Follow people that interest you. And the same will happen in return. If you comment on a post that interest you and they visit you you have a similar post that interests them, they might follow you.

I just followed you because you followed me. I looked at your profile and see that we have common interests and I like what I see. It is best to try to get followers that are going to stick around for a while instead of following a bunch of people and disappearing.

I'm not the greatest at getting followers, but the ones I've gotten have been from two things. One, some come because you've written interesting things. Two, some come because you've written really thoughtful posts. Doing both, and commenting more than you post, is the key.

I'm new here too. I think eventually you and I will find our niche. You will gravitate toward like minded people and they will gravitate toward you.
