It has been said time and time again that you shouldn't be blogging if you're just in it for the followers/publicity but having followers is a pretty important part of having a successful blog. So our question is, other than by producing great, regular content, what do you think is the best way to gain new followers? Is it just commenting, or social media platforms like facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc.? Tell us what has worked for you or what hasn't. As an up and coming business, we're curious to know how other bloggers go about the process of promoting their blog - which platform have you found most usefull for generating visitors to your website/blog?

hmm...

Profound question but i have the same answer...

Only way to get followers is follow others, when you follow me, i ll be buzzed to know about you and your blog.As a reciprocal i may follow you...It is funny When we stand like a Stupa but expect people to follow us...Other than all, we must write quality stuffs and it must be interesting and should not bore the reader and a clean layout also plays a role.

True. If you want to earn respect, your quality has to be good. Of course. But also you will need to learn about appreciating quality stuff from others as well.

Quality content is the single most important factor in getting mass following. Concentrate on content and then worry about other things later. You need to interect with others to get followers, respond to each and every comment, etc.

I seriously don't know.I haven't unlocked the secret yet.:-P It's been 10 months since I have started blogging and I have 129 followers. But not even 10% of them read my stuff or comment on them.:-D So frankly speaking,I don't know. But Deepak Kartik seems to be giving some sound advice in this regard here. Follow others indiscriminately,comment on their posts indiscriminately,and chances are a portion of them will do the same for your blog!Cheers!!!:-D
