I have to ask, “How do you even get over 1,000 followers?” I think you have like 1.5 k. Wow! Good for you! I am happy with just under 900 and more happy if 4 people actually respond to my comments and blogs.
My blog is more than 5 years old now. Even after having 1500 followers I hardly get 100 views.
Yeah, mine is older actually. I started in 2013 when we had a business. I enjoy it, just for recall.
Hmmmm, we have to just keep going.
Well, I also use it to showcase my writing. I finished my debut novel, “The Bayou Heist” and published with Barringers. Now I am completing my second novel, follow up. Yes, we keep moving forward.
Wow!!! Congratulations 🙌
