I started by following blogs with which I had a common interest and blogged similar subject matter. In my case that was art, cartoons, humor and poetry. That’s a seed that flowers into a network. Never be a jerk by asking anyone to visit your blog or please give a like and comment. New bloggers often do that but such is rejected and ignored by most established bloggers. Quality blogging has its own magnetism to expand with followers. Be careful what you wish for. I get at least 600 blog emails a day and could never return visit to all. But I have about 75 very loyal followers and they get my priority visits. I never use profanity and make my posts clean, unoffensive and wholesome. Best of luck to you. I was in your same shoes 5 years ago.
Hi Carl. You were selected to be on the WordPress Discover feed over the weekend. That’s how I discovered you (and may explain the increased traffic). But I followed you because I like your stuff! Dee
Thank you for your response. Sorry I missed your reply earlier. Social media is new to me and I have a lot to learn! No, haven’t seen “Judy in the sky…” was totally involved in raising children at the time.
