Today is "Follow you" day for me

A Q&A question caught my attention where the question was posed "What the heck do I have to do to get you to FOLLOW me"? Well, not quite in those crass words, but she had a point.

I have not paid attention to the FOLLOW buttons at all, there are so many new things to push and prod such as "LIKE" and "COMMENT" in different places.

The result? My "POINTS" button tells me I made over 12,639 points so far this month , and that with only writing 8 blogs. (I used to participate in the 30/month contests!)

Blogs normally added up to about half of all my points for the month.

No more.

Now I blithely go to the Q&A section and have a good old time. Doesn't do much to read and or write some good blog content that could really help me, but it's been fun.

NOW I NEED TO GET BACK DOWN TO BUSINESS: SEO.

So, first I need to build up my fan club (followers) in order that I have a chance at getting some comments on any blogs I write. Yes, it looks much better when the general public finds one of them and someone has actually cared that I wrote it!!

That's why I have gone back and tried to FOLLOW everyone who has been kind enough to comment on any recent blogs and my Q&A questions.

FOLLOWING: I went from 169 this morning to 243 - added 64.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OF THE ONES I NOW "FOLLOW" ARE ALSO FOLLOWING ME BACK.

FOLLOWERS: Right this minute I'm at 140. Let's see how many will follow me back from the 64 I just added.

Susan Haughton - I believe you are following me on my California blog. There's where some of the catch-up is happening from my side as well. But I was under strict AR orders not to mesh the two with cross links.

Well, honey, I've been following you for awhile--so there!

I know that my posts are being seen more often when I hit the Google+ button and share that, as well as FB...just my two cents' worth.

Hella, I echo what Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Realtor (503)755-2905 said. There is so much to do and so little time yet there are always plenty of distractions that keep us from what we "should" be doing for business.

Kathleen Daniels - Too true. It's been such a crazy first half of the year, actually didn't have the time to blog. Have made the time here in Hawaii. It helps to have the crazy time difference.

Myrl Jeffcoat - You are also probably already following me on my California blog. Interesting, I can do business in two states, but can't write blogs in both at the same time. Real estate is so different in each, as is everything else.

Good evening Hella Mitschke Rothwell , I have noticed a lot of Rainers have left the blogging and went to the Q & A section. I'm sure that many of them will return. Wow! adding 64 in one day is a bunch. Keep it going! Let me add one more.
